Sports journalist and TV presenter Erick Osores spoke about the departure of Guillermo Salas as manager of Alianza Lima. This news was published last Sunday, July 23, after the confidants drew 0-0 against Universitario on matchday five of the final tournament of Liga 1 2023. “Chicho” went three games without a win and his release would become official in La Victoria in the next few hours. This decision by the intimate club was not well received by the communicator who questioned the alliance leadership.
During the airing of ESPN’s “Team F,” Osores began his speech by noting that the numbers supported “Chicho” Salas, and listed the Peruvian strategist’s sporting accomplishments. “Guillermo Salas’ departure cannot be supported on the basis of the numbers.” He also defended DT’s style of play, which brought success to the Victorians; At the same time, he reminded himself that every time Alianza Lima played well, it went badly.
“The ‘orange’ named Guillermo Salas gave good juice to Alianza Lima. Not the best taste, but they squeezed it out. In the blue and white fund, they know Salas isn’t what they want. They believe they have to change and it’s a respectable, cold and practical decision like Salas’ game, which they often didn’t like, but most of the time their team won,” said Erick Osores.
“When was the last time a coach let Alianza Lima play well? When was the last time Cristal, Universitario and Melgar played so well? Last time they brought a Mr. Salas named Mario, a Chilean who had just broken it in Cristal.
