The story between Christian Cueva and Alianza Lima officially came to an end. This Saturday, December 2nd, the small club confirmed via social networks the departure of “Aladino” for the 2024 League 1 season. “Good luck in your next sporting projects, Christian!” was the farewell message from the blue and white team . for the midfielder, who was duly presented as one of the most promising newcomers at the beginning of the year, but in the end did not live up to expectations.
Among the problems that marred the talented midfielder’s time in the small squad were his own constant injuries and the infamous case of indiscipline that occurred mid-season when he was absent from training without permission. Although the player had agreed with the board to be awarded, his performance as the championship continued did not convince fans.
As if that wasn’t enough, “Cuevita” was also not considered by the coach for the title playoffs against Universitario de Deportes because he was not in optimal physical condition. His lack of continuity also affected his presence in the Peru team as he was not selected to start the qualification.
What were Christian Cueva’s numbers in Alianza Lima?
This year, Christian Cueva played 27 games between Liga 1 and Copa Libertadores, in which he didn’t score a goal and barely provided an assist. Statistically speaking, it was one of the worst campaigns of his career.
