‘Aladdin’ debuted! Christian Cueva celebrated its official revival with a T-shirt Alliance of Lima in the game against Sport Huancayo on the 8th matchday of the 1st division 2023. In the Minute 70 of the supplementary phase, Guillermo ‘Chicho’ Salas has decided that the skilled national team midfielder will step in for Colombia’s Andrés Andrade to add minutes for the Blue and Whites. Cueva was a bet by the manager to seek a comeback as the familiar side were losing 2-1 at the time. After his debut, the ’10’ of the Peru team was approached by the press at the exit of Huancayo Stadium and gave a brief message.
“I’m happy. The team is doing well, just as you win, you often lose,” he told the press. Then it is heard that they asked him: “Could have been a better debut right?” At first, “Aladino” made a gesture for them to repeat the question, but when they were asked the same question, Alianza Lima’s “23” decided not to answer and only managed to laugh.
Christian Cueva After eight years, he returned to his loved ones’ club, when he decided to pursue his career abroad. As we recall, the former Santos and Al-Fateh footballer was in a Victorian shop during the 2014 season and played for the last time against Unión Comercio on July 12 of that year with a blue and white mica.
The midfielder of the Peruvian side will surely get more minutes soon as the Conmebol Libertadores Cup approaches and it would be one of the main cards for Alianza Lima to play a good tournament.
