What did Horacio Zimmermann say about the continuity of Hernán Barcos?
“Among the information I have is that they seem to want one of the two and not both (regarding Santiago Giordana de Garcilaso). And the other information I have is that the continuity of Barcos depends heavily on its nationalization as… “Peruvian. Hernán was a very important player for Alianza, but the leap in quality in an international tournament was probably not there, as it obviously was in the first division,” he said in “Al Angle”.
Zimmermann also highlighted the quality of the experienced Argentine striker and how relevant he has been in the last three years since his arrival.
“Alianza Lima’s best player in the last three years in the local tournament is Hernán Barcos. I believe that if Barcos does not get Peruvian citizenship (despite the fact that there are 6 places for foreigners), it will be very difficult for him to continue. ” he added.
