The Peruvian team has hit rock bottom after losing to Bolivia in La Paz. Juan Reynoso’s team has neither won nor scored goals in the current South American qualifiers and is in last place in the standings. Therefore, it is urgent for the “Cabezón” to achieve a victory in the next game against Venezuela and, despite the bad moment of the Blanquirroja, this seems to be a favorable environment for the celebrated Oliver Sun Have you made your long-awaited debut with the two-tone shirt, why?

Why was Oliver Sonne able to make his debut against Venezuela?
- Luis Advíncula suspended. “Rayo” was excluded from the game against Vinotinto due to an accumulation of yellow cards after the player was penalized for his complaint against Bolivia. For this reason, the right-back position remained without competition, with only Corzo and Sonne competing for the position.
- Substitution for Corzo. Since “Lucho” will not be there, it is very likely that Aldo will take his place in the starting XI; However, Reynoso made substitutions in a few games at this point (against Bolivia and Chile) when Corzo played, so Sun would be very likely for “Muelita” in the game.
- Renovation on campus. As he proved well in La Paz, the “Cabezón” has begun to incorporate new players into its program (Piero Quispe, Joao Grimaldo and Franco Zanelatto as starters), so he chose the “Vikingo” for the confrontation in the national team could decide stadium.
Would Sun be insured by Peru in his debut against Venezuela?
Yes. According to the current FIFA legal manual, a player cannot return to his former association if he has already played a match with his new team. This means that just one minute of sun on the field wearing the Peruvian national team jersey is enough to be “armored” by Peru.
