Unrecognizable Carrillo, null Polo, and a Zanelatto that excites: the one and only one of the team in the fall against Argentina

Juan Reynoso had announced that changes were going to happen, but few imagined that he would continue insisting with Andy Polo or that Nilson Loyola would be the starter. The fact that he changed them at halftime speaks for itself that his variants did not work.

Yes answered Franco Zanelatto. Joao Grimaldo complied when he entered and Bryan Reyna looked dangerous towards the end. Despite this, the Bicolor suffered a new defeat and we are second to last in the Qualifiers.

This is how we saw Peru

Pedro Gallese (5 pts.): Helpless

There was little he could do about Messi’s two goals. But when he was needed, he appeared to save Peru from a major defeat.

Luis Advíncula (4 pts.): Lost

The two goals came from their wing. Both Tagliafico and Gonzalez gained individual ownership. He was vastly outmatched, as he did not have Polo’s support. He was never able to join the attack and create danger on his side.

Anderson Santamaría (3 pts.): Inattentive

He was a shadow in defense, a luxury spectator in Argentine goals. He suffered in every rival attack. Slow in every sense. He was replaced by Renato Tapia at halftime.

Luis Abram (4 pts.): Undecided

He suffered when he had to leave the area to mark the elusive Julián Álvarez. Slow to cross and indecisive with the ball at his feet.

Nilson Loyola (3 pts.): Unable

A new novelty from Reynoso that did not work. He entered in place of Trauco due to his defensive characteristics, but he did not help in that aspect. In fact, he did not follow Messi in goals. He was replaced by Trauco, the starter.

Wilder Cartagena (5 pts.): Sacrificed

Only containment in the middle. He fought for every ball, but was overwhelmed by the superiority of the Argentine team. He had a couple of notable takeaways.

Yoshimar Yotún (5 pts.): Battler

He struggled and took away a couple of balls in the middle that turned into counterattacks that unfortunately did not end up creating danger. However, he was inaccurate on long passes.

Andy Polo (3 pts.): Intermittent

Again it was one of the lowest points. He did not support Advíncula and when the ball came to him in attack, he made bad decisions. He did not fulfill his goal of making the tour for his band. Joao Grimaldo stepped into his place to provide better answers.

Franco Zanelatto (5 pts.): Bold

Between inaccuracies and some wrong decisions in attack, he was the one that generated the most danger. In his debut, he always tried to go forward with his speed. He always seemed like a passing option.

André Carrillo (4 pts.): Without rhythm

Playing with your back to the goal, fighting aerial balls with the center backs, it is one less. He lost a lot of balls. When he was in front of the goal, he was almost never able to get past his rivals and ended up making backward passes. Very low performance.

Paolo Guerrero (4 pts.): Lonely

From his feet came the shot that was closest to being a goal for Peru; However, he was the one who lost the ball, after a bad pass, in the first Argentine goal. He did not win any splits and was substituted at halftime.

THE VARIANTS

Joao Grimaldo (4 pts.): Facer

It gave another air to the national attack from the right. He faced his marker, Tagliafico, and won a couple of singles duels. He lacks the weight to finish the plays.

Renato Tapia (5 pts.): Ordered

He was not a starter due to physical issues. He came on for the second half and ordered the defense, giving him the security he lacked in the first half. He closed his side and was shown as the first pass for the departure of the local team.

Miguel Trauco (3 pts.): Fearful

His entry did not improve the Peruvian attack on the left wing at all, since he was never able to project himself. He found himself surpassed in each rival offensive, even though he was only in charge of defending.

Bryan Reyna (3 pts.): Fast

He came in to accompany André Carrillo up front, but Bryan is a footballer who needs space, to play with the line. He was then put in his natural position as a winger on the right and took advantage of his speed to try to create danger.

Sergio Peña (3 pts.): Inactive

He came in to add a man in the middle and have the ball. However, Peru almost always played long and on the wings. It had no impact on the game.
