Thinking about the match against Paraguay, for the last date of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers, Christian Cueva put up with comments against referee Anderson Daronco. All this after the controversy over the missed goal of the Peruvian national team at the Centenario Stadium in Montevideo.

“There are games where you play badly and you win... others where you play well and you lose. But we always have to see the mistakes and virtues during the match. That's why we're calm”

“On the goal play, from what I saw... I saw it. They won't tell me otherwise... I saw him after the game. But talking about it is difficult, because we players don't have a backing to claim”

“The referees always try to intimidate with a yellow or red one... it's hard. And as much as we speak with all the respect in the world, they don't listen to us. I don't know why. We were uncomfortable with the situation.”

“We saw the play, for us it's a goal. It is difficult to talk about the referees, because we are always intimidated by the situation when they try to shut us up”
