The game had to show improvements. After the match with Chile, we couldn’t be worse. Of course, in front of us was the current world champion, with Messi, De Paul, Dibu and other stars, and a defeat was within the calculations, we must not be naive, although the football galaxy offers those parallel realities; Whatever the case: it was lost and Blanquirroja only has one point in four dates of this eliminatory process.
Capt. first stage. Then the Argentines began to slow down the Peruvian pace and the local public was able to see two good goals (32′ and 42′) from the Argentine star, perhaps the best soccer player in history, for whom this is his last pre-World Cup match.
For the second half, Reynoso had Grimaldo, Trauco, Tapia and Reyna enter, Guerrero among those who left. The start was similar to the beginning of the game: fast, challenging, but with the difference that it only lasted five minutes. There was no head to guide the players on the field, Advíncula unrecognizable in the last two dates, is his mind on the Final of the Copa Libertadores? For this reason, Argentina lateralized its football, it knew it had the points, it played on a whim because a disorderly Blanquirroja allowed it.
The person responsible for this disaster is none other than Juan Reynoso, and also his technical command (which is having trouble). This meeting with Argentina was the icing on the cake, the watermark that his mistakes required and the definitive proof that the position of coach of the Peruvian Soccer Team was too big for him.
At CARETAS we have said it: there are six direct places for the 2026 Soccer World Cup and a playoff. In the best of cases, there would be seven South American countries classified. An opportunity like this will not arise again. The worst thing is not that we are in situations similar to the beginning of the last two pre-World Cup rounds, but that there is not the slightest idea of what Peru is playing. That’s why the comparisons with Gareca: playing well or badly, Blanquirroja had a game criterion that Reynoso should have reinforced and not destroyed. None of his approaches have worked and it is clear that the group of players does not find motivation (that is the Peruvian footballer) in his words, and they have stopped taking him seriously: the lie about Ruidíaz’s position in Brazil’s goal and the call of Oliver Sonne, whom he never put in having requested that his documentary procedures be expedited to join the Blanquirroja. They are not minor facts.
Having an idea of the game was what determined Gareca to have continuity. Although these qualifying rounds were announced as complicated, Peru can still try to qualify, but not with Juan Reynoso as coach of the Selection. The players need another coach, who calms positions to commit them, because that is how Peruvian soccer is managed, in this way its protagonists are empowered. There is no time to transform our football even in the medium term.
