Deportivo Garcilaso It was one of the pleasant surprises this year in the local tournament and it is without a doubt one of the protagonists of the league 1. In that sense if he wins his next game against Universitario this Friday at 19:30 at the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega , he will once again position himself in the first places of the tournament, as he did at the beginning.
A team with ambitions
The former Alianza Atlético de Sullana goalkeeper said Deportivo Garcilaso is a side that has set out to “achieve important things institutionally” this year. He also assured sportingly that they were “a very strong, offensive team”: “When we go on the pitch, we give 100 percent,” he said. That’s why we have only one goal in the duel against the ‘U’: to win this game.
‘Pedacito de Cielo’ goalkeeper Diego Penny spoke to this newspaper and referred to the four consecutive victories (3 in the local tournament and 1 in the Copa Sudamericana) achieved by the team currently led by Jorge Fossati.
“When they decided to change coaches, it appears they changed their chip as they were lucky enough to win the immediate games at both the Copa Sudamericana and the local tournament. They even beat Binacional here in Cusco at the last minute. It gives you a lot of confidence,” he said.
“It seems that the new coach would have made the big change, but I think the players are still the same. The ‘U’ is a team that has very respectable players, with hierarchy, quality. Sometimes you think that the changes are generated for extra motivation. Today they are calmer with Fossati,” he assured.
“Let’s Counter Them”
The ‘1’ of the Cusqueño team analyzed what it will be like to face off against the cream side as he recognizes the ‘U’ are a “dangerous team”. However, he explained: “We will counter anything they suggest because we are a team that generates a lot.”
On the other hand, the former goalkeeper of the Peru team indicated that he would not give Merengue’s team spaces to show their football as they are not able to “give anything away”. “We will put pressure on them from the start,” he said.
Diego Penny admits that Professor Roberto Tristán’s team had a chance to win in their last three games, which would put them a few notches up in the standings today: “Sometimes we’re not that strong at the back and that’s the reason for the last ones defeats took place”.
His facet in the Peruvian team
Trained in the lower divisions of Sporting Cristal, the goalkeeper has also defended the colors of the Bicolor in various processes and therefore knows exactly how important the preparatory games are for the qualification.
In this regard, the goalkeeper of “Garci” commented on the friendlies against Germany and Morocco.
“I’ve watched the two games and the team definitely needs to try certain systems because if you don’t do it now, when are you going to do it? Then we have the first date of the qualifiers against Paraguay and it will not be possible to propose systems that you have never proposed. I loved that Peru played at World Cup level with two teams,” he said.
“However, I didn’t like that we didn’t complete the goal because although you can defend, attacking power is important and I know Juan (Reynoso) has the capacity. I’ve known him for many years.” , he has enormous capacity.” added.
Commenting on the confrontation between the Spanish police and some Blanquirroja players ahead of the match against Morocco in Madrid:
“I spoke to Carvallo and he tells me that the police were upset with some fans who didn’t respect the police cordon. For this reason, when the bus arrives from Peru, the agents ask the football players not to leave, but we know that Peruvians are used to greeting people and it seems that they took this as an act of disobedience. In any case, what the Spanish police did was excessive.”
