Paolo Guerrero said Alianza Lima need points when they visit ADT in Tarma on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, and made clear the team is treating the trip as a demanding test. The match for date 10 of the Apertura is set for 3:15 p.m. at Estadio Unión Tarma.
“Necesitamos sumar, eso es lo que necesitamos. Se viene un partido duro, sabemos que la altura influye bastante pero estamos preparados para el partido,” Guerrero said before the game. He added that the team must push for a positive result and that the only goal is to win.
The forward, one of Alianza Lima’s main attacking options this season, has played 10 matches between Liga 1 and Copa and scored three goals. Those numbers give him weight in a squad that will lean on his experience in a setting that has gone badly for the club in recent seasons.
That history matters because Tarma has been a difficult stop for Alianza Lima, and the source points to the altitude as one more layer of pressure on the visitors. In that context, Guerrero’s message was less about style than survival: the club needs to add points now, and this away match offers little margin for error.
The friction is clear in the task itself. Alianza Lima are going into a venue where they have struggled, against an ADT side that knows the conditions, with Guerrero saying the team is prepared but also framing the contest as a real challenge. If Alianza Lima take anything from Tarma, it will say as much about their response to pressure as about the scoreline.
