At the end of the match between Peru and Brazil, which ended with a victory in favor of Neymar’s Canarinha, the captain Paolo Guerrero was asked about his strong complaint to coach Juan Reynoso after Marquinhos’ goal in the final minutes of the game. The striker of the Peruvian team reacted evasively to the topic and avoided elaborating: “These are things that are kept in the dressing room,” suggested the “9”.

As will be remembered, after Verdeamarela’s goal in the 90th minute, the “Predator” approached “Cabezón” and showed his anger at the instructions, as commentator Diego Rebagliati told Movistar Deportes in more detail: “When the corner comes, says Ruidíaz.” Paolo: ‘You go back and I go forward’. Then there is someone who carries the Marquinhos trademark. But Paolo’s (Guerrero) anger, which he expressed very loudly, got to him. Talk to Reynoso,” he said.

What did Paolo Guerrero say after Peru lost to Brazil?
Despite the defeat, Paolo Guerrero felt that Scratch did not pose much of a threat against the Peruvian team: “Aside from the disallowed goals, I think Brazil didn’t do us much harm. We knew how to handle the ball and the timing. I think we did that.” “A great job, a great sacrifice,” he said. “It’s a very strong team that knows how to play, but we also knew how to play, we created our chances. It’s a bit bitter that they score a goal like that for us,” added the Bicolor’s historic goalscorer.
