League 1 is over and date to date we continue to applaud the actions of Jefferson Farfán, the goals of Joao Villamarín, the growth of Percy Liza, among others. For Ricardo Gareca, the local tournament is a source of players for the Peruvian national team and on these triple dates of September and October of Qualifying Qatar 2022, so it has been. However, what has been the real contribution in the field of the ‘locals’ with the Bicolor.
Get to the peruvian team It is a recognition for any soccer player, however joining the Bicolor group represents a greater challenge, since Ricardo Gareca has a well-defined universe of players and, with few exceptions, it does not usually leave that group.
Ricardo Gareca has highlighted the importance of the player of the League 1. “It is the list that we gave at this time, we highly value the players in the local environment. Any problem that may arise, we have to turn to local players “he said last August. But in his last conference of summoned, in October, he assured that in these cases he has a solution. “We have the possibility of summoning a player from the local environment who has already passed through the national team and that we have knowledge of them”, that is, with those with whom you have ever worked.
To get started, Gareca usually works with a small group of 23 players. However, for the last date FIFA decided to call 30 due to the fact that several players were injured and eight players were in chapel. Despite this, he did not cite players who stand out in League 1 as Jairo Concha, Ricardo Lagos, Joao Villamarín, Percy Liza and at the same time Oslimg Mora and Alex Valera In the first moment. It only did so after the confirmed casualties of Flores and Guerrero.
The count
Let’s start with what the starting national team is armed with players who are active abroad. Thus began to dispute the Playoffs in October 2020 in Asunción, without players from the League 1 in the starting eleven. Remember that the local tournament had resumed in August and Gareca had made microcycles with them. However, he went to the Paraguayan capital with five locals and only ‘Canchita’ Gonzales managed to enter.
Aldo Corzo and Gonzales were the usual locals, and except for the exception of Calcaterra against Argentina – Tapia was not there – they are the only ones who had minutes. Remember that during 2020, Jefferson Farfán did not have a club and was part of La Videna. Thus he had a presence before Paraguay and Brazil, in October of that year.

| TOTAL: Two entitlements | BALANCE – Average of five per game (two are goalkeepers) – Only three entries |
The suspension of the March date disrupted any plan and had to be adjusted. Prior to the Copa América, Gareca worked on a call that advanced those who would travel to the continental tournament, where these ‘new people’ were to be tested.
Given the casualties due to injury to Gonzales and Edison Flores, Raziel García and Alexis Arias were called, also called that had to do with one of the games going to be at the height of Quito.
The replacement was still in the players who militate abroad. “It’s going to have to continue like this. The change is there, but it depends on how many players are coming out”, Daniel Kanashiro, from the DirecTV network, was telling us at the time.

“It seems to me that in general there are several players who are saying ‘present’ in the national team. The most important thing is that there is competition for positions “, said at that time Analucía Rodríguez, a journalist for Gol Peru who covers most of the matches of the League 1.
For the America’s Cup, Ricardo Gareca opened the group with several local summoned. Martin Távara, Jhilmar Lora and Renzo garces were the big news on that trip to Brazil. Sure, the headlines were always Corzo and Ramos, but it was the tournament where Raziel Garcia It consolidated. He had already been called in 2020 -he played in Vallejo-, but only in the continental tournament could he make his debut.
In Brazil, it was decided to see Ormeño before Valera in attack, but at the same time it was possible to have the certainty that Lora he was in a position to take on the challenge of the national team. He also debuted with the Bicolor -like Távara and Valera himself-, and he did it in a good way.

After the outstanding role in the Copa América -we were fourth-, Gareca He returned with some certainties in the Bicolor: Ramos showed his hierarchy at the rear, Raziel his daring to be a variant and Lora was the best appearance as a winger in recent years.
However, the triple dates of Playoffs they forced to have more weapons to face the string of matches. Because from having an average of four concentrated locals, it went to seven. However, again, the outsiders were the pillars. In September, against Uruguay and Venezuela, no League 1 player started, and before the Charrúas none even entered.
In October, the injuries -Carrillo, Tapia, Ruidíaz, Guerrero, Flores, Peña-, forced to look at the house and there were more calls, led by the return of Jefferson Farfan, that little by little he was recovering his best physical condition.
To those always called as Carvallo, Cáceda, Gonzales, Raziel, Lora joined from the first call and the arrival of Calcaterra and Oslimg Mora -novation-, before the losses of players. Mora only had activity at the height of La Paz and Lora was a starter in Argentina before Advíncula’s injury.

The peruvian team shows that there are elements of League 1, but they are still scarce. It takes the locals to exploit much more in their clubs so that Ricardo Gareca take them into consideration. Then they get to the Bicolor and convince the technical command.
It is understood that they are the spare parts for the players who militate abroad due to their hierarchy. But their call also means that they will go to La Videna and catch the atmosphere and transfer it to their clubs. They are national team players for a reason.
Figures
- Christofer Gonzales has played 407 minutes in Playoffs. It is the place with the most minutes. He missed the June dates due to injury.
- Christian Ramos has played 405 minutes in Qualifying. He was not summoned in the first two dates.
