Why did Lucas Menossi train at Matute?
The reason Menossi trained at the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium was because the small club made its facilities available for this purpose Catholic University of Chile, the Argentine's new team. As you will remember, the crossed team was at the Tarde Celeste and was defeated by Sporting Cristal, but now they have to face Alianza at the Tarde Blanquiazul in Trujillo.
