“Unfortunately, Piero (Quispe) was ruled out. In 99.9%, ‘Tito (Urruti) was also left out. The next game is the most important of the year. Nothing outside pressures me more than my own pressure that the team is getting better and better and even knowing that we have a brave rival in front of us. I said this from the beginning when the key was drawn, that we had three very tough rivals, but that Universitario is going to be tough for anyone as well and I continue to maintain that,” the DT commented at a press conference.
