The head coach of Alianza Lima took a drastic measure after the team’s loss to Cerro Porteño in the Copa Libertadores. Alejandro Restrepo surprised fans by choosing not to speak to the media following the defeat.
Cerro Porteño secured their first victory in Group A of the 2024 Copa Libertadores with a last-minute goal from Federico Carrizo. The defeat left the Alianza Lima delegation feeling disheartened as they returned to Lima immediately after the match.
Defender Carlos Zambrano expressed determination to bounce back and qualify for the tournament, in stark contrast to Coach Restrepo’s decision to remain silent in the aftermath of the loss.
Forward Hernan Barcos also refrained from making any statements to the press upon the team’s return to Lima. Alianza Lima will now focus on preparing for their upcoming match against Atlético Grau on April 14th in the 2024 Apertura Tournament.
