The new year is almost beginning and as never before, January will be a decisive month in the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. peruvian team he will visit Colombia and then he will receive Ecuador and will immediately have to think about Uruguay and Paraguay, at the closing of the contest. For Sergio Markarian, former coach of the Bicolor, the duel against the Charrúa could define who qualifies for the World Cup.

In an interview with the Tirando Paredes program in Uruguay, Markarián gave an analysis of what happens to ‘Celeste’ with the departure of Óscar Washington Tabárez and the arrival of Diego Alonso. The Uruguayans today are out of the classification zone and they play everything for everything in the four final dates.

In these four days, one of his rivals is Peru in Montevideo. For Markarián, that duel will define who is fifth in the Qatar 2022 qualifying playoffs.

“Each game will be a different story, but there are two key games. One, the first, the one that comes [Uruguay visita a Paraguay y recibe a Venezuela en enero]. ”, Assured Sergio Markarián.
