Paolo Guerrero left an illness that kept him away from the soccer fields. The ‘Predator’ is bouncing back to his best as he made his first start last Sunday and put in an acceptable performance despite not being able to score goals.
The Peruvian striker has already worn the racing shirt for six games in a row and just before Juan Reynoso makes the national team squad list official (18 March) for the friendlies against Germany and Morocco, his name can be heard in gaucho country and in Lima.
Although the ‘Cabezón’ conceded at his last conference that it was possible to leave the attacker out so he could just focus on his club, rumors of his potential call-up have increased after an Argentine journalist asked him Paolo his feeling of being called.
This news was met with surprise and disbelief by the attacker. “You’re giving me the message because I didn’t know. Really? Do you mean that seriously? Very lucky if that’s the case, because I don’t know exactly. Nobody contacted me. If they call me up, I’ll be very happy to be back in the national team. Of course, representing my country is always an illusion,” replied an emotional Guerrero.
