Carlos Desio, Alianza Atlético de Sullana coach, recalled the “10” of the Peruvian team staying with Santos in Brazil and the problems he had adapting to.
Everything points to it Christian Ceva He will be a new player from Alianza Lima and the official announcement will come in the next few hours. Although his return to Matute raises great expectations, especially given his performances abroad, many remember the problems he had to adapt to Jorge Sampaolis Santos. In this respect, an old acquaintance of the 31-year-old player, Carlos Desio, was encouraged to talk about “Aladdin”.
The current manager of Alianza Atlético de Sullana and ex-assistant of ‘Sampa’ at the Brazilian club was surprised by the premature return of the ’10’ of the Peruvian team to the 1st division.

“I didn’t envision Cueva being here in Peru so early. Maybe a little later but I don’t think coming back to Alianza Lima is a setback; coming to a big club is never a setback,” he said with the program “Todas las Voices of Soccer”.
Likewise, the strategist recalled the attacker’s passage through the Peixe and revealed the reason that complicated his adaptation to the game system implemented by Jorge Sampaoli.
“I was Sampaoli’s assistant at Santos. There (Cueva) didn’t have much continuity because of the defensive problem. Jorge has a very defensive style and so it was difficult for him to adapt,” he said.
Similarly, Dessio felt that Cueva is a “very complete player and will add a lot to this Alianza”. Let’s remember that the main goals of the Intimates are to achieve the three-time national championship and to have a good campaign in the Copa Libertadores.
