Juan Reynoso explains his visit to Liga 1 clubs: “The intention is for the player to feel that we are evaluating him”

After staying with the desire to qualify for the Qatar World Cup, the Peruvian team sees the Qualifiers for North America 2026 as the next great challenge. Thinking about this challenge is also Juan Reynoso, who this week visited the Carlos Stein, César Vallejo and Carlos A. Mannucci teams.

“The goal is to build bridges. The intention is to see the players, see the coaching staff, try to share information, to see how the boys feel, where they train. It is not the same to see them on television as in one-on-one”, assured the ‘Chess player’, in statements to Sol TV

Reynoso, before the press, gave details of the plan for the north of the country. “Yesterday, we had to see César Vallejo train; today, leaving here, we are going to go see Mannucci train. In the afternoon, we watch Vallejo’s match with Carlos Stein. And so we go to the north of the country. It’s going to be time to watch Atlético Grau, watch the Alianza Atlético game and watch the Grau game on Sunday. That’s kind of the plan.”commented.

On the other hand, the 52-year-old strategist left a clear message to the footballers of League 1, thinking about the possibility that they could be summoned if they stand out and are regular in the local league.

“It is getting better. There are many details to develop, but the intention is that the player feels that we are observing him, that we are evaluating him and that those who are in the possibility of reaching the national team will not only be monitored but, in due course, summoned and on that to enlarge the universe of selectable players “commented.
