Henry Quinteros, one of the great idols of the past and beloved by the fans due to the two titles that back him up in Matute, referred to important details of the game plan of his former teammate, Guillermo Salas. One of them revolves around the idea of ​​bringing together the creatives Christian Cueva and Andrés Andrade, who in his opinion, are not forming a good pair and help the opposing teams have more spaces with the ball in the early stages of the matches.

"Personally, I see that putting Cueva together with Andrade, they are not doing things right. In the last two matches, Alianza gave away the first half," said the popular 'Pato'.

Quinteros also expressed himself about the controversies surrounding Alianza Lima, especially the most recent one against Deportivo Municipal. As a reminder, referee Edwin Ordoñez considered Carlos Zambrano's goal valid despite the fact that Hernán Barcos, who participated in the previous play, was in an offside position. "When these last few rounds arrive, it is always said that the leading team is favored. But we have to be realistic, Peruvian refereeing is not going through a good moment," he said to Ovación.

When and at what time does Melgar vs. Alianza Lima play?

The match for matchday 16 between Melgar from Arequipa and Alianza Lima will be played at Estadio Monumental de la UNSA on Friday, May 19th, at 6:30 PM.
