Carlo Zambrano came to Alliance of Lima earlier this year. The Peruvian team’s defender arrived from Boca Juniors after winning five titles with Team Xeneize. He made his dream debut not only in the blue and white team, but also in Peruvian football with a 2-1 win against Universitario on February 19 at the Monumental Stadium. The “Kaiser” showed a remarkable performance, but was sent off in the last minute after a hard foul on Piero Quispe.
after this expulsion As the ‘León’ walked into the dressing rooms, he showed the Universitario fans with an upside down ‘U’, a fact that was criticized in the student shop and cream fans. After several months, the blue-and-white centre-back decided to comment on the controversial sign, pointing out that it was an accumulation of different things because the supporters of the ‘U’ not only insulted but spat.
“It’s the fever of the moment. ‘You know why I’m doing this?’ An accumulation of everything. I said, ‘We’re going to win the same,’ we felt like a good team to beat at home.” , he recently said in an interview on the streaming show “La fe del Cuto”.

The “Kaiser” started as a starter on his debut with the Victorians and in minute 97 he had the aforementioned match with midfielder Piero Quispe which resulted in his disqualification. Zambrano also conceded that the gesture was disrespectful and since it’s a match against classic rivals, anything usually happens.
“They drive everything away, I leave it alone and the fans move on (insulting). They want respect, but they don’t respect you either. I was calm, laughed internally and made that gesture (an inverted ‘U’). I know it is disrespectful but it’s the fever, it’s a classic and everything happens there,” he concluded.
