Precisely, ‘Cabezón’ in the conference prior to the duel spoke about that option, along with the one that Piero Quispe also has. “Quispe and Grimaldo have a good chance of being in the game. They are players with quite high potential, this duel motivates them. “We will try to play an intelligent game to neutralize the rival.”said the ‘Chess Player’. And although the coach seems to have opted for Andy Polo from the start, the chances of ‘Picante’ entering in the second half are high, since everything lends itself to it being his game.
Is it the ideal match for him?
Grimaldo has a good chance of entering as one of Reynoso’s substitutions in the second half against Brazil to give another air to the match. He can give freshness and vertigo to that wing on the right and his facing and overflowing game lends itself to this. And the ‘Scratch’ defensive line does not usually have high pressure; On the contrary, it lets you play up to a certain point, which could benefit the skilled winger who by touching and facing can generate danger in that area.
Grimaldo’s virtues can be taken advantage of in spaces where Brazil gives certain licenses, his speed is key for this and with the most exhausted rivals, he can attack the wear and tear in that area, where Fernando Dinis put Renan Lodi against Bolivia, a winger who goes up a lot, but that behind can suffer with the characteristics of the Rimense player.
The desire to make the most of his first game with the senior team is another plus to consider for Grimaldo. The ‘Picante’ already knows what it is to play at an international level, this year he stood out in Libertadores (one goal, two assists) and Sudamericana, and doing so in front of world-class names like Neymar, Rodrygo, among others, can make him grow , since he is a challenging player who has rarely hidden himself on big stages.
The Peruvian winger is faced with a great option to show himself against a strong rival and break it, and thus be able to be seen around the world. A game in Brazil is followed by different scouts and Grimaldo can make that leap in quality he needs by playing his first qualifying match, raise his market value (1.4 million dollars) and be wanted by important clubs abroad to make the leap. If he enters, he has to make the most of it.
