Edison Flores gave value to the playoff: “It is the most important game of our lives”

In the week of the friendly match against New Zealand (June 5) and days before the playoff for Qatar 2022 (June 13), the Peruvian team continues with the work in the city of Barcelona. After the first day of work with the entire group, the second in Spain, the first sensations of what the squad is experiencing can already be perceived. Of this, Edison Flores gave some scope.

This Tuesday, the ‘Orejas’ Flores attended the media from inside the Hotel Hesperia Sant Just. In the talk, the DC United midfielder gave an important value to the commitment against Australia or the United Arab Emirates. Likewise, the attacker commented on the pressure, the experience and the preparation duel for the Bicolor.

The Edison Flores moment: “May has been good for me. I have had minutes, I was working to the maximum in the league, there were dates in the middle of the week. I am ready for what the club asks for, I have worked conscientiously, I have prepared myself for what is to come and looking forward to what the team wants. The game on the 13th will be vital for us, the most important of the year”.

The importance of the playoff: “It is a fundamental game for us. It can be an end or a beginning for us. We want it to be a start for what is to come and obviously a positive result. We are going to look for it, work on it to give joy”.

The experience in the Peruvian national team: “It is very important for what is to come, but it is not essential. There are players who are here and others who aren’t, but those of us who are there must be confident that we have the opportunity to play. Alex Valera, Santiago Ormeño or Jairo Concha are playing their first tie, but the opportunity lies with them as well. We need focused people like the one we have now, the group has been strong. We want to arrive well and fine at 13″.

The friendly against New Zealand: “Now it’s a single match and it doesn’t give you a chance at anything, it’s a vital match and we’ve known that since it happened. We are prepared for that now, we only think about that game. We think that this friendly is going to be very important, obviously the match on the 13th is the most important but this match is going to give us many answers”.

The pressure in the Peruvian team: “There is always pressure in the national team, pressure to win, to give joy to the country, to our families, to ourselves. The national team plays a final in every game and this is the most important game of our lives”.
