The Peruvian team could not improve in Santiago and lost 0-2 against Chile in the South American qualification for the 2026 World Cup. The national team failed to reduce the statistical disadvantage of failing to beat La Roja in a qualifying process and was in second-to-last place by one unit. This result sparked a number of criticisms of coach Juan Reynoso’s tactical approach, as the Bicolor did not register any shots on goal and were unable to maintain possession of the ball.
One of those who questioned the “Cabezón” system was the sports commentator Pedro Eloy García, who explained that you don’t have to be a coach to realize that you can’t beat a team with this style of play. .
“You don’t have to be a coach to realize that we’re not going to beat anyone with this style of play. If we play the way we played today (yesterday), we won’t beat anyone, not even Bolivia. There has to be a rethink.” So on. “When a coach recognizes that his team is playing poorly and Reynoso obviously recognized that because the plan didn’t work, either because of errors in the plan itself or in the execution,” he said on the “Al Angle” show. .

Furthermore, the communicator explained that Reynoso had to look for a quick solution as the team suffered several losses in the next game against Argentina.
“When you realize that there have to be solutions, because that’s why you’re a coach, coaches solve the games you lost or played badly,” he added.
