Arley Rodríguez: his numbers at Alianza Lima
Arley Rodríguez played for Alianza Lima in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. The Colombian player appeared in 61 matches and scored 8 goals wearing the blanquiazul jersey.
One of the most enjoyable matches for Alianza Lima fans during the 2022 campaign was undoubtedly the classic against Universitario de Deportes at the Monumental Stadium, where they overwhelmed their rival with a 4-1 victory and left several memorable moments.
For example, the third goal for the blanquiazules was scored by Arley Rodríguez, who celebrated by showing his shirt and emulating a celebration that Lionel Messi popularized against Barcelona in another classic against Real Madrid.
However, the popular 'Berraquera' said that he had planned a much more provocative celebration. The idea was to make the gesture of a "little chicken," but he was eventually persuaded not to do it because it could result in expulsion and a heavy sanction.
"I tell Aldair (Rodríguez), 'if I enter, score a goal, and do the 'little chicken,' what happens?' He replied, 'no man, don't do that because they will expel you,' and I told him 'but it would be worth the expulsion,'" said the 'cafetero' in an interview for Pelota de Trapo.
Let us remember that if there are no inconveniences, Arley Rodríguez will play for Deportivo Pereira, the reigning champion of Colombian football.
