Why was Piero Alva trending days before Alianza Lima vs. Universitario?

The Alianza Lima vs. Universitario match, which will take place in Matute, will be the most attractive of the 10th round of the Clausura Tournament. The ‘cremas’ are looking to get revenge for the 4-1 defeat suffered at the Monumental and for this they are working hard in training with the best of their squad. However, a few days before this commitment, Piero Alva was trending on Twitter.

The 'Zorrito' was presented by the 'U' as the new head of the minor technical unit; which generated a lot of interaction among cream fans.

"I don't know what the requirement is for someone to take a position at the U. Seriously! First with Manuel Barreto as sports manager without having any experience... oh, but having a degree was enough. Now Piero Alva in minors? As far as I know, he doesn't have any experience in that position," is one of the tweets about it.

The comments in favor of the former footballer continued. "Well, one thing is Piero Alva, who can be understood when he talks about football, unlike Gregorio Bernales, Pajuelo, Maldonado (who were given the women's team), Carranza who talked to you about passion, etc. And in his time, not a single player has come out who can be sold abroad."

Likewise, the fans hope that Alva will do a good job in player development. "Unfortunately, they didn't get the only sports manager they asked for and ended up with nothing, not even a plan B. That's why Barreto takes over and that position was left vacant. I hope Piero Alva does well, it's a big challenge and he must face it with the utmost responsibility," says one user.

Through their social networks, the ‘merengue’ team announced the incorporation of Alva as the new head of the minor technical unit: "Piero Alva takes over the leadership of Universitario's Minor Technical Unit. Keep giving everything for the champion!"
