Claudio Pizarro has always been, football-wise, more German than Peruvian. A son of order on the field. However, his red-and-white heart has never stopped beating. The 'Bombardero de los Andes' had his spectacular farewell match in Bremen, the city where he began his conquest of Germany. But he could also have one in Peru, in the heart of La Victoria, the neighborhood that enjoyed him so much in the late 90s.
MIRA: Claudio Pizarro: year after year, the figures left by the incredible goalscorer who says goodbye in Germany
"The organization of the farewell here is long, tedious, so once it's over, that's when I'll start rethinking things to have the farewell in Peru. I still don't know in which stadium, but I would obviously like it to be at Matute, I leave it there, waiting for it." ", Claudio had said in the press conference prior to his farewell match.
"Club Alianza Lima expresses its pride in the football career that Claudio Pizarro has had and opens the doors of Estadio Alejandro Villanueva for him to have his farewell in Peru. We wait for you!", the club responded on their social media.
Pizarro played 56 matches wearing the Alianza shirt and scored 27 goals. He did not win any titles but became an ambassador for the Victoria team due to his incredible career in Europe, where he always showed his love for the blue and white. In fact, one of the moments that stood out the most during his farewell was when the Alianza shield was drawn on the Weserstadion pitch.
There is no date, let alone a time, but it is very likely that Claudio Pizarro will say goodbye to football for the second time, and definitively, at the Estadio Alejandro Villanueva. That's why, in Deporte Total, we remember the best farewells and tributes at Matute.
