Peru vs. Uruguay: journalist 'charrua' praised the 'bicolor' and explained the key players of 'La Celeste'

The Peruvian national team will play an important commitment in the condition of a visit to its Uruguayan counterpart valid for the 17th day of the South American Qualifiers. For no team will it be a simple duel due to the dispute that is the qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup. By the way, journalist Valentina Rossi spoke about the 'bicolor', which she praised for her collective and highlighted some players. In addition, he referred to the key elements in the rebound of 'La Celeste'.

First of all, the national team will not have two players who have marked an era in Peruvian football such as Paolo Guerrero and Jefferson Farfan. However, coach Ricardo Gareca has been able to find a good performance that has excelled individuals.

“Peru doesn't have those two players who are very important and benchmarks, but journalists (in Uruguay) also look at the rest of the players. He has Gallese who is a very solid and firm goalkeeper. As technical director to Gareca who is a person who is very respected. The entire Peruvian national team is very respected. We look mostly at speed, the aerial game that some Peruvian players have. Gareca has empowered the Peruvian national team. It's going to be a very difficult match. We are both fighting for something very important,” he said in an interview for GOLPERU.

And the fact is that the 'bicolor' has managed to overcome these absences. The 'Tigre' worked hard in the collective so that he can get the team to compete equally with other teams. Now, it should also be noted that the figure of Pedro Gallese has more than fulfilled every time it has been demanded of him. It has appeared at key moments, where the history of a party could have changed. For this reason, it is also responsible for keeping Peru alive in the qualifying process.

KEY PLAYERS IN URUGUAY

On the other hand, Valentina also spoke to Facundo Pellistri, a 20-year-old player who was included in the last double date by Diego Alonso. This caused a lot of astonishment in the Uruguay environment, as he has not been standing out in his club, Deportivo Alavés from Spain, but he still did not disagree and provided 1 assist against Venezuela after an impressive individual play . “It's something that caught our attention. A player who has only a few minutes played in his club and who goes to the title. If I see him as a starter (against Peru), he performed well against Venezuela much more than against Paraguay. He adapted to the game of his teammates, to the rhythm. Alonso saw that level in him and that is why it is his bet. He has that freshness of a youth that those with experience do not have it,” explained the communicator who works on the program of her country “Football Night”.

Finally, he did not leave out two players who are key players in the cog of the celestial squad: Federico Valverde and Rodrigo Bentancur. “They are two very neat players. They have also been criticized, but Valverde is very good. In low plays, win duels, shots, dribble the ball. He is a fundamental player for Uruguay and if he is missing it is noticeable. He has played very good games, he assists his teammates, he is very solid on the court. He has grown a lot physically and mentally since he left Peñarol,” he concluded.

The two footballers have seen their figures grow since Alonso took the technical direction of 'La Celeste'. Practically, they are the axis and where the game of their team is born, being backed by a brand steering wheel like Lucas Torreira, who is in charge of foul play. In fact, this midfield would play against Peru, so Gareca would already have them in his sights to cancel them.
