Peru vs. Argentina: Martínez, Lo Celso and Romero recently received awards for the Copa América

The Argentine national team is going through a magnificent moment, since they managed to win the Copa América and march at a steady pace in the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. Now, those led by Lionel Scaloni are getting ready to face Peru in the qualifying process and three players will arrive with an extra motivation, after being awarded.

In the hours before the meeting, Emiliano Martínez, Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero participated in a small ceremony in the concentration of the ‘Albiceleste’. As it was known, the three footballers just received their commemorative plaque for winning the Copa América 2021.

Claudio ‘Chiqui’ Tapia, president of the AFA, was in charge of delivering the present to the stars of the Argentina team. Let’s remember that initially, these presents were delivered to the squad in the game they had against Bolivia in September, which was the first they played at home after winning the title in the South American tournament.

On that triple date last month, Emiliano Martínez, Giovani Lo Celso and Cristian Romero were part of the squad, but only received permission from their Premier League clubs to only play the first two matches. Due to this situation, the plates that belonged to them were reserved.

Finally, with some delay, they received them and will surely give them special care. In addition, it will be an extra motivation for these players, who are emerging as starters to face the Peruvian team.

What time does Peru vs. Argentina?

The match Peru vs. Argentina will be played this Thursday, October 14 from 6:30 pm (Peruvian time) on the 12th date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers at the Monumental Stadium in Buenos Aires. Currently, the ‘Albiceleste’ is in second place with 22 points and the ‘Blanquirroja is seventh with 11 units.
