Gianluca Lapadula thanked the fans of the national team before leaving Qatar: “Up, Peru” | VIDEO

Silent. This is how the Peruvian team left the concentration hotel early this Tuesday in Qatar. The players, dressed in one of the official outfits, crossed the gate one by one until they reached the bus that took the delegation to the airport. Of all of them, the only one who dared to say a few words was Gianluca Lapadula.

The ‘Bambino de los Andes’, still hurt by losing the opportunity to play in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, addressed the fans who came to Doha to cheer on the match against Australia in the intercontinental playoff: “Have a nice trip guys”. To close, the ‘9’ tried to raise spirits and closed with a “up, Peru”.

Then, the delegation arrived at the local airport to begin the return to Lima, which is scheduled for the next few hours. Of course, there is a group of soccer players who must return to their respective clubs to fulfill their commitments, others will begin a vacation stage to finish their seasons and those who play in League 1 will close the Apertura.

Advincula’s departure

Some postcards released by Movistar Deportes showed Luis Advíncula leaving the Blanquirroja concentration on Monday night (in Peru). The player took his belongings in a couple of suitcases and got into a vehicle. The defender is in full development of the campaign with Boca Juniors in Argentina.

The Blanquirroja right-back was devastated after being left out of the 2022 World Cup. As soon as the penalty shootout ended, the marker covered his face with his shirt and cried. Later, he shared a post on his Instagram account in which he stepped aside from everyone’s team, but later deleted that post.

During the development of the penalty shootout, ‘Bolt’ missed his shot when the Bicolor was ahead on the scoreboard. Australia was then able to equalize and held onto that result until the end of five penalties. On the sixth shot, for each team Awer Mabil scored and Valera missed. In this way, the selection was left empty-handed.
