“There is the idea of having a farewell in Peru with the people there and most of the players I’ve played with. See it and do it on a date where most players can be. That is the idea, because for me it is important to enjoy with the majority of players who have been in the national team or in Alianza or in Pesquero ”, he said.
Likewise, the former striker stated that this match could take place at the Alianza Lima stadium. “I still don’t know the stadium or anything, I would like it to be in Matute. He left her stinging there. Let’s see, we’ll analyze what happens.”
