Hernan boats He is one of the most important players in Alliance of Lima in the past few years. Since arriving in Peru, the Argentine striker has won fans’ hearts for how fundamental he was in helping the Blue and White team win the double championship and his professional ethics. The “Pirate” not only stands out for his performance in every game, but also for the help he always shows to the Alianza women’s team. The experienced player attended the presentation of the book “We Will Return to Victory: The Book of the Blue and White Fans” at the El Virrey Bookstore and once gave an emotional speech in which he compared women’s football to men’s football.
The “pirate” emphasized the existing salary differences and emphasized the courage with which the footballers play. “They really play with their hearts, they play with passion and they give their lives. We have an absurd salary compared to women’s football and we complain. We have the nerve to say that we lack Gatorade and women’s football is completely different.” he told panellists at the book launch.
The forward also took advantage of highlighting the work of the Alianza Lima women’s team. “They play because they feel it, because they love it. They train on synthetics every day, they must have iron knees. We’ve trained twice on synthetics and we’re complaining,” he said.
The event was attended by political scientist and football historian José Carlos Rojas Medrano, journalist Lorena Álvarez, sociologist Enrique Fernández Maldonado, Hernán Barcos and Sandy Dorador, who formed the commentary panel.
