Evidence of this is the official return of Alex Valera to the club, although the striker left Ate not on the best of terms. As we recall, the player assured that when he decided to get his first experience abroad, nobody from the club said goodbye to him.
Valera signed for him Al-Fateh from Saudi Arabia but things didn’t go as expected and he returned to the ‘U’, assuring that there had been a misunderstanding when he left the cream team last season, for which he apologized. “I am very grateful to Manuel Barreto for managing to be able to return to the club. Unfortunately, last year didn’t go as expected, maybe it was mismanagement and I apologize to the club and the fans. I come here to work, play, win my position and do my best for the club,” Valera told a press conference.
Then the national striker added: “For me, the club will always be first, the club second and the club third. I only come here to play, to work… and I don’t want photos or videos or calculations, all I want is to work and do my best for the club.”
The one who also spoke at the conference was the cream sports director, Manuel Barretowho backed Valera who signed with the club for two seasons.
“We drive through the club. We know what Alex can offer the club and it is a new opportunity that life is offering him to do what he loves most which is to play football. The most important thing is that we unite and pursue the same goal together,” he stressed.
He also confirmed that the striker will travel to Chile with the squad.

Sepúlveda does not work
Bruno Sepúlveda, an Argentine striker who was recently part of Estudiantes de Río Cuarto, has been expelled from the Universitario by Barreto. “Bruno Sepúlveda will not be a Universitario player, at least in this market. Upon completion of the transaction Alex (Valera), the foreign quota would not go to a striker,” said the manager. That quota can be used at another position but not at Roberto Siucho, who is training with the squad while waiting to regain his Peruvian citizenship.
“A lot will depend on the talks with the technical command, on what he sees every day in training and also on this tour. A lot will depend on that,” Barreto said after clarifying the goals.
“The commitment of the ‘U’ is always to win every game they play, so squads are formed on that basis. We are all aware of that,” he concluded.
