Although Gianluca Lapadula ended the FIFA appointment with a tough defeat against Japan, he does not lose sight of his main goal with the Peru team: the ticket to the 2026 World Cup.
The current Cagliari forward assured that he dreams of playing in the United States, Mexico and Canada and that the Blanquirroja also have the necessary weapons to gain access to the king of sport’s most prestigious competition.
“I only have one goal: to qualify for the World Cup. It’s the most important thing for me. We have very good players and they also need to put more elements on the pitch. “We’re a great team,” said Lapagol osaka for America Sports.

Likewise, Gianluca revealed the feelings he had playing in attack alongside Paolo Guerrero in the match against Japan. “I really felt very comfortable. In the second half, too, I felt comfortable playing differently. I think it was the game I felt most comfortable in,” admitted the Italian-Peruvian.
In addition, Lapadula showed himself energetic after being consulted on a possible approach to Alianza Lima. “I have nothing against anyone (Alianza Lima). I love all of Peru very much. “I still have two years of contract in Cagliari and I feel very comfortable, very good,” he emphasized.
Gianluca would not see his Peru team-mates again until September when they face Paraguay in Asuncion and Brazil in Lima.
