Martín Liberman: “Santiago Ormeño was not up to the task, Alex Valera did better”

The peruvian national team had a very complicated match against Ecuador at the National Stadium on date 16 of the Qualifying for Qatar 2022. The visitors were ahead on the scoreboard at the minute of the game, and due to the low generation of scoring chances, Ricardo Gareca was forced to make changes.

In the second half they entered Christofer Gonzales, Edison Flores and Alex Valera. With the substitutions, Peru found more space, which led to them scoring the tie with a goal from ‘Orejas’, after a cross from Luis Advíncula.

The action prior to the goal had an important intervention by Alex Valera. The forward of Universitario de Deportes went to dispute a ball twice, which ended with Edison’s goal. The journalist Marín Liberman highlighted the work of the Peruvian striker.

“Santiago Ormeno was not up to the match, Valera did better. Ricardo Gareca opted for Ormeño because he believed he was capable. In the second half, the coach of the Peruvian team corrected “.

“Ecuador was better throughout the match, they suffered with the absence of Christian Cueva, they had no control, they had no pass between the lines, they also missed Gianluca Lapadula”added the driver on his YouTube channel.

With 21 points, the Peruvian team is in the playoff spot. The next matches of the Blanquirroja will be against Uruguay in Montevideo and against Paraguay in Lima, on March 24 and 29. All the matches of the last date will be played simultaneously.
