The realization of the Copa América has generated great uncertainty and criticism in the world of football, especially after it was confirmed that the contest will be played in Brazil, one of the countries most affected by the coronavirus pandemic worldwide.
Ricardo Gareca, coach of the Peruvian national team, spoke at a press conference, where he annoyed by the supposed lack of seriousness with which the competition has been organized that would originally be played in Colombia and Argentina:
“The Copa América is not really planned or something that we South Americans really deserve, this is happening, this uncertainty in the countries and in everything. The only thing I can say is that”, commented the DT.
El Tigre also referred to the decision that the prestigious tournament be held in Brazil. “All of South America is in trouble. I don’t think there is a country in South America that has no problems with the pandemic. It does not seem to me that the Copa América takes place in the country where it was previously played, not so much because of the pandemic. The pandemic is everywhere. “
Finally, the experienced strategist of the Peruvian team made it clear that, for now, his squad will not refuse to play the Copa América, but he did clarify that for them it will not be a priority.
