After a first half of the year with a negative balance – it did not win the Apertura Tournament and said goodbye to the Copa Libertadores in the group stage -, Alianza Lima set its sights on winning the Clausura and, of course, the national title of Liga 1 2024 In the midst of this context, those led by Alejandro Restrepo returned to training since last Monday the 17th and have the challenge of reaching the international quadrangular that they will have against Atlético Nacional, Bolívar and Sporting Cristal. Now, the board is also considering expanding the squad of the Victorian first team and there will be news soon.
Always with the approval of Alejandro Restrepo, who uses the 3-5-2 system, the sports management of the intimate club has on the agenda the arrival of Jared Ulloa, who works as a right winger. The 22-year-old Peruvian striker had a stint in Canadian soccer.
Jared Ulloa, a native of Piura, was in Valor FC on two occasions. The first was in 2021 and he arrived on loan from Sporting Cristal (later, he arrived at Cusco FC and achieved promotion). His second stage in Canada took place in 2023 and on September 8 of that year he scored his first goal: it was against York United FC. Likewise, the footballer signed for Unión Huaral this year, but was released after the license problem that occurred with the club in League 2.
Currently, the attacker has been training – for a month – with the reserve and this Wednesday, if there is no problem, he will sign a contract with the institution. The plan is for him to play in the reserve and then join the first team. “He is a young player, who still has a good margin to progress. He is dynamic, deceptive, can threaten with the ball but also attacks space quickly. He needs to grow in the final third, but when he separates himself, he will score a ball and try to create something,” said Philip Dos Santos, his former coach at Valor FC.
Alianza Lima training
As part of its preparation to face the last stage of the year, Alianza Lima trains in Cieneguilla. Last Sunday, the team stayed at the Campo y Leña hotel to start the week with two work shifts at the La Finka complex. According to information obtained by Depor, Alejandro Restrepo closely followed the definition work of all the forwards – Cecilio Waterman made a difference -, while the rest of the players trained with the other professionals of the technical command.
It should be noted that Gabriel Costa is not in the preseason with the squad (check his latest statements). The coach does not have him in his plans and in the coming days his future will be defined (his contract with the blue and white is until the end of the year). ‘Gabi’ joined the squad last season and, since then, scored six goals in 41 games both nationally and internationally.
