Amid the complicated moment that the Peruvian team is facing under the command of Juan Reynoso, many fans were surprised by the arrival of Ricardo Gareca in Lima. When asked about the presence of his colleague at the 2026 qualifying tournaments, the “Tigre” sent a clear message to the Bicolor fans.
“Let them support, let them have confidence. Above all, they should support Juan (Reynoso), his entire team and the boys, as they have always done,” he said for the program “La banda del Chino”.
The former football player also praised the actions of the national fans, especially in adverse situations.“Peru has always supported everyone, even more so in difficult times. This is what has always distinguished the Peruvian people and fans. That’s the most important”, he concluded.

What did Ricardo Gareca say about the level of Peruvian football players?
One of the most questioned points in recent days has been Juan Reynoso’s statements regarding the level of some of his managers. Amid this scenario, the Argentine strategist assumed that the local players are on par with other major leagues on the continent.
“The most important thing is what we think about ourselves. Don’t Peruvians run? Lie. Peruvians run. We had checked the Argentine and Brazilian leagues. We had data on what the other leagues were like, which are very competitive. This is what we found out.” Fallacy. Peruvians are at the level of the best leagues,” he said at a private event.
