'Kanko' Rodriguez: "Alianza will be three-time champion, the 'U' should not win in its Centennial"

"Alliance is going for the tricampeonato, and next year (2024), we have to win the championship again, since University cannot win in its Centenary", said "Kanko" to Depor.

For the former player, the best friend he had from his footballing days is José 'Pepe' Soto. "He is my spiritual compadre. A great friend that football left me. Great experiences together," he commented. With the former captain of Alianza Lima, "Kanko" has many anecdotes, just like with his best coach during his footballing career: Miguel Ángel Arrué. "He was the best coach I had throughout my career as a player," he recognized.

At another time, Rodríguez referred to his nickname "Kanko". "My name is Marco Antonio, but when I was very young, because I couldn't pronounce my name correctly, I used to say 'Kanko' instead of Marco, and it stuck."

Regarding the current footballing moment of the team led by Uruguayan coach Mauricio Larriera, he indicated: "Alliance is slowly adding points, everything is hard-fought, but it will be tricampeon."
