This Sunday, Alianza Lima returns to action, this time, to face UTC at Héroes de San Ramón in Cajamarca. The 'íntimo' team knows it will be a tough duel, so they have been preparing hard to secure the three points of the ninth matchday of the Clausura Tournament.
Jefferson Portales and Ricardo Lagos announced this when asked about the clash this weekend. "We will go for the three points in Cajamarca. Regardless of the synthetic field or the altitude, all opponents are difficult and we will go for it. We know it will be tough", 'Richi' expressed to the press.
Portales maintained that "it is always complicated to play in Cajamarca", furthermore, they take into account the team's current situation, which they do not believe will be decisive for Sunday's match. "They are not in a pleasant stage, but they will want to get out of that moment against us", he pointed out.
Next, he confessed that, despite the complexity of this match, he hopes to earn the coach's trust to be in the starting eleven. "I know that an opportunity opens up for me, but that is decided by Carlos Bustos. One always prepares to enter", he said in this regard.
Lagos did not hesitate to affirm regarding the match against Sport Huancayo, which was played last weekend, that "we are happy with the victory", taking into account that the team went with the goal of winning this rematch, as in the match that both clubs had in the Apertura, the íntimos lost and were out of the title race. Now the story is different, with the goal of fighting at the top of the Clausura.
The UTC vs Alianza Lima match will be played this Sunday, August 28th, starting at 3:30 p.m. at the Héroes de San Ramón Stadium. The transmission will be in charge of GOLPERU and can also be watched via streaming on Movistar Play. You can find all the details on Depor.
