Christian Cueva is clear about the Peru-Uruguay controversy: “For us it was a goal”

Christian Cueva attended the media after Peru vs. Uruguay at the Montevideo stadium. The midfielder of the selection lamented the attitude of the referee during the development of the controversial action that could change the history of the commitment in Montevideo. According to the ’10’, the national players were left with the feeling that it was a goal for the Bicolor.

Likewise, despite the aforementioned scene, on the 10th of the Blanquirroja he stressed that Ricardo Gareca’s team still depends on itself to reach the qualification playoff for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. In this line, the attacker highlighted the collaboration of all the fans who accompanied Thursday night in the capital of Uruguay.

The party controversy

I saw it, no one is going to tell me. Talking about it is difficult because the players do not have the support that if you talk to the referee everything will be fine. They try to intimidate with a yellow or a red and that’s complicated. As much as we speak with all respect, they don’t listen to us and I don’t know why. This situation bothered a lot. But things will happen in the other game. For us it is a goal. It’s hard for players to talk about refereeing because we’re intimidated when they try to push us away or shut us up. We have one game left in which we have to win. We must forget this situation that no one will change.

The match analysis

Football is details. Who puts it is the one who wins. We weren’t lucky enough to finish, but I’m calm because of what the team showed because we wanted to play. These are finals, you have to win them, but today it didn’t happen. We depend on ourselves. They had effectiveness from a set piece. If we talk about the game, Peru showed more in a difficult stadium.

The change for Calcaterra

It was due to football issues. There was no physical discomfort. The teacher knows what is best for the team. We are all capable of playing and with the changes the team worked well.

Message to the fan

Thank you because they follow us at all times. They are an important part to achieve the goal. I am happy because they supported us from start to finish and I know that in Lima they will. With the blessing we will achieve the goal.
