The capital classic tonight at the University Olympics is not one more that will go down in the record between felines and eagles. The Cougars vs America of Day 8 will have the curiosity for the presence of Dani Alves who will live his first classic in Mexico.
The attention will be on the historic Brazilian soccer player, on whom the auriazules illusions fall for this Apertura 2022. After the humiliation (6-0) suffered by Barcelona last Sunday, Alves will seek his first victory with the felines.
The South American legend has two league games (Mazatlán FC and Rayados) and the dispute over Joan Gamper, but he still hasn’t won. In case of not beating the staunch rival, the pressure will grow for Andrés Lillini, Dani Alves and all of Pumas.
The legendary footballer, formerly of Barcelona, is an expert in classics. With a balance in his favor in all of them, he has played derbies in Spain, Brazil, France, Italy and now he plays in Mexico, where pressure should not be a problem for the man born in Bahia, Brazil.
In the games he has played at Ciudad Universitaria, Alves participated for 90 minutes, but his performance has not been anything spectacular; against the Eagles, the time has come to make the difference that his fans and all of Mexican soccer expect.
America owns Ciudad Universitaria, with 13 wins for eight losses since the short tournaments were established. The azulcrema paternity should have a stop with the presence of Alves, in addition to the good team that the auriazules put together.
Today, the spotlight will fall on Alves, but this time not only because of his presence in CU… It is time for the star to begin to shine… without excuses.
