With this in mind, the Argentine full-back revealed details of his contract with the club ‘sky blue’ and its adaptation to altitude.
“My contract? It’s for this season, for now. That’s where they will evaluate, because it’s obvious that someone who hires the player can’t give him a long-term contract without first getting to know him, seeing him, knowing him day in and day out and knowing what he’s like as a person and as a teammate. One year contract with option to extend? Yes“were his first words in ‘Exitosa Deportes’.
The Argentine defender’s move to the team ‘rimense’ was completed after the liberation Chacarita Juniors. The footballer emphasized that the free agent status made the agreement easier and accelerated the negotiations between his entourage and the Peruvian club. In addition, he mentioned that there were discussions between his representative and Sebastián Gálvez, the scout of Sporty Cristalsince last year, although the operation ultimately took place in this transfer market.
Asked about his playing style, Juan Cruz Gonzalez He defined himself as a self-sacrificing and supportive player of the team. “I am a player who sacrifices a lot for his teammates and the team and runs a lot on the wing.

Of course, he emphasized that his training in Argentine football has allowed him to strengthen his defensive team, although his natural tendency is to emphasize offensive performance. “In Argentina, of course, they always value scoring, which I’ve improved a lot because I’m a player who attacks a lot.I like to go into the opposition area, shoot from mid-range, cross and team up with my fellow midfielders and wingers. “I am a player who really enjoys playing and being in constant contact with the ball,” he explained, adding that he is not afraid of a 1-on-1 duel.
The experience of Juan Cruz Gonzalez at the peak of Ecuador was positive and exceeded its own expectations. In Aucasplayed in stadiums between 2,400 and 2,600 meters above sea level”I even surprised myself because I was able to adapt quite quickly. Since I had never played at altitude before, it was my first experience abroad and even more so at altitude,” he said.
The Argentine surprised with a statement about his adaptation to the altitude, considering that League 1 It has several seats above sea level. “I felt very good, very comfortable. That showed because I played in the starting lineup all year long. That’s why it’s misinterpreted or it’s wrong, but.” For me it was very easy to play in Ecuador because Argentine football is very hard, there is a lot of friction, you have to constantly run and the pressure is a lot.. When I had to play outside, I realized that I had a lot of space and the rivals didn’t apply pressure like they do in Argentina. I think that worked in my favor a little bit too because I was used to making very quick decisions, but this gives you more time to make that decision and allows you to make better decisions,” he explained.
Before joining Sporty Cristal, Juan Cruz Gonzalez He looked for references on campus. The 29-year-old footballer had a dialogue with Santiago González to find out more about the institution and the surrounding area. “I talked a little with ‘Santi’ González, an Argentinian.
