INTERVIEW: "Physicality matters, but if you want to be a goalkeeper, you must have a mental strength different from any player"
While 'Chicho' Salas and his team maintained their course, quietly but hurriedly, another path was being forged off the field. As is often the case in an institution the size of Alianza, the reserved had little time to live. Thus, the internal struggle of a fragmented Blanquiazul Fund with two very marked factions came to light. The recent events lead to a change of course, which will be concretized in the coming weeks. But until then, several questions come to the mind of the Alianza fan. Here, five concrete answers to explain and clarify what is happening in the Peruvian champion.
1. Who are part of the Blanquiazul Fund and why have three of its members decided to sell their claims?
In its beginnings, the Blanquiazul Fund was formed by Fernando Farah, Diego Gonzales Posada, Salomón Lerner, Antonio Armejo, and César Torres. These five were the ones who invested in the purchase of claims and under which the Fund was structured. Thus, a working group was formed among these five people, to whom some other guests linked to the operation were added, with whom decisions were made about the activities of the Blanquiazul Fund.
The recent case of the sale of claims by Lerner, Farah, and Armejo is due to the need to give a change to the internal leadership of the Fund, which allows an even more ambitious orientation regarding the institutional objectives that the club has: to provide greater sports strength than has been achieved so far and, of course, to attract even more investors who inject capital for the development and growth of Alianza Lima.

2. Have these claims sales been completed?
The sale of the claims of Salomón Lerner, Antonio Armejo, and Fernando Farah has already been completed through all legal formalities and corresponding procedures. It is an internal operation, that is, it does not affect the Creditors Committee because what has been sold is the participation in the Blanquiazul Fund.
In the Creditors Committee, the representation of the Fund's claims is a single conglomerate, so what must happen is that a new Creditors Committee is called and the new investors, owners of the majority (53%) of the Fund's participation, assume a leadership role and conduct of this Blanquiazul Fund.
3. Who would be the new creditors? What would happen to Diego Gonzales Posada?
Gonzales Posada will maintain his 47%, a little less actually since he shares a percentage of that participation with César Torres. However, the command and management pass into the hands of the new investors, led by Irzio Pinasco, who is the representative of this new investment group.
It is worth noting that Salomón Lerner, Fernando Farah, and Antonio Armejo have expressed their intention to 'continue' now from the role of partners, to always be close to the decisions that can be made in the future.
