Paolo Guerrero was recruited from the Liga de Quito to give him that jump in quality that the club’s attack needs. This week, he once again showed why he was signed and scored a double in the Copa Sudamericana semi-final against Defensa y Justicia to seal the long-awaited final.

The striker is having a big moment, no doubt, unlike his time at Racing. During his time in Argentine football, the 39-year-old footballer failed to show what kind of goalscorer he is and left a few months after joining the team led by Fernando Gago.

However, the strategist remains aware of the proceedings Predator and at the press conference, before the Avellaneda Classic against Independiente, he referred to the Peruvian’s current situation in response to a question from the Albiceleste media.

“I am very happy for Paolo, the truth is that it makes me very happy, I think he scored two goals,” said the former Argentine soccer player.

However, the coach did not want to talk about the forward because he is no longer part of the team he commands.

I was very happy for him, but I can’t talk about a player who is not in the institution today, said the coach of the Avellaneda team.

Guerrero joined Racing in January of this year, and just six months later he left the club and was relegated to Liga. The change of team meant leaving his connection with the Academy, which had high expectations of the gunner in its ranks. (D)
