The Peruvian football classic will be played on Sunday, February 19 and Alianza Lima arrives with all the enthusiasm in the world after defeating Sport Boys 2-0 in their official debut in the 2023 Liga 1. For this reason, one of their footballers expressed optimism and dared to leave a provocative message for Universitario de Deportes.
We are referring to Ricardo Lagos, who was intercepted by Ovation and gave some statements outside the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium. The national football player spoke about what the classic against Universitario will be like, which will take place at the Monumental, home of the crema team, who will also be looking for victory after losing 1-0 to Unión Comercio last weekend.
"In the Monumental I have always done well and I hope that doesn't change, here it is not about who arrives well or badly, classics are classics," said Ricardo Lagos, who was part of Alianza Lima's two-time championship and is already a well-known player among the blanquiazul fans. It is worth noting that the albos celebrate 122 years of existence on February 15, so a victory would be the perfect gift for their people.
"The classic week is very beautiful, a great atmosphere is lived with the whole team," added the Peruvian full-back, who played a total of 37 matches with Alianza Lima last season, scoring a goal on the day the La Victoria team defeated Carlos Stein 5-2 in Matute.
