We already know the names of those called up for the Peruvian team for the friendlies against South Korea and Japan, this June 16 and 20. One of the biggest surprises is a great return to our ranks: Paolo Guerrero will wear the ‘blanquirroja’ again.
The string of matches with Racing, both in the Argentine Professional League and in the Copa Libertadores, and his great performance were rewarded. However, doubts began about his call due to the age of the scorer (39 years).
Juan Reynoso, for his part, did not hesitate to defend the call of the ‘Predator’ and considered that his return to the national team is not a mistake.
“This is soccer. I understand that football is of moments and of the present. I don’t think of date of birth marks an expiration date. We’ll talk about it in a few months, suddenly Paolo scores goals in the Qualifiers and your comment will remain an anecdote, ”he responded emphatically to the journalist’s question.
“For me it is not a mistake. It is an illusion that he is back and competes again, ”she added.
Likewise, minutes before he had also ruled on the Guerrero-Lapadula duo and mentioned the following: “Paolo comes to compete because that is his essence. My hope is that at some point we will play with two wingers”
