Last Saturday, Alianza Lima achieved an important victory (1-0) against UTC, in the match corresponding to the 7th round of the Clausura Tournament 2023 of Liga 1 Betsson. After not winning for four consecutive matches, the blanquiazul team celebrated in front of their fans and got back in the fight for the second tournament of the year. After that, Nixon Perea, the coach who led his last match in the first team to pass the baton to Mauricio Larriera, analyzed the match against 'Gavilan' and highlighted the performance of his players.
"The most important thing was that we needed this match. Four matches in a row that we hadn't won and today it was quite important for us. The game is like that, sometimes you leave happy or not, sometimes you deserve it or not, and the most important thing is what we see for Alianza. Now comes coach Mauricio and he will have to guide this team in what is left of the Clausura Tournament", said the Colombian strategist in the press conference.
It is important to note that for the match against UTC, Alianza Lima surprised by playing with a three-line scheme, something that finally worked for them to take the victory at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium. Based on this, Nixon Perea confirmed that he decided to apply this formation because the squad is capable of competing with various systems.
"I think that with players like Zambrano, García, and Míguez, you can play with a three-line, you can also play with Peruzzi in a four-line. The team has versatility because of the ability of its players", he said.
When will Alianza Lima play again?
After this 1-0 victory over UTC, Alianza Lima will play again next week when they visit Cusco FC for the eighth round of the Clausura Tournament 2023 of Liga 1 Betsson. The match is scheduled for Sunday, August 13 at 3:15 p.m., it will be played at the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega stadium, and will have the exclusive broadcast of Liga 1 MAX.
This match will mark the debut of Mauricio Larriera as the head coach of the 'blanquiazules', who will start working with the complete squad from Monday 7. The Uruguayan will have a quite complicated debut, as the Cusco team will try to take advantage of the altitude of the imperial city to impose their game.
