Alianza Lima made many changes for the 2024 season, including the reorganization of the club’s sports area, which was in charge of analyzing and beginning to recruit signings. Above all, because this season they are going all out for the national title and doing a good job in the Copa Libertadores. Among those who arrived for the current campaign were Renzo Garcés, Cecilio Waterman, Kevin Serna, Sebastián Rodríguez, Adrián Arregui and five other players, with whom he closed his squad for the Apertura Tournament. However, there were some names that did not move to La Victoria, such as the case of Luis Iberico, who a few days ago won the Latvian Super Cup championship.
The 26-year-old forward told RPP that there were communications with the blue and white team, but that he chose to remain at Riga FC, a club in the Latvian First Division. “I had contact with Alianza Lima, but I decided to stay. It was this year, a month ago, when I was in preseason in Turkey,” the player said.
The former Melgar attacker moved to European lands in mid-2023, where he has played 13 games and scored four goals. However, for this year he has not added minutes, since the league will only start this weekend, with the club’s first match being this Sunday, March 10, starting at 6:00 am (Peruvian time).
Although the season still starts in Latvia, Iberico admitted that he hopes to continue improving to be considered by Jorge Fossati. “I felt growth when I got here. Whether they wanted to call me or not, I work for it. Now I am focused on the start of the league,” he indicated, although he also maintained that “I have not had contact with the technical command of the National Team. I hope and long for it.”
Regarding the sporting level at the club and in the championship, he admitted that “the ball runs a lot. The league is very physical. They go forward, they are vertical. They hit a lot.” Of course, he confirmed his intentions to continue fighting for a place in his club’s starting lineup, to continue growing professionally: “I want to be here, win a championship and jump to a better league.”
The present of Alianza Lima
Alianza Lima is in fourth place in the standings, with 12 points, after falling 2-0 against ADT in Tarma, a result that also brought with it the expulsion of Franco Saravia, who will be one of the absences against to Sporting Cristal, next rival on date 7 of the Apertura Tournament. For this match, the intimates will play at home and hope to have the support of their fans to surpass the championship leader.
Precisely, so far more than 30 thousand tickets have been sold for the clash against the Rimenses. Through their social networks, the ‘blue and white’ team announced that the sale of seats is being a success and it is most likely that there will soon be none left. Of course, let’s remember that this duel will only be played with local fans.
It must be taken into account that this match will be played at the National Stadium because Alejandro Villanueva continues to be disqualified from any competition organized by the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF), as established by the Disciplinary Commission in its announced seven-month sanction. in November last year. This, as is known, as a result of the blackout caused in the second leg final against Universitario de Deportes.
