This news was not unknown to Juan Reynoso, who was aware of the matches that made thousands of fans excited. For the coach of the Peruvian National Team, Melgar was a clear favorite to win the title, but they were defeated by the competitiveness of Alianza Lima.
"Melgar was the favorite, but that's competitiveness. I heard about how they played and I'm glad that these things happen in football. The semifinals were very intense matches and I imagine that Sunday's final will be even better," said Juan Reynoso in a press conference.
In addition, he made it clear that Melgar had lined up players who were in the first team, which makes Alianza Lima's qualification for the final of the Reserves Tournament even more valuable.
