Alianza Lima's victory over UTC generates comments

Alianza Lima's 1-0 victory over UTC in matchday 7 of the 2023 Liga 1 Clausura generated many comments, especially from frustrated blanquiazules fans due to the team's performance. However, it also brought something good for the íntimos, as it marked the debut of Jhoao Velásquez in La Victoria's first team. The football player is the grandson of the well-known 'Patrón' José Velásquez.

Debut of Jhoao Velásquez

As we know, the midfielder, who can also play as a central defender, had been called up on five occasions before, but Guillermo Salas had not given him the opportunity to debut in the Liga 1. However, Nixon Perea knows him very well as he had coached him in the reserves, so he decided to send him onto the field.

Jhoao Velásquez's debut causes a stir

After having played in the Copa Libertadores Sub 20, Jhoao Velásquez finally debuted for Alianza Lima, which caused a stir because he is a relative of the 'Patrón', who is an idol in the blanquiazul squad. Many videos of his past were leaked on social media, and below we show you one of them.

Interview with Jhoao Velásquez

Through his official Twitter account, journalist Alfredo Ccasa Godoy published an interview he conducted a few years ago with Jhoao Velásquez for Alianza Lima's social media. In the footage, the young player expressed his pride in being José Velásquez's grandson and his excitement to play for the victorian club.

Other players also debut for Alianza Lima

A week ago, in Alianza Lima's draw against Universidad César Vallejo in Trujillo, Nixon Perea made Enzo Borletti and Bassco Soyer debut. Both players have been standing out in the club's reserves.
