The Universitario striker was shaken by the defeat to the two-time champions and mentioned he still has work to do in his game.
Alex Walera, forward for Universitario, featured in the defeat his team suffered against Alianza Lima in the Classic on day 5 of the inaugural Liga 1 tournament in 2023. The attacker explained after the game and like Raúl Ruidíaz, he was unhappy with the negative result against the Blue and Whites. Despite the ejection of Carlos Zambrano, who made provocative gestures in the stands, the creams did not come back from behind and disappointed their fans.
The former Al-Fateh player has stood in front of the cameras and self-criticized his performance on the field. The last time he blew up the nets was at the start of the Peruvian competition. And after the classic, the ‘9’ merengue didn’t have an opportunity to score and justified his bad moment.
“I have to work, forget everything and regain my self-confidence. The gates will come in time, we will keep rowing,” he told the media.
Raúl Ruidíaz was frustrated by Universitario’s defeat
The classic between Universitario and Alianza Lima was watched by several fans around the world. One of them was Raúl Ruidíaz, who made his debut in professional football wearing the cream shirt.
The current Seattle Sounders player followed the game closely at the Monumental and posted a message on his social media after the final whistle, expressing his anger at the result.
“Keep making the balls ***, nothing more”, wrote Raúl Ruidíaz accompanied by the video of the celebration of the intimate at the end of the meeting.
