In the morning, quite early, the brand new FBC coach Melgar Mariano Sosohad breakfast with the players and was also able to give them their first presentation lecture.
The squad then moved to the Videfa de Characato, where Soso led a demanding training session that had the players literally “sweating to hell”. The appointment also served for sports coach Juan Manuel López to conduct a comprehensive physical examination of each footballer for his immediate empowerment.
After lunch, Mariano Soso and his technical command were presented to the Arequipa press in the club’s premises.
“It’s a big challenge for us to get Melgar out of a bad moment and play a good Copa Libertadores. We don’t have much time to work but we’ll do it as best we can to achieve our goals,” said Soso.
Elsewhere, he said that the club’s proposal reached him and that he valued it for the work the institution had done with minors and for having good campaigns locally and internationally. “There is a good project and I know that it will be respected. An important step is the construction of a high-performance center that will certainly benefit the club and Peruvian football,” he said.
Soso wants to give confidence and security to the group of players who have had a bad start to the year, with few official games and being penultimate by just one point due to the tie achieved at the weekend UTC of Cajamarca.
With this in mind, the club manager, Ricardo BettocchiHe argued that one must take into account that Melgar has only played one game at home and has two games to play precisely in Arequipa.
“We were looking for a good technical command to get out of the bad moment,” said the representative.
