One of the great attractions of the arrival of Paolo Guerrero to League 1 2024 were the confrontations he will have with his team, Universidad César Vallejo, against Alianza Lima, a team of which he is a fan, and Universitario de Deportes, a classic rival of the ‘blue and white’ ‘. The closest duel is against the ‘creams’, since they will meet on date 9 of the 2024 Apertura Tournament. On Tuesday, March 12, the Professional Football League (LFP) made the scheduling of this great game official.
The Universitario de Deportes vs Universidad César Vallejo will take place after the friendlies of the Peruvian team against Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, to which the ‘Predator’ was summoned, in addition to six players from the ‘U’. For this momentous League 1 2024 match we will have to wait until Saturday, March 30, when they will be measured from 8:00 p.m. local time. On this occasion, UCV will be the host, so the sports venue chosen to host the contest will be the Mansiche stadium in Trujillo.

It should be noted that the team led by Fabián Bustos has six summoned for the FIFA date in March, being Diego Romero, Aldo Corzo, Andy Polo, José Rivera, Alex Valera and Edison Flores. In contrast, those commanded by Roberto Mosquera will give up, in addition to Guerrero Gonzáles, to Carlos Ascues. The athletes chosen by Jorge Fossati to represent the ‘blanquirroja’ will be released on Wednesday the 27th, so they will have three days to rejoin their teams and work on the clash between northerners and Lima. Both squads will arrive rested, since there will not be a break for the presentations of the national team.

At the end of his award-winning sports career and now at 40 years old, Paolo Guerrero was finally able to make his debut in local football. Therefore, he was never able to face Universitario officially or in a friendly manner, only in training categories when he played for Alianza Lima. Not even during his time at Corinthians, Flamengo, Internacional de Porto Alegre, Racing Club or LDU de Quito did he coincide with them in international competitions. Despite this, ‘PG9’ mentioned after his scoring debut in League 1 that he will see the clash with the ‘merengues’ as a classic.

“Of course I’m going to see the match against Universitario as a classic. I never faced them, only in minor divisions and, luckily, I always did well against them. And in Alianza we had a good team, with Jefferson Farfán and several others,” he commented in an interview with Liga 1 Max.
In his most recent participation with César Vallejo against Sport Boys in Callao, Paolo Guerrero left the field in the 78th minute quite feeling his right foot, after a strong tackle by Juan ‘Chengue’ Morales. ‘Paolín’ left his place on the field for Osnar Noronha.

Due to this physical ailment and the proximity to the team’s preparation games, Roberto Mosquera decided not to be part of the match against Alianza Atlético for the eighth round, so he will return against the ‘U’. He even traveled to Brazil once the defeat against the ‘rosés’ was completed. This will be his fourth appearance with the team from the ‘city of eternal spring’, after the ‘missilera’, Cusco FC and Sport Huancayo.
