What happened to Alejandro Duarte, why did he end up at Alajuelense and why hasn't he played for six months? | Peru Team | RMMD EMCC | Soccer-Peruvian

There was a back and forth in the industry Alejandro Duarte. In 2023, in the presentation competition Game Crystal Against Deportes Dolima, the goalkeeper suffered a broken collarbone that sidelined him earlier in the season, and Sky Blue goalie Renato Solis was rescued. From that point on, the goalkeeper was unable to regain possession and his appearances were sporadic. For this reason, in 2024 he decided to go to Alajuelas in Costa Rica. Peruvian National Team.

Alejandro Duarte, 30, has experience playing Mexican football for Lobos BUAP, Atlético Zacatepec and FC Juárez between 2018 and 2020, in addition, he had a short spell at Paraguay's Sportivo Luqueño before signing for Sporting Cristal in 2021. He quickly became a starter for the Light Blue team until last season, where an injury robbed him of scoring opportunities, so he was loaned out to Alajuelens. However, his current concern is that he has not played a single minute since his arrival in Costa Rica.

Alejandro Duarte has not played for six months

After his injury and losing his position with Renato Solís, Alejandro Duarte only played in 6 games in 2023. His last game was on 29 October in a 3–0 win against Alianza Atlético de Sullana.. Although he will start the 2024 season at Sporting Cristal, he was confirmed as the new signing on loan to Costa Rican Alajuela at the end of January. The goal for the goalkeeper should be more minutes on the pitch as he is unlikely to have the consistency needed to return to his best in the Sky Blue team.

However, Alejandro Duarte saw strong competition for Costa Rica's goal. Lionel Moreira has been Alajuelens' starting goalkeeper since 2020 and has been unmovable.. The experienced goalkeeper hasn't missed a game with the 'Rojinegros' in both the local league and the Concachamps, so the Peruvian goalkeeper hasn't had the chance to add more minutes.

“You're going to have to wait,” was the coach's message to Duarte

After crashing out in the round of 16 to the Concachampions, Alajuelense sacked coach Andrés Carevic and hired Alexandre Guimarães, known as Guima. Costa Rica is the new coach Alejandro Duarte spoke at a press conference about his present And he sent a message to be patient, but keep working hard so he's ready when the opportunity comes.

“I spoke to him to explain my way of working and what I had seen in his practice. He knows where he is. Goalkeepers know they have to train very hard to avoid mistakes and be ready when it's their turn. The player he wants to contribute will have to wait.”'Guima' he said.

Are there options for Alejandro Duarte in the Peruvian squad?

The goalkeeper is yet to make his debut for the Peruvian team, but he has been called up on several occasions. His first call-up by Ricardo Gareca came in March 2018 for friendlies against Croatia and Iceland as part of the build-up to the World Cup in Russia. With his last call-up for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Bolivia and Venezuela in November 2023, Juan Reynoso is still the coach of the 'Bacolor', although he is not regular with Sporting Cristal.

However, the arrival of Jorge Fossati has renewed hope that all footballers can be called up to the Peruvian team and Alejandro Duarte is hopeful that he will continue to be called up. Thus, He moved to Costa Rica to add minutes to that goal, but as he has yet to debut with Alajuelens, his call-up becomes more complicated.As the Uruguay coach promised, I am going to give priority to those who are regular in their clubs and stay in the competition.
