Jairo Concha was chosen the figure of the 10th date of the 2022 League 1 Apertura Tournament

Jairo Concha shone again with Alianza Lima and just did so in the first classic of 2022. The 'intimate' midfielder was sent with a double (in the 4-1 rout) and a spectacular game at the Monumental stadium, enough to be chosen as the figure of the match in the afternoon that Sunday and now the best of the 10th date of the League 1 2022 Apertura Tournament.

“The man of the day! Author of two goals and one assist in the Peruvian football classic, Jairo Concha from Alianza Lima was elected Player of Date 10 of the Liga 1 Apertura Congratulations!” , wrote the organization of the championship on his social networks, showing a photo of the footballer with the well-known trophy that is being handed out week by week.

The footballer scored his first two goals and provided his first assist of the season at one of the most critical moments of the 'blue and white' team and on an afternoon that will remain to be remembered. The first goal was put with a flush shot from the left to the front post, which silenced the colossus of Ate for seconds. Then, after a check in the area, he took a shot above the goal of José Carvallo, who could do little, to put the second.

Until the match with the 'creams', the fans of Alianza Lima pushed for changes in the team, even asking for the departure of some players and strategist Carlos Bustos. Former San Martín was one of the most criticized for his little offensive contribution.

Jairo Concha has 11 matches in the season so far between Liga 1 and Copa Libertadores 2022. He received a red one in the match against Carlos A. Mannucci and that prevented him from being in all the matches of this season. Their debt, like the whole team, is still in the international tournament, where they lost their matches to River Plate and Colo-Colo.

JAIRO CONCHA AND THE PERUVIAN NATIONAL TEAM

Jairo Concha is in Ricardo Gareca's universe. The 'Tigre' is already considering it and summoned him for the first time to the Peruvian national team in early 2022. The steering wheel was awarded for its excellent 2021, where he won with Alianza Lima, and he started the season with a call to the 'white-red', who was going to face the Jamaican and Panama teams in preparation for the South American Qualifiers. Now the steering wheel awaits a new call.

LAVALLE REFERRED TO HIS GOOD TIME

In a recent interview, Orlando Lavalle, a former technician from Universidad San Martín who spent several games leading him, spoke about Jairo Concha's good time and the good decision to come to Alianza Lima to continue improving his football.

“He was comfortable in San Martín and needed a higher demand and in Alianza he found a positive environment. Having next to hierarchy people like Barcos, Farfan, Ramos and foreigners was good for him, that will make him grow . In San Martín they were all boys, there were almost no references, Alianza is something else,” Lavalle said in an interview for the Trome newspaper.

However, he also pointed out what the 22-year-old wheel has yet to improve. “Put a little more because there is plenty of quality. Let it not be strange that one day they call him cold chest, but they are wrong because he feels football differently. He has self-love and when he has to get into it he commits, “he declared.
