The strategist of the Peruvian team, Juan Reynosoreferred to the entry of Raúl Ruidíazin the narrow defeat against Brazil, for the second date of the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers.
“We were looking for him to accompany Paolo in the pressure, and since he was fresh, he would help us score passes and have some option in attack,” he declared at a press conference.
On the other hand, he explained the play of the Brazilian goal, in which Ruidíaz is somehow involved, who was anticipated by Marquinhos to score the only goal of the match.
“We had reconsidered that ball, Paolo (Guerrero) and André (Carrillo) were going to the penalty spot, we had thought that Rául (Ruidíaz), as he does in his club, in Mexico, and everywhere, would go to the post and Paolo to the penalty spot, because the most dangerous balls were thrown between the post and the penalty spot,” he explained.
“Beyond any lack of coordination, the responsibility lies with whoever speaks and the merit belongs to them (rival),” he added.
With this defeat, the streak of matches without being able to beat Brazil in a Qualifying duel extends.
Peru, on the next double qualifying date, will visit Chile and then host Argentina in Lima.
