“We are very convinced of our ability, we are preparing for this, we value being in this situation,” Gareca said at a press conference, noting that the team is ready for the decisive match for a place in the World Cup in Qatar. .
He added that the team will play with the confidence of its fans, who believe in their players and said that the red and white team is confident in its chances against a contender who will seek the same goal.
Gareca also said that Australia is a well-prepared team that knows what it wants on the pitch and “we have to be very careful, we have to be in control.”
Regarding the Australian offense, the coach who is looking to lead his team to a World Cup for the second time in a row, is a team that attacks with many men, so the Peruvian defense must form blocks to contain them.
He confirmed that Peru’s right back, Luis Advíncula; and midfielder Renato Tapia are recovered from recent injuries and will play tomorrow, while, if a slight condition prevents fellow midfielder Yoshimar Yotún from playing, Cristofer Gonzales is in a position to replace him.
“I have had important moments in my life, but this is a beautiful opportunity, a World Cup is a privilege, it is an extraordinary moment in my career that we want to take advantage of,” he said.
Gallese, for his part, stated that he already sees himself celebrating because he trusts the team and for what it has sacrificed, because “it has cost us to get to this moment and we are not going to let it go.”
“Neither one of them has the advantage, it’s a unique match, an even and difficult match. Both them and us have prepared very well, it’s a game in which a lot is played, for all of us it’s the most important game of our lives and we’re going to treat it as such”.
Peru and Australia met in the initial round of the 1018 World Cup in Russia, with a 2-0 victory for the rojiblancos and in tomorrow’s game they will be veterans of that game.
Tomorrow’s game will define the last place for the Qatar World Cup, which will be played from November 21 to December 18, and the last place will be disputed, also here, next Tuesday by the teams of Costa Rica and New Zealand.
