César Vallejo defeated Sporting Cristal last Friday in the city of Trujillo in a match corresponding to date 9 of Liga 1 Betsson. The goals of the ‘poeta’ cast were from: Yorleys Mena and Beto Da Silva, who guided their team to get the three points, despite the fact that they ended the match with two casualties resulting from the expulsions of Mena and Renzo Gárces.
Infobae called Cesar Vallejo’s goalkeeper, Carlos Grados, to give us his opinion after achieving this important triumph that places him in sixth place with 14 points, six units behind the leader Deportivo Municipal.
“I think that the key to getting the game forward, given the circumstances of the expulsions, was the sacrifice of my teammates and how well we were able to defend and neutralize their attacks and attacks from their flyers that always reached the area. We became very compact and strong above,” Carlos Grados told Infobae exclusively.
In turn, we asked Carlos Grados about the indications of Professor José Del Solar before and at halftime of the match against Sporting Cristal. ‘Chemo’ spoke to us very clearly, he told us that we could not lose this match because, if those from above did not distance us, very apart from the fact that cristal messed with everyone and when they do that it is difficult to knock them down later. He told us to be as compact as we can, that we are going to have for the spaces they will leave, counterattacks and there we will end the match,” added César Vallejo’s goalkeeper to this media outlet.
Grados confessed that the elimination against Olimpia by Stage 1 of the Copa Libertadores affected Cesar Vallejo’s performance in Liga 1 a little. “Although it is true, we were shocked by the elimination of the Copa Libertadores and we had a hard time getting out of that moment. We already left it behind and we are very excited to be able to champion and be able to make a great tournament. That this match God forbid, was the push we needed to realize the quality of players we have and that with conviction we can achieve what we want. Anyway, it’s time for a champion to come out in Trujillo,” said Cesar Vallejo’s goalkeeper.
However, Carlos Grados spoke about the continuity that he has been having in César Vallejo. “Thank God I am having what I so longed for continuity to be, I have been going through a very happy time in my life and I think that also influences my sports performance. I hope to continue this way until the end and contribute my grain of sand to the most important thing that is to be able to continue adding 3 to be able to win phase 1,” he added.
Finally, the goalkeeper from Vallejo spoke of the next rival Melgar, where they will meet in Arequipa and said the following: “Melgar for me together with cristal are the best teams in recent years, they are always fighting the title and achieving international feats. On this side only continue to wish them the best in their international cups. We have to face a tough rival, who is strong at home and with his speed of his players. It’s going to be a nice match that I’m sure, the fans will be able to appreciate. We will go for the 3 points faithful to our way and way of playing football,” Carlos Grados told Infobae.
