Rodrigo Ureña: "It will be essential to elevate individual performance to support the collective."

Rodrigo Ureña is the anchor midfielder of Jorge Fossati in Universitario de Deportes. One of the few foreign players who enjoys greater regularity in the season. With grit and football, the Chilean has earned the applause of the cream universe. He assures that he does not look sideways at direct rivals to win the Clausura Tournament, but rather focuses on what his team does. In addition, he appreciates the support of the fans, because since he arrived in Peruvian football he felt their support, which he repays every match on the field.

"We know that each match will be a final for us, and we must win them. We are with all the illusion of being able to do the best possible. We focus on our own," said the number '5' of the team from Ate to Prensa Universitario. Asked about this fifteenth match, in which they had a rest, he said: "We knew what was going to happen, we took it as a breather to work. We have to improve some things that we haven't been doing well."

Support from the fans

At another moment, the defensive midfielder referred to the support of the fans after overcoming an adaptation start in Universitario. "I came to show what I can do, and to be up to the institution, whatever it needs. They have treated me very well. In the streets, they make me feel their love and support. We have to work to do the best possible for the institution."

Finally, Rodrigo Ureña assured that the pressure to play for a big team will always be present. "We have been preparing ourselves and confident in what we will do in the final stretch. It is essential to elevate individual performances to help the collective."

The Chilean player's contract with Universitario de Deportes ends at the end of the season, but he is one of the foreigners who enjoys consensus to extend his stay in the cream team with an eye on the Centenario. For now, the conversations are advanced, but everything will depend on the end-of-year picture.
