The Argentina coach praised the veteran Peruvian striker and also spoke about his physical condition.
After Paul Guerrero scored his first goal racing club, the Peruvian shooter was praised by the Argentine press and also by his technical director Fernando Gago. After three games with the academy, the “Depedrador” was able to score points in the Argentine Cup and thus end his goal drought. In a press conference last Friday the 24th, the strategist once again praised Guerrero, highlighting his scoring ability despite his 39 years.
“Paolo excels as a goalscorer who wants to be close to goal where he has a good definition. He can give us a lot,” Gago told the press ahead of Argentina’s league team’s next game against Lanús.
The 36-year-old coach mentioned that Guerrero can bring another asset to the team and also spoke about his physical condition. “Paolo is doing very well. He’s in a situation where he’s been working and training for a few days. He’s getting better and better physically and football-wise. With no different characteristics. As much as Maxi (Romero) and Nico (Reniero) are different are Paolo in certain roles that we carry out,” he said.
