Christian Cueva is one of the most influential players in the Peruvian national team and is emerging as one of the main cards in attack to face to Uruguay in Montevideo for Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. 'Aladino' is in his best state and was praised by Gustavo Ferrín, Uruguayan coach, in the preview of the match with the 'celeste'.
“The quality of Cueva remains intact, the same as when the South American played. But it is not the same today that he already has a valuable career path”, was what he said in an interview with RPP.
The 'Cholito' is having a great time with his club after a long time. Apparently he would have found his place in the world in Al Fateh and his records at the start of 2022 are very important. He has five goals and four assists in 11 matches in Arab football.
In addition, in the last dates of the South American qualifiers, he assumed the role of protagonist in the Peruvian national team. He scored Bolivia in Lima, Venezuela in Caracas and, if that were not enough, he gave Edison Flores an incredible assist to score the winning goal against Colombia in Barranquilla.
FERRIN ON PERU VS. Uruguay
“Tomorrow is a game with a lot of tension, a lot of nervousness and it's good that both teams have experienced players. Uruguay will have to take advantage of the locality and that does not play against it,” said the strategist 'charrua'.
He also had an opinion of the 'bicolor'. “Peru is a very powerful team, Gareca has given it distinction and the players have performed very well, they have a very defined style of play and character.”
On the other hand, he spoke about the new coach of Uruguay. “Diego Alonso has maintained a football that is not far from that of 'Maestro' Tabárez. Hopefully he will be the right coach and he will solve well both Peru and home and against Chile on a visit.”
“Of the players who have come to visit the Centennial, I think Guerrero always played as a local. He never made it feel like he was coming to visit,” Gustavo Ferrín replied when they asked him about the Peruvian who had a great performance in Montevideo.
