Gorosito on Alianza Lima: “Better if we go straight through” | OneFootball

Not only the teams involved are eagerly waiting to know the verdict on the violence in Independiente-Universidad de Chile last Wednesday for the Copa Sudamericana, but Alianza Lima is also added to them, who was already waiting in the quarters for the winner of the series that until the moment of the suspension in Avellaneda was favorable to the Chileans. Their coach, Néstor Gorosito, addressed the issue and admitted his hope for a direct ticket to the semis.

"We are uncertain. It becomes difficult due to the scheduling, due to the anxiety of studying the opponent even though we know both of them well, but to emphasize that match. We are uneasy about one passing and that it is played behind closed doors. The people of Alianza are not to blame for not being able to go, we have nothing to do with it," he told ESPN.

"We have to wait for the resolution, which has to be exemplary. I wouldn't know what would be best for South American football, but when you go to Brazil they hit people, it happened to us with San Pablo (with Tigre in 2012), it also happened recently to Godoy Cruz, it happens to everyone. It's difficult, it should be the same for everyone," he accused.

Still, for the interests of the Peruvian team, Pipo did not hesitate about his preference: "God willing, they put us directly into the semifinals. If we go directly to the semis, better. It would be very nice to say 'for me it would be nice to play', but I won't lie to you. Since we are here, Alianza Lima has made 20 and something million in revenue and prizes and it would be extraordinary for the club, not only from a sports point of view but also economically it would be very good for Alianza Lima".

"What the TV showed is what one can say happened. It's not right that the players and coaches pay for the violent ones, nor the clubs either. It's very difficult, everything is difficult. It's a social issue at the South American level, we are a problem. I don't play the philosopher because I'm a disaster, but the greater the passion, the less the education," he theorized.
