The arrival of Oliver Sonne in Lima caused great expectations among the fans of the Peruvian team. The winger of Danish origin will join the work Juan Reynoso and it is not out of the question that he could feature in the games against Chile and Argentina for the 2026 qualifiers. Amid this panorama, many fans made the name Gianluca Lapadula viral on social networks.
Bicolor fans compared the arrival of the 22-year-old defender to what happened to the “Bambino” a few years ago. They even highlighted a coincidence that could be recorded in the next national team game.

“Lapadula made his debut during a visit to Chile, our next game is right there”, “Let’s hope that Sonne can enrich our team like Lapadula did back then, who has developed from an ignorant person about Peru into one of the most popular players.” “” Lapadula and Sonne, the Europeans who arrived to reinforce the Peruvian team,” were some of the comments.

On the other hand, another episode that caused repercussions is linked to the statements of Yoshimar Yotún. The Sporting Cristal player took a humorous approach to the inclusion of Sonne and also referred to Lapadula.
“We will welcome him with open arms, as was the case with Benavente and Lapadula. It’s going to be a little difficult because he doesn’t speak Spanish, but I’m going to call my verb classes. We want him to feel important and never.” “I think he made a bad decision,” the steering wheel said, laughing.
