In this article, we tell you the story of both soccer players, who, after five years, meet again in a club in the Copa Peru. The striking thing is that the city that made them meet is the same city that dreams of promotion thanks to them: Huacho.

Ronaldo, from Venezuela to Peru:
His name is Ronaldo Tipian, he is a defensive midfielder who was born on June 27, 1995, in Caracas, Venezuela. How does a Venezuelan play in the Copa Peru? It happens that the midfielder has Peruvian parents. This made it much easier for him to obtain Peruvian citizenship.
The reason for his name is that his father was a fan of the Brazilian forward who won the World Cup in 2002 and played for clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter, and AC Milan. He explains it.
"My dad obviously named me after Ronaldo Nazario, in '94 they took him to his first World Cup and without playing a single minute, my dad liked his name," he says. Although he clarifies that he doesn't play as a forward. "I play as a midfielder, I'm more of a defensive player than an attacking one," he added.
Ronaldo Tipian played in the First Division in his country with the Deportivo Petaré. However, in 2016, he decided to start a new adventure in our country. In his early days, he was able to train as a guest player in Alianza Lima's reserve team, and once he had his Peruvian papers, he started his journey in the Copa Peru. His first team in the "fútbol macho" was Ciclista Lima.
