Gallese reaffirms that the goal is the World Cup: “Why not qualify directly”

The victories against Bolivia and Venezuela made the Peruvian team continue with intact chances of qualifying for the World Cup in Qatar. The next two challenges will be Colombia and Ecuador and, thinking about those two rivals, Pedro Gallese works at La Videna, excited about getting a ticket to the World Cup.

“We have closed the year well, we are right now in the playoff zone. But there are games and there are points to play, why not qualify directly “Gallese said in an interview with Willax Deportes, outside the sports headquarters of the Peruvian Football Federation.

The ‘Pulpo’, who hopes to define his situation in Orlando City in the coming weeks, made it clear that he has no problems in continuing to exercise with his other teammates, several of them who are active in Major League Soccer (MLS).

“I have been training here for two weeks. In order to go to another World Cup, one makes these sacrifices ”, said the goalkeeper, who already has 83 matches with a red and white jersey.

On the other hand, Gallese once again showed his optimism, thinking about his dream of accessing the World Cup. “We are close, we have fought all these years. We are in an area where the classification is there. It only depends on us “, he indicated.

The ‘Blanquirroja’ will collide with Colombia, in Barranquilla, on Friday, January 28. Four days later (Tuesday, February 1), the ‘Bicolor’ will receive Ecuador in Lima. Of course, before that double day, the team led by Ricardo Gareca will face Panama (January 16) and Jamaica (January 20) in friendly duels.
