For many, Christian Cueva is one of the most iconic players of his generation, but his present in Alianza Lima is a mystery. After causing a disciplinary incident, 'Aladino' finds himself in a difficult situation at the white and blue club, who is seeking to terminate his contract.
Amidst this controversy, the Peruvian national team midfielder spoke with Mago 'Plomo' on the program 'El Fuera de Lista' from Movistar Deportes. During the conversation between the two characters, the interviewer did not hesitate to compare the footballer to Spider-Man.
"Spider-Man has a quote that says: 'With great power comes great responsibility.' That's something that I would like you to internalize. When you put on the national team jersey, people see you as a superhero. People see you as that player who represents the fan, who will do a nutmeg or a hat trick," he said.
He then added: "With great power also comes great disappointments. I wish you the best, that you rise from this moment with work, discipline, and humility. You've done it several times. You've fallen and gotten back up many times."
