The Peruvian National Team does not straighten its course in the Qualifiers 2026 and after the defeat against Bolivia (2-0) everything goes uphill, not only because of the results and the position in the standings –last with one point, four losses in a row and a draw–, but also because the team It doesn’t show even a bit of improvement day after date. With this panorama, this Tuesday, November 21, we will receive Venezuela in the National Stadium and if a new defeat occurs, the project led by Juan Reynoso could have its end.
From the opposite side they already have us in their sights and made it clear Fernando Batista, technical director of the ‘Vinotinto’, who has been carrying out an outstanding campaign in these first five days of the qualifying process. In total, counting the last 0-0 with Ecuador, the llaneros have two wins, two draws and a single defeat, highlighting the 1-1 they rescued against Brazil on matchday 3.

“We know the need that Peru has because the Qualifiers have not started well, but as I always say, we want to compete and I see the boys doing well to go have a great game in Lima“said the 53-year-old coach in his last press conference, where he analyzed the ‘Blanquirroja’ and the challenge that awaits him in Lima.
On the other hand, in reference to the process he experienced in the commitment to Ecuador, Batista rescued the point that they took despite having played at home, because they faced a very tough team that also knew how to do its thing. “It was a very even match, there were almost no clear finishes. We always want to improve, today we only had to take one point, although we kept a clean sheet. The road is very long”he added.
Finally, the strategist rescued the values that have been highlighted in Venezuela and how important they are for his idea of the game. Despite having young elements, Fernando Batista has known how to find a place for them and strengthen them with more experienced footballers such as Salomón Rondón, Yeferson Soteldo, Rómulo Otero and Tomás Rincón. Without a doubt, the Peruvian National Team will face a very tough match.
“Cristian Cásseres is having a great moment at his club and can contribute a lot to us in the midfield. We like Samuel Sosa because of his profile in the 1 vs. 1 and because of his punch. But we consider everyone the same”, he pointed out.
