Enterados los hinchas del FBC Melgar, sobre the birth of Bernardo Cuesta's first son, they began to thank God because the Argentine's offspring increased. Especially because they hope that the new Arequipeño will have his father's talent to play many years in Melgar and also in the Peruvian National Team.
He is blessed. He is a father for the third time. Piero is the name of his baby. "Not in vain is one born at the foot of a volcano," reads a traditional Arequipeño phrase that falls on excellent ears in the midst of joy, for the arrival of a new being.
"My daughters and my family are die-hard FBC Melgar fans and that is why I dedicate all my goals to them," he once said in reference to his two younger ones.

His first daughter is Sara, who was also born in Arequipa, and his second daughter is another great joy for the beautiful family that the footballer and his wife Ornella Mancini have formed.
Meanwhile, the Melgar idol is doing well with the red and black shirt, being the top scorer of the team in the Liga 1 and the Copa Sudamericana with eight goals in both competitions.
This Friday, he will come out with the fuse lit towards the goal of UTC de Cajamarca, in a key match to maintain the first place in the accumulated standings.
The Cajamarca team is having an irregular campaign from mid-table down.
Anyway, the possibility of starting as a starter will be evaluated because the team will play next week, on August 4, against Internacional de Brasil in the Copa Sudamericana.
Cuesta reached 150 goals with the Melgar team, surpassing 123 by Genaro Neyra and 116 by Ysrael Zúñiga. It should be noted that these goals were scored with Melgar as a professional team, since before winning the Copa Peru, Eduardo "Patato" Márquez scored over 160.

Today it will be known what is the injury of Leonel Galeano and whether he will be able to play on Friday at 3.30pm in Arequipa, against UTC de Cajamarca. The most likely thing is that the center-back will be replaced by the young Matías Lazo, who had a good performance against Sport Huancayo.
On Thursday Melgar will host Internacional de Brasil for the Sudamericana and the aim is to have the best squad on the field. Horacio Orzán could return to the midfield, as well as Luis Iberico in the attack.
