Peru is looking to get its first three points of the 2026 South American qualifiers against Chile in the Pacific Classic to be played in Santiago. La Bicolor is gradually preparing for the arrival of foreigners, including Oliver Sonne, who will undergo his first training under the direction of Juan Reynoso in La Videna. A few days before the confrontation with the Lone Star, the “Cabezón” would sketch a lineup involving the Dane.
The 22-year-old footballer plays as a right-back, but the coach of the Peruvian team would have thought of using him in the midfield line to give him a more attacking role. In this sense, anyone who has to leave the starting team would be a “victim”.
Peru vs. Chile: possible alignment of the bicolor
If Juan Reynoso is encouraged to make his debut for Oliver Sonne at the 2026 South American qualifiers, the Dane would replace Andy Polo. The team would look like this:
- Pedro Gallese; Luis Advíncula, Carlos Zambrano, Renato Tapia, Miguel Trauco; Yoshimar Yotún, Pedro Aquino, Oliver Sonne, Marcos López (Bryan Reyna); André Carrillo, Paolo Guerrero.
The funny reception that Oliver Sonne from Yotún had in the national team
Last Saturday, October 7th, Oliver Sonne met all of his teammates from the Peruvian team in the concentration hotel. The right-back was welcomed by everyone, including Yoshimar Yotún. The player, who plays for Sporting Cristal, made a funny gesture with the 22-year-old footballer by speaking to him in English.
“Nice to meet you, my friend! My name is Yoshimar, ‘Yoshi’ for friends,” Yotún said in a video posted on Blanquirroja’s social networks.
