Happy. The Peruvian striker scored his first goal in a racing jersey. “A fan told me in preview that he will score,” he said.
Paolo Guerrero is living his best days in avellaneda. The Peruvian striker scored his first goal wearing the Racing Club jersey, icing on the cake for ‘Academia”s victory over San Martín Formosa in the last 32 of the Argentine Cup.
The ‘Predator’ was reunited with the goal after a year and six months, bearing in mind that his last goal had come on 16 August 2021 in Inter’s 4-2 win Fluminense.
After the meeting, Paolo did not hide his joy and was encouraged to confess. “A fan told me in the preview that I would score my first goal today. As a replacement, I take it easy, I’ll talk to Gago about it. I feel better every day,” he said.
Guerrero also emphasized what it means to play in Argentina. “Football is played at an intense pace here. I’m getting used to this style of play very well. Beyond Fernando’s system, I have to adapt to the team. If the ball doesn’t reach me, I have to look for goal situations.”
Also happy with the moment the Peruvian lives in is coach Fernando Gago, who highlighted the performance of our compatriot and the will he puts in every training session. “Paolo’s confidence doesn’t come from a goal, he’s a player who has an incredible hierarchy, he’s got incredible experience, he knows what he came for, he knows the situation he’s in,” he said excitedly. And he added: “The confidence he has isn’t just for a goal. He enjoys the training sessions, the games, every time he gets minutes and tries to be at his best physically and footballing throughout the year that we play.
