Blooming is the rival chosen by Alianza Lima to hold an interesting warm-up in the middle of the FIFA national team break. The match will be this Wednesday, March 20, at the Alejandro Villanueva stadium with all the ‘blue and white’ fans located in the four stands.
It should be noted that it will be the first time in 2024 that the Alliance delegation will step onto the Matute field, after the incidents that occurred in last year’s national final, when it fell to Universitario de Deportes.
As it was a friendly duel against Blooming, coach Alejandro Restrepo and his assistants organized all the details for the team to return to La Victoria and reunite its fans, with the aim of receiving absolute support for the next resumption of the Apertura 2024 .

And Alianza Lima is not having a good time in the Peruvian championship by concatenating three consecutive defeats (ADT 2-0 / Sporting Cristal 1-2 / Cienciano 2-1) that put the continuity of the Restrepo CT at risk.
However, both the footballers and the main heads at the management level decided to give one last credit to the Colombian strategist so that he can get on the path as soon as possible. Thus, the possible turning point could occur in the friendly confrontation against Blooming.
“It’s a tough moment, we know where we are. We have worked with humility, with professionalism,” acknowledged technical director Alejandro Restrepo, who will race against the clock to detect sporting problems before the resumption of the 2024 Apertura Tournament and the start of the 2024 Conmebol Libertadores.

The Alliance squad will not be able to count on several relevant footballers for the match against the ‘academy’. In principle, striker Pablo Sabbag and defenders Yordi Vílchez and Ricardo Lagos are ruled out due to serious injuries that have reduced their fitness.
Nor can the Panamanians Jiovanny Ramos and Cecilio Waterman, required by Alejandro Restrepo throughout the current season, be considered for having been called by their national team to play the semifinals against Mexico of the CONCACAF Nations League.
Finally, the youth players Bassco Soyer and Víctor Guzmán will be absent from Alianza Lima after being called to train at the National Sports Village by the U20 of Peru. In such a way that the technical command of the ‘intimates’ will have to use some elements from the quarries to form the official lineup that will be presented against the people of La Paz.
