There is no doubt that facing rivals like Germany and Morocco It will be very helpful for the next Qualifiers. Although the result was not as expected against the ‘Mannschaft’, the ‘Bicolor’ was able to salvage a valuable draw (0-0) against the ‘Leones de Atlas’, a rival they faced this Tuesday at Civitas de Metropolitano, in Madrid. As it is remembered, those directed by Walid Regragui come from giving the surprise in the last World Cup, in which they occupied fourth place. Thus, Juan Reynoso He highlighted this last result and highlighted the work of his managers. Also, he spoke about Pedro Gallesewho started as a starter, despite the fact that he spent Tuesday night in a tax police station, after being denounced for allegedly having beaten a Spanish police officer.
“It is a team that if it is going to complicate you, it is against and with spaces. That’s why we tried to play with two full-backs on the outside and thus avoid being played 2 against 1. It was difficult for us at times in the first half, especially since it’s not Marcos López’s position. The illusion was to close the game with one more point, but with the issue of the expulsion (of Carlos Zambrano) it was no longer possible.”, were the first words of the ‘Chess player’ at a press conference.
In the same way, he highlighted the level that his team showed before the African team: “If we interpret and understand where the rival hurts us, we will have the plus. Today, despite the six changes and with the few days of work, we understand that the boys in the tactical culture are receptive. I said it on Saturday, the videos will help us a lot and, if we maintain this rhythm, we will compete in South America”.
“We played against one of the rivals who ran the most in the past World Cup. It is an elite team. Historically we have never been a team that prioritizes the physical, so we have to make things up with the ball and reading. According to the rival, we must try to take it to the place where they will not hurt us”, he added.
Asked about the universe of players, Juan Reynoso He indicated that he hopes to continue adding new names. “The commitment of our players is non-negotiable. Two starters (Cueva and Callens) who played in the last qualifiers have not come, but we will always prioritize the present of the boys. I think that for our team, it has always been a taboo, that 21 players play on two FIFA dates. Mostly, you did not reach 15. Today we have reached 21. The number will gradually grow, since in football they are all processes”
The praise of Juan Reynoso to Pedro Gallese
Hours away from being measured against Morocco, the fans of the Peruvian team held a flag on the outskirts of the concentration hotel. Although with the passing of the minutes a party was lived, it was overshadowed after an altercation between the ‘Bicolor’ players and the police who guarded the venue. After that, Pedro Gallese He was denounced by a police officer, which is why he was taken to a tax station where he gave statements in the early hours of the morning. In relation to this, the ‘Bicolor’ coach praised the goalkeeper, highlighting his commitment to the team.
“Life is that, life is full of details and unforeseen events, and yesterday was an unforeseen event that no one expected. Pedro had the category of showing his face, giving his version and not sleeping well. That speaks well of us as Peruvian citizens. Today Pedro gave us a class on how problems are left out. On the court, if one is aware of what to do, today he solved it as if he had slept 12 hours”, he sentenced.
