Peru vs Bolivia: Who is who in “the green” that comes with surprises to the game?

The peruvian team started this triple date with a great 2-0 victory over Chile in these Qualifying Qatar 2022. If “La Roja” was a difficult rival, now Peru has to face Bolivia in La Paz. A city where it has never managed to score three points. The team led by César Farías comes to this meeting with the urgency to win and for that, the coach will launch a high plan.

Statistics also play an important role in the preparation of a match. That is very clear to him César Farías, who decided to save against Ecuador some players with experience in playing in high-rise cities that surpass La Paz. The idea of ​​the Bolivian coach is that these elements are from the beginning against Peru.

“We are going to reserve some players for the height. Playing three games is difficult. We know that we have important points at stake in La Paz. We are going to support some players accustomed to La Paz and with experience for the match against Peru, to do something very similar to what we did against Argentina ”, declared Farías before the start of this triple date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers.

Bolivia He has the great opportunity to score 6 points because he has to face Peru and Paraguay in La Paz. That is why Farías has placed great importance on these two meetings. He knows that by winning these games he can get into the fight to go to the World Cup.

It is true that the Bolivian team has some casualties such as Diego Bejarano and Erwin Saavedra, both tested positive for COVID-19 and it is possible that they are not before Peru. However, it has a very large staff.

-DEFENSIVE AREA-

Cesar Farias he uses a different system every time he plays in La Paz. You know you have to take advantage of the height. It is probable that against Peru he will send an offensive team in a 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1. In this way, he would seek to suffocate the white-and-red as it became customary when he was visited.

The Bolivian arch is well protected by Carlos Lampe. Undoubtedly, their feline performances have saved the highland team from scandal defeats. He knows very well the path of the ball in height and provides security under the three sticks. In addition, he is the player who played all the minutes of these Playoffs.

In the line of four defenses, Farías has many variants to choose from. As sides could be Jesús Sagredo, Marc Enoumba, José Sagredo and Borís Céspedes. They all have a lot of offensive vocation; its weak point is the brand.

As centrals you will have to choose between Adrian Justino, Luis Haquín and Jairo Quintero. All three were starters against Ecuador. Against Peru, it is difficult for Farías to repeat the same line-up that lost 3-0 to Quito.

César Farías has saved players in this area of ​​the field. They wanted all those who did not go to Quito to arrive in the best way to the duel against Peru. Here you can put together a flyer to your liking and to the system you decide. You can already count on Fernando Saucedo, Gabriel Villamil and Moisés Villarroel, who are regular starters.

Along with them is added Leonel Justiniano, who also has many chances to start the actions again against the Peruvian team. He also has Ramiro Vaca as an option at the wheel with Henry Vaca, who some years ago played at the Sports University.

Bolivia will seek it against Peru is to suffocate it from the first minute. They will not let the Peruvian midfielder play normally and will constantly try to search for attackers through long passes. This is how they will wear out the red-and-white defenders.

Another of the positions where there is no doubt in Bolivia is the attack zone. The center forward against Peru will be Marcelo Martins Moreno, scorer in the Qualifiers with 8 goals. The Peruvian defenses will have to find the best strategy to annul this great attacker.

César Farías doesn’t want to give anything away. That is why he will put very fast players on the wings to reach that area. He has studied that the defensive zone of Peru is very vulnerable in the plain and in height it is likely that it is much more complicated.
