Cueva demands that they remove the suspension date: "It's a lie and I won't allow it."

Christian Cueva received the red card in Alianza Lima's victory over Unión Comercio due to a supposed insult to the fourth referee, so the same player decided to speak out to deny this allegation and demand that the sanction be annulled because he considers it a lie.

The player known as 'Aladino' once again spoke up and only wanted to say that he hopes they make a good decision, considering that, together with the club, they presented compelling evidence with the help of the people who were close to the incident.

"I imagine that is in progress, I haven't asked yet. The truth is that they should remove that date from me. I will wait and I hope they make the best decision because if we speak the truth, we have presented compelling evidence. The commissioner and I think some journalists who were broadcasting it have already said it and it is more than clear," he began to say on GOLPERÚ.

Likewise, the midfielder of the Peruvian national team confessed that he approached the main referee to find out what happened, and although he did not want to go into details afterwards, he showed his confidence in himself by saying it is a lie and he will not allow them to prevent him from playing because he believes he did absolutely nothing wrong.

"I approached him (Diego Haro), to ask him what the fourth ref said, it is not good to repeat it anymore and it is a lie, I will not allow that. I don't speak much about the red card or the suspension date they give me, I would love them to remove it because it's unfair, but if we allow this to happen and I am punished without having done anything wrong, what we generate is that we do not move forward," he added emphatically.

Finally, it is important to mention that the sanctions bulletin of the Liga 1 2023 revealed that Christian Cueva was suspended for one game and, in theory, will not be able to help Guillermo Salas in the match against Mannucci.

Alianza Lima will play in the Copa Libertadores on May 3 against Atlético Mineiro as visitors. The match will take place at 19:30 hours in Peru and 21:30 hours in Brazil.
