Peruvian team arrived at a hotel in Montevideo and received a tremendous ovation from the fans | VIDEO

The Peruvian team is already installed at the concentration hotel in Montevideo with a view to this Thursday’s game (6:30 pm) against Uruguay, for the 17th day of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. The delegation, led by Ricardo Gareca, arrived Tuesday night, after a trip of approximately five hours.

The arrival of the ‘Blanquirroja’ generated a lot of expectation in the Peruvian fans. Proof of this is the impressive reception given by dozens of people to the group of athletes outside the place where they will stay for the next two days.

One by one the players and other members of the Peruvian team got off the bus and those present reacted with words of encouragement. As expected, Gianluca Lapadula was the footballer most acclaimed by the fans.

Peru vs. Uruguay: Peruvians in chapel

Let’s start from back to front. In the first place, Pedro Gallese, one of the figures and the current captain of the ‘Blanquirroja’, is one yellow card away from being left out of the duel against Paraguay. In defense, central defenders Carlos Zambrano and Alexander Callens are also in the chapel. On the right side, Luis Advíncula is in the same situation.

In the first line of midfielders, Yoshimar Yotún and Renato Tapia, regular starters in the middle of the field, also one reprimand away from being suspended for a match. Christofer Gonzáles and Wilder Cartagena, in the same way, are conditioned and will have to be cautious when facing the Uruguayans to have the fewest casualties for the match with Paraguay.

It is necessary to mention that, as long as Chile does not beat Brazil, Peru needs three points out of the six at stake to secure at least the fifth place that would allow them to play the playoffs. As Ricardo Gareca already said, the Peruvian team depends on itself.
