The Peruvian team is already in Seoul and last Monday completed their second training session under coach Juan Reynoso in preparation for their first game Friendly match against Korea. With the arrival of new elements of the blanquirroja, the cabezón carried out its work in the main square of Goyang Stadium.
During the 24 hours, different players from different international teams came to the Asian country to take part in the preparation. Among them, the most important novelty was the presence of Paolo Guerrero, Christopher Gonzales, Sergio Peña, José Carvallo and Alex Valera.
The striker surprises
Guerrero took part in the Peru team’s training sessions in Korea in anticipation of their two friendlies on the Asian continent. The Predator made some statements that got people talking. The Racing player referred to Lapadula and how tough the competition will be to gain a position in attack.

“My congratulations go to him (Gianluca Lapadula), I think he made an effort to get into Serie A and now he’s back in competitive football. In addition, Valera is also doing well in Peruvian football and Juan (Reynoso) will provide the best player. “The training sessions will be very competitive because we want to play three, but the coach will be the one who decides,” he said.
When asked how he was doing in football at the age of 39, Guerrero said: “I play competitive football. There are many Peruvian players who have played football that is not competitive like Peruvians and others, but at 39 I still play football at a high level. If I play competitive football, it’s because I’m good. If I was in non-competitive football and not considered, they could only question me there.

The international forward also said he’s sometimes not a starter because of the manager’s decisions. “Fernando (Gago) He keeps making changes and explains to me that there are games that require different player characteristics. There are times when he’d rather attach two wings than a “9” and I’d just follow orders. I played a full game against Defensa y Justicia, a team that just played the Copa Sudamericana.”

When told about his potential return to Peru, the Predator commented, “If I wanted to play in Alianza? As a fan I would have liked it, but it depended more on a leadership issue. He concluded: “I’d like to understand people whistling for new names in the national team, but that’s the way it is. Let’s just hope these guys continue this hunger for fame.” Here, in Peruvian teamthere are those who had to be”.
