Oliver Sonne is the current topic in the Peruvian team. The 22-year-old full-back arrived in our country last Saturday, October 7, and immediately caught the attention of the public and sports media. Hours later, those invited to train at Videna gave him a warm welcome, including Yoshimar Yotún, whose greeting in “Spanglish” went viral on social media. It didn’t take long for fans to continue the joke by viralizing humorous memes about the two meeting as well as the first hours of the Peruvian-Danish stay in Lima.
In the images, Internet users recalled that the midfielder had already hinted that he would use his “verb to be” to overcome the language barrier and be able to communicate with his new partner. “’Yoshi’ for the friends,” was the sentence that caused laughter at the Bicolor rally.

Another aspect that fans described was the possible cultural shocks that Sun will experience as he is not familiar with local customs. Finally, for comparison, they also remembered the arrival of Gianluca Lapadula a few years ago.

Oliver Sonne spoke Spanish for the first time in Peru
“Up, Peru,” were the first words in Spanish that the footballer uttered in a promotional video released by the FPF. “It’s a great honor to be here, it’s been a long adventure since a year ago when they first contacted me. Being here today and being part of the group is something big for me. “I am proud of all the people who do this.” helped me and of course from me,” added the “Viking” in his native language.
