If 11 years ago, Peruvian soccer technicians had passed through the Alliance and had a style that applied in allianceWhy didn’t they come out champion? Pablo came and became the Uruguayan champion, he reached the Libertadores, he comes back to a championship final in which he has every chance of losing because the finals are played to win, and if the other team won it is because he made the good stuff, ”he said.

On the work of his compatriots Bengoechea and Gregorio Pérez in the League 1 He indicated: “When the footballer speaks well of a coach, it is that something left him beyond the titles, Gregorio spent less than a year and the players who spoke highly of Gregorio means that something left them.
