This variation by the Alianza Lima coach was a topic of analysis on the latest episode of 'A Presión', leading to a heated debate between former footballer Julinho and sports journalist Peter Arévalo.
On the one hand, the Brazilian native congratulated the versatility of the Alianza player for being able to take on a new role on the field, highlighting that this should be implemented in the training of all professional players, being able to play in more than one position.
However, the mentioned press man pointed out a 'double discourse' to Julinho, mentioning that the Brazilian had previously condemned these types of variations because they took away the chances for any young player to show themselves in that part of the field.
That's when things heated up and the former Sporting Cristal player exploded, denying this statement. "I'm going to be very clear with you, you don't come here to make me look bad in front of people. Shut your f***ing mouth and listen, d**n it," exclaimed Julinho.
Gino Peruzzi was recovering from his grade one ankle sprain on his right ankle, so he could not start as a starter in the last match against Cantolao. And his natural substitute, Édinson Chávez, was also unavailable due to a muscle tear. For this reason, Professor Salas decided that it was a good time to try Aldair Rodríguez as a right-back, and he did not disappoint.
