ALIANZA LIMA IN 2023
Everything changes, it's the law of life and destiny takes care of making it happen. Coach Guillermo Salas carries a national title on his shoulders with Alianza Lima, he has gained experience and is already making different decisions from last year. Despite being champion, his base team will undergo changes this season and its 'spine' will be based on three reinforcements. In the background, Carlos Zambrano is indisputable. The popular 'Chicho' has no doubts about it.
In midfield, Jairo Concha has lost relevance and weight. At the moment, he is replaceable, as the coach feels that he has not been motivated in the best way and his place will be taken by Colombian Andrés Andrade, who enjoys his full trust.
Finally, the '9' role will have a new surname. They won't take risks with Hernán Barcos. He is a player who performs at a local level, but in international matches, he is not the same and his age (38) weighs on him. The 'Pirate' has options to start in Liga 1, but in the 'Copa', Pablo Sabbag will be the protagonist.
