Sporting Cristal took an important step by beating Cusco FC 1-0 at home in the second phase of the “Playoffs”. League 1 2025. And much of this achievement is thanks to the work of Paulo Autoriwho has found the necessary key to progress, not only in this game but also in the series against it Lima Alliance. In this sense, Reimond Manco praised the Brazilian coach and left a message for the club ‘intimate’.
“Autuori taught what a coach must have to create order, to impose his vision of the game, to organize a club, to organize a squad of players. For me, Autuori is very popular with this Sporting Cristal, which has basically the same players. Four reinforcements arrived: Vizeu, “Chaval”, Abram and Araujo. And Araujo was by far the best signing in the first division in the second half of the year,” he explained in “A La Cama Con El Rei”.
He ‘Rei’ He claimed that the arrivals of Luis Abram And Miguel Araujo They were enough to strengthen the team’s defensive performance. He emphasized that Autuori stood out for making clear decisions without hesitation, such as: B. foregoing seven players, giving opportunities only to those who performed better and not hesitating to replace important players – as was the case with him Santiago González in view of Lima Alliance– with the idea of the game and the collective interest of the team always in the foreground.
“When things are done well and there is a trainer who doesn’t allow you to fuck…that requires you to reach your fat level, that requires you to train, that requires using the best and not marrying anyone,” he specified.
Reimond Manco highlighted the ability Paulo Autori maintaining authority in all decisions, from direction to relationship with leadership: “This coach has it like that, he has the back, he has character, personality. These are the coaches that teams like Alianza, “U” and Cristal need. I have no complaints about the ‘U’, Fossati is impressive, even if I have differences with him because of his stubbornness, but in the ‘U’ everything went perfectly.”
The evaluation of Reimond Manco about the structure of Lima Alliance in direct contrast to the formula that Paulo Autori implemented in Sporty Cristal. “That didn’t happen in Alianza. Do you think Autuori allows that there is a Cristal player who is overweight or has excess fat? Do you think he shook hands to remove seven players, including Gianfranco Chávez, who grew up in the club, AGREF and with many titles in the club? This is the coaching profile that Alianza Lima needs today and I hope the board can achieve it,” he suggested.

One-handed He stressed that the results are not explained by the value of the squad or bombastic names, but by the coach’s leadership and ability to make clear decisions and adhere to clear criteria in the dressing room. That’s what he argued Sporty Cristal The company maintained its leadership structure, adding only four reinforcements and not changing its work environment, but the difference was evident in Autuori’s character. The coach made it clear that even in a young and small squad He didn’t hesitate to do without seven players or send figures like Yoshimar Yotún or goal scorer Irven Ávila to the bench when he felt it was necessary.which reinforces that the functioning of the club always takes precedence over individual interests.
“Why don’t we stop selling smoke in Alianza Lima? They talked to Pablo Guede, to so… They talk to all the trainers. I’m not screwed…!” Alianza needs a coach with balls like thatthat he doesn’t mind using Guerrero to replace a 15-year-old who plays better; If you have to take out seven players because they’re crazy or fat, you should take them out; Don’t let the Blue and White Fund come and force players on you; Be firm in your decisions. Alianza doesn’t need super reinforcements on the field, this year it had the best and most expensive squad in Peruvian football, but for what? (…). Alianza needs a great coach,” he concluded.
