Peru vs. Paraguay: the measure of the FPF to prevent the success of Uruguay prior to the match for Qatar 2022 Qualifiers

The Peruvian national team will face this Tuesday, March 29, against its Paraguayan counterpart in a commitment valid for the 18th date of the South American Qualifiers. There is no other objective of the 'bicolor' other than to win to secure its passage to the Qatar 2022 World Cup through the repechage. In this regard, the Peruvian Football Federation (FPF) would have taken an important step to avoid a controversial event such as that of Montevideo.

What is this measure? According to RPP Noticias, the main governing body of national football has decided to send a letter to CONMEBOL with the slogan of improving the development of the procedure with the VAR, which they believe ended up harming the 'bicolor' against the 'charrúas'.

In it, they point to a reflection before the main body of South American football on the functioning of the video arbitration system. More than anything, pointing out that the event where the referee Anderson Daronco was nothing but a purely objective fact, without the need for any interpretation as a foul or a hand within the area does require.

Now, this claim or suggestion specifically points to the role played by the quality manager in the matches, a CONMEBOL delegate who is always present at the qualifying matches and whose role is to be the link between the VAR cameras and the television cameras. That is, he had the power to decide that the repetition of the play on whether or not the ball entered the match between Peru and Uruguay should be reproduced on television. And although it was broadcast, they showed shots that left doubts, both in the journalists and in the fans and all those who could watch this controversial action.

And it is that the last match that the national team will play will be against the 'Guaraníes' at the National Stadium in Lima. With the World Cup qualification at stake, it is important that everything develops in the best way in order to avoid another controversial event. A victory is essential to achieve that pass to the repechage, so from the FPF they expect everything to come up normally.

Let's remember in the last match, Judge Daronco participated in a controversial event after failing to score a goal in favor of Peru in the final minutes of the match. Apparently, the VAR would have intervened, but as the cameras showed, the ball would not have fully entered. Also, the speed with which he decided despite not being in the best angle surprised more than one who expected him to resort to cameras to review carefully. This did not happen and the match ended in Uruguayan victory.

HOW PERU GETS TO PARAGUAY

At the moment, the 'bicolor' arrives with the only loss of André Carrillo for the duel of this Tuesday, March 29 against the 'Albirroja'. The winger of Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal suffered an injury to the 'charruas' in Montevideo and had to be changed after 65 minutes. The diagnosis determined that he suffers from a sprain in his left knee, so he was disaffected from the call.

The FPF has not announced the call of a new player to date, so everything would indicate that the replacement would be within the current squad, although it is also possible that Ricardo Gareca could vary the system to take the position at the far right and place one more interior steering wheel.

Likewise, Gianluca Lapadula would have played with some ankle discomfort against 'La Celeste'. This injury arose a couple of weeks ago with Italy's Benevento, which caused them to miss the match against Brescia for Serie B. However, he could be before Frosinone before joining the 'red white'. Although it would not be fully recovered and, although it is not serious, it is expected that 'Lapa' will be able to contribute as much as possible to the Paraguayans to realize that long-awaited access to the pre-World Cup repechage.
