The Peruvian National Team is located in the city of Santiago, one day from the commitment against his counterpart in Chiliby Qualifiers for the World Cup in Canada, the United States and Mexico 2026. Those led by Juan Reynoso They have planned one last practice, before this Thursday’s match at the Monumental stadium in Colo Colo, to define the eleven that will take the field. Although the ‘Chess Player’ added more players in this call, there are certain names that are emerging as permanent fixtures for the clash against the ‘Mapochos’, thanks to their experience.
Precisely, that same trajectory is what Julio César Uribe highlighted, in dialogue with GOLPERUwhen asked about the inclusion of Oliver Sonne to the call for this double date. Although he praised the scouting work being carried out by the ‘bicolor’ technical command, he emphasized that the team needs to look in other positions, more than in defense, where there are already established players.
“It is the coach’s responsibility to call him, if he knows him or has seen him play; If he has followed up accordingly, welcome. Anyone who has Peruvian nationality is welcome, they should always be welcomed, but I say ‘why a right back?’ The problem with our team is not the defense, because he is a right back who has up to four more years“, he specified in the program ‘They talk about football like this‘.
Likewise, he highlighted the hierarchy that other national players have who perform in the same position as Sonne. “For those of us who know something about football, the undisputed starter is Advíncula and then Corzo earned his position, speaking of full-backs. The third option is Jhilmar Lora, who is a boy with great projection; So that’s the objective, you have to respect each person’s history.”, he pointed out.
