Alianza Lima Leadership Questioned After Players’ Halloween Outing Fuels Discipline Row

Critics argue the club lacks enforceable codes as Universitario’s recent three‑peat team is cited as a model for internal rules.

Overview

  • Carlos Zambrano, Pablo Ceppelini and Kevin Quevedo were filmed at a Halloween concert hours after a 2-2 draw with Melgar, with the footage aired by TV show Amor & Fuego and reported by Libero.pe.
  • Eddie Fleischman criticized coach Néstor Gorosito and sporting director Franco Navarro, saying they “have not had the leadership” to enforce conduct standards at Alianza Lima.
  • Horacio Zimmermann contrasted Alianza’s situation with Universitario, saying the champions operate under a functioning internal code that reinforces a solid group culture.
  • Universitario defender Aldo Corzo said this season showed the “greatest lack of codes” of his career, condemning behaviors by players, ex-players and officials that he views as unethical.
  • Luis Advíncula said he does not personally know interim Peru coach Manuel Barreto but expects anyone appointed to add value, as Alianza prepares to visit Los Chankas with Eryc Castillo back and aiming to finish as Peru 2 for direct Copa Libertadores entry.
