Peru began its preparation to face Chile for the qualifying rounds to Qatar 2022

Peru began training on Monday for the match against Chile in Santiago, set for November 13 on the third date of the South American qualifier for the Qatar-2022 World Cup.

The ‘Clásico del Pacifico’ operation began its practices behind closed doors with four players of the 26 that Argentine coach Ricardo Gareca called up for the double date with Chile on November 13 and four days later with Lionel Messi ‘s Argentina in Lima.

Defenders Aldo Corzo, from Universitario, and Christian Ramos, from César Vallejo, both present at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, along with José Carvallo (University) and Renato Solís (Sporting Cristal) participated in the small and collective soccer practices.

Members of the Gareca technical command directed the training sessions at the National Sports Village (Videna).

“It is a very difficult team, it is a separate game practically with Chile we live it that way. We are excited and with great expectations, hopefully we can give the people a victory, ”said Gareca, 62, on Friday when making the list of summoned official.

“The selection has to give results. We have to win. The only way to achieve goals is by winning, ”added the DT, who took over the reins of the national team in March 2015.

The ‘tiger’ Gareca will not count for these meetings with the strikers Paolo Guerrero from Internacional de Porto Alegre and Jefferson Farfán, without a club.

Both 36-year-old players are recovering from a knee injury.

Raúl Ruidíaz of the Seattle Sounders of the United States will assume the attack of the Peruvians in both games.

Gareca called up forward Gianluca Lapadula, from Benevento in the Italian Serie A to reinforce the lead.

The starting central defender Carlos Zambrano of Boca Juniors of Argentina will be dismissed by expulsion in the game against Brazil in Lima.

The duel will be a new edition of the ‘Classic of the Pacific’, as the fans know this traditional confrontation between the two neighboring countries bordering the Pacific Ocean.

The last precedent between Peru and Chile is the semifinal of the Copa América-2019 that the Peruvians won 3-0 in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The Inca team has never won a visit to ‘La Roja’ in qualifying rounds in Santiago.

After facing Chile, Peru will host Argentina in Lima on November 17.

Peru is eighth in the standings of the South American qualifiers, with only one point out of six possible
