Aldo Corzo already knew that throwing himself face first in the match against Colombia would generate a foul. Although it could have been just adrenaline, the player of the Peruvian National Team made it clear: he knew he would win a foul in favor of the team.
"Whatever I play, I play with everything, be it a video game or a small football match. I can't play and enjoy without giving my all. I always get annoyed when they call me 'pusillanimous,' because I know they can't say that about me. They can say many things to me and that's fine, I accept them, but never 'pusillanimous'," he said to La Banca.

'La Muelita', who is competing with Luis Advíncula for the right back position, hopes to move abroad after the performance of the Peruvian National Team in Russia 2018. "It's the only thing missing for me to be happy with myself, with my life. I'm at the limit. I want to play abroad. It's difficult to reach certain leagues at this age (29 years old) and I'm being realistic. I hope the opportunity presents itself," he said.
Also, even though retirement is still far away, he confessed that when he hangs up his cleats, he would like to pursue a master's degree in sports management. "Right now, I don't see myself as a coach, but I would like to be involved in sports. I've always been involved in it. I don't know what will happen, but I think I will continue in sports," he said. That, of course, is speaking about the future. Aldo Corzo still has a lot to offer.
