Gianluca Lapadula praised Jefferson Farfán: “The king of chocolate”

The Peruvian team had great news in its call for the triple date of October in the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. One of the outstanding news occurred in the attack, with the return of Jefferson Farfán, who had not been considered for almost a year and coincided with Gianluca Lapadula for the first time.

The ‘Bambino’ fulfilled his first call for Ricardo Gareca in the month of November 2020, date in which the ‘Foquita’ could not be due to the injury he suffered. During the following months, the Italian-Peruvian was a regular in the national team, being even considered the main starter.

Finally, after these circumstances, both Gianluca Lapadula and Jefferson Farfán managed to concentrate together for the first time for the matches against Chile (2-0 victory), Bolivia (1-0 defeat) and Argentina (to be played). However, so far they have not been able to share actions in the field officially.

The last chance they will have this month will be in the duel against the Argentine team in Buenos Aires and, in the days before the confrontation, the admiration that Lapadula has for his teammate was in evidence. The Benevento footballer decided to use his social networks to highlight the presence of the ‘Foquita’.

“With the king of chocolate. A pleasure to share with this crack”, Highlighted the ‘Bambino’ about Jefferson Farfán on Instagram, along with a postcard of both in the recent practice of the Peruvian team. The fans immediately expressed their affection for both of them, showing their desire to see them play together.

Let’s remember that against Chile and Bolivia, Farfán was active playing the latter. Meanwhile, Gianluca Lapadula was reserved from the match against ‘Roja’ and then started in La Paz, but had already been replaced when Jefferson entered. Coach Ricardo Gareca will have the last word regarding forming an attacking pair with the experienced forwards.
