Pedro Gallese to Mister Chip: “If I know the World Cup group, we have to be optimistic”

In less than two months, the Peruvian team will know if it will be in the Qatar 2022 World Cup. The day before, Pedro Gallese assured that he remains optimistic regarding the important challenge he will face with his teammates: intercontinental playoff against the winner of the cross between Australia and United Arab Emirates.

On this subject, the possible group of the Blanquirroja in the World Cup, the influence of Ricardo Gareca in the national team and the candidates to win the contest, Gallese spoke with Mister Chip. The talk took place this Monday in a broadcast from the journalist and statistician’s channel on the Twitch platform.

Repechage to Qatar 2022

We didn’t go to the World Cup for 36 years, so imagine the backpack we had. We qualified for Russia and now we try to qualify with a generation that always gives their best. We are waiting for the rival. Each of the teammates prepares in his club for this match. We have seen little of them, surely when they face each other, we will be attentive. We analyzed thoroughly after his game, Ricardo (Gareca) is a guy who is always on the lookout. The technical command reviews videos and is in all that.

Gareca in Peru

Ricardo came with new ideas, a new format. The players understood him very well, he is a guy who works a lot. Hand in hand with him we have been growing and now we are not the team that is not only there to play a role, but to get a place in the World Cup.

Possible group for Peru in Qatar 2022

Yes I know (the group in the World Cup), France and Denmark played. You have to be optimistic. The last World Cup dealt us heavy rivals. We were experiencing new things. We played well against Denmark, but they scored for us and managed the game. We would be more mature now, with the same players. With a World Cup and another tie together, but first is the playoff.

Favorites in Qatar 2022

France, Germany and Brazil are my candidates. We faced Brazil and they are unbalanced players. France has grown a lot and has interesting players. Germany is always there. The match between Spain and Germany will be very interesting.
