Alexi Gomez, now 29 years old, was a hurricane of talent that ended up being swept away by a whirlwind of ampays and off-sports situations. A prodigious deployment left back who also had a playful and mischievous approach. A diamond in the rough that did not find anyone who can polish it to consolidate itself in the clubs where it passed, such as University of Sports y Lima Alliancenor in the peruvian national team.
Alexi Gómez became one of the Peruvian soccer players with the greatest projection following his participation in the Sudamericano Sub 20 in 2013. That year he arrived at Universitario de Deportes following his good performances in León de Huánuco. There he would spend two seasons and then emigrate to Sweden’s Brommapojkarna in 2015.
The missed opportunities
In cream store, however, the controversy already accompanies it. In his first season he was once “erased” in a preview for being late for a training session and even debuted in the ampays of a TV program when he was caught leaving a nightclub with several girls and with another soccer player.
He also starred in a scandal in the Ate club for allegedly making a woman enter the concentration hotel, when Óscar Ibáñez was already directing, who separated him from the team. The issue ended in legal action and even a 60% reduction in his salary.
His time in Sweden was brief. He would then arrive at San Luis de Quillota in Chile, where his DT would lower his finger for non-sports issues. “It is a serious offense, the fact of coming to a training session with an alcoholic breath, even more so, following having lost the Santiago Wanderers game hours before. It is a fault towards the institution, towards the teammates and the coaching staff”, DT Miguel Ramírez said in 2015 regarding Alexi Gómez.
In 2018 he arrived at the Atlas of Mexico but a video of him playing a pichanga before a transcendental meeting made him lose his finger. He would then go through the MLS and Argentina without luck, until 2019 when he would return to Peru, this time to Melgar.
your last chance
Without a performance that justifies the signing, in 2020 he would arrive as one of the great tails of Alianza Lima, a club where he would add ampay following ampay in the midst of a pandemic, being part of the intimate club’s sports decline and then ending his bond.
After his failure in Lima Alliance and already with the doors closed in Universitario de Deportes and the Peruvian national team, the winger landed in UTC de Cajamarca in 2021, where he scored 2 goals in 20 games. This 2022, already far from the orbit of the main clubs and totally discarded from the white and red, Alexi Gómez played for Deportivo Llacuabamba, with whom he played the Second (League 2), a club with which he was tenth and might not achieve promotion .
