Erick Noriega on his call: “I had hope because of what was done in the Pre-Olympic”

The defender Eric Noriegawho plays for Comerciantes Unidos of League 1 Te Apuesta, was the big surprise of Jorge Fossati’s first call to the peruvian team.

In this regard, the one born in Japan to Peruvian parents, was very happy with the great opportunity and revealed that he had some confidence in being part of the list, after playing a great Pre-Olympic with the red and white.

“I had hope because of what was done in the Pre-Olympic, but I wasn’t sure until the call was out, so I was a little surprised,” said the 22-year-old soccer player.

In addition, he said that he has not yet spoken with coach Fossati, but that he did speak with some members of the technical team.

“After a while they ask me for a lot of photos, in Japan it also happened to me a lot since they are very affectionate with the player. But very happy with the public’s affection,” he said about his days after defending the red and white team.

Peru will face Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic on March 22 and 26, respectively.

It should be noted that both duels will be played on national territory. The first in the Alejandro Villanueva de Matute state, while the second will be played at the Monumental.
