As is known, Alianza Lima plan to play under a 3–5–2 scheme next season, although this is not the only system they operate under, but it is the coach’s favorite and the one on which the team has been assembled. Therefore, although Garcés, a central defender with a right profile, was used as a libero in Restrepo’s scheme, a position that he knows how to use during his time Cesar Vallejo University. As you remember, in the ‘Poet’ team he alternated as both libero and stopper on the left; However, for Restrepo it is his position in the center of the line of three that gives him the most confidence.

Another case that draws the most attention is that of Ricardo Lagos, who has usually been Alianza’s undisputed left back. However, it is worth remembering that, when Carlos Bustos used a defensive line of five in 2021, Trujillo’s man served as a left winger, but, since the team’s tasks were more defensive, he These actions were done more than attacking.

However, it is known that the Colombian is looking for a quite aggressive, intense and physical team and from that point of view, a left winger who has a lot of outlet is preferred, such as in the case of Jamir D’Arrigo or Catriel Ceballos. . Although Lagos has also been used in this position, he has also been used as a left inside midfielder in some training sessions. In this position, the 27-year-old footballer can take advantage of his technique and long passes in search of a more vertical attacking game.

This place in the countryside is not entirely unknown to ‘Ritchie’, as during his time Carlos A Mannucci He worked in this field before arriving at the La Victoria team. Precisely, since his arrival in Matute, that is, in the last three seasons, Lagos has been a left back. Now Restrepo is making better use of the middle of the field due to his excellent technique, marking experience and long ball prowess. Thus, everything indicates that in 2024 he will be seen in a new aspect with Groans’ ‘Mica’.

Other names that have been coming in rotation The playmaker or second striker position is occupied by Kevin Serna. As we remember, the Colombian attacker has emerged as a right winger and, although everything indicates that he could be a right winger in Restrepo’s scheme, he is expected to be used as a footballer with the ‘9’. It has started, whether it is Pablo Sabbagh or Hernán Barcos. Pace is one of the Colombian’s attributes and with more centers in the field, he could give him more threat in the Alliance attack. Of course, it is clear that his excellent performances will allow the coach to use him as a winger as well.

Brian Reyna is in a similar position, usually a winger, but has also been used as a second striker due to his imbalance and pace. Unlike Serna, Reyna has more imbalance in his one-on-one dribbling. Now, the footballer’s future is not completely locked in store in blue and white, as there are surveys from teams abroad. There is interest in the attacker and the board is waiting for formal proposals to analyze them. Regarding Restrepo’s decision to look for new positions for players, it is clear that the biggest beneficiary will be the team.Joe is getting more options in different areas of the team in the quest for the 2024 Betsson Ligue 1 title and a great campaign in the Copa Libertadores.
