Diego Rebagliati has put Jeriel de Santis’ conditions up for debate at the expense of Diego Dorregaray in the latest broadcast of the Movistar Deportes program ‘After Everything’. The topic came as a result of the last conquest of the Argentine ‘9’ in the 6-0 win over Comerciantes Unidos, at the Monumental stadium, for the 13th day of Apertura 2024.
The experienced journalist recognized the existence of attackers who are going through a delicate moment in terms of scoring production and offensive presence. In that section, De Santis and Dorregaray come to light, but the latter has a caveat that cannot be omitted in Diego’s opinion.

“You can argue with Dorregaray about something, but Dorregaray’s aerial game is strong, he is a player who has a head start. Eventually I’m losing, I need someone to head, Dorregaray is the forward,” Rebagliati argued at the table while his teammates listened attentively to the beginning of the observation.
“Surely the ‘U’ fan was expecting a forward with much more virtues, but you find him and give him that,” added Diego to give way to a harsh comparison with Jeriel: “In this case, what is the great virtue of De Santis as a forward? What is it about De Santis that makes one say ‘I hold on to this to continue giving him credit?’

In a brief intervention, panelist Horacio Zimmermann wondered what sparked the interest of the Sports Management of Alianza Lima to sign Jeriel. “If he had arrived on loan or for free, there would not be much discussion about the decision to bring in a striker, because they had Pablo Sabbag injured. But the discussion encompasses a criticism: it was not the time,” he explained.
Regarding the designation of his ownership or alternative, he continued: “The opportunity given to De Santis is not given to players, for example, like Guzmán. Today he came in, but how many minutes has De Santis played and how many Guzmán. And why one yes and another no. There are a lot of factors to analyze. The only thing I dispute is that Alianza Lima, over time, gives less and less chance to those from below.”

The most traditional clubs in Peru decided to reinforce their forward line to face the 2024 season. Thus, Universitario de Deportes went to the European market to acquire the services of Diego Dorregaray, who in his last steps stood out as a scorer in the highest category of Cyprus, after a commendable stage in Ecuador’s LigaPro.
Once installed in Ate, he enjoyed the full support of Fabián Bustos’ technical command. In fact, he started commanding the ‘U’ lead, but as the days progressed he lost territory due to his low productivity. Even so, he has been able to celebrate five goals this year, although a good part of them have come from the penalty spot.

Alianza Lima experienced a similar story with the difference that they had to inspect the European window as a result of an unexpected injury to Pablo Sabbag. In such a way that the sports management undertook the hiring of Jeriel de Santis from Boavista of the Primeira Liga of Portugal.
To this day the signing is not seen as profitable, since it has exhibited a very poor level from all aspects, with the definition being its weakest point. Beyond that deficiency, Alejandro Restrepo’s technical command continues to bet on him until he recovers the ‘Sheikh’.
