The style of play that the Peru team coached by Juan Reynoso could have has been the subject of debate since his arrival. Although he explained that he will be based on the team left by Ricardo Gareca, he also stressed that he will add some elements of his own to have a new squad.
During a conversation with Team F, the “chess player” revealed the scheme he wants to use in Bicolor and reiterated that he doesn’t want to “change everything” in the national team.
“A lot will depend on the moment of the players. Today we know there are one or two who have problems from those who played, I’ll call them later. I hope they come but if they can’t we have to see the moments and how it suits us and above all that we will have a week to work. If we all arrive in Los Angeles on Monday — the game is Saturday — we have the option of doing a double shift on Tuesday or Wednesday and we’ll see,” he began.
Don’t rule out a row of five
The ‘Cabezón’ made his intentions known in terms of playing style. “What we intend is that if we can play a line of five with two conflicts, with a link or in a triangle and we’ve got it activated, then for sure we’re going to work,” he said, immediately adding, “What we don’t arrive and want to change everything, because there is an important basis, a style that needs to be further supported”.
I’m already planning how I’m going to play against Mexico
Speaking on Peru vs. Mexico, who will make their debut in the Blanquirroja, said: “I’m very interested in Plan B, Plan C, but that’s given to you by the tools you have and, more importantly, how we do in Mexico see first game. There are formations that are complicated for them and we will try to support this detail to surprise and neutralize them.
