Pedro Aquino did not elaborate on the elimination of the southern team, which finished in sixth place after losing to Brazil. In the same vein, he did not give importance to the complaint filed by a Chilean lawyer with FIFA. "We don't get involved in what Chile is looking for," he pointed out.

On the other hand, the Peruvian National Team midfielder affirmed that the team respects New Zealand, regardless of not being a top team. "We cannot underestimate anyone," he emphasized.

The national team will face the Kiwis on November 10 and 15. First in Wellington and then in Lima. Two more finals that Ricardo Gareca's team will have to face.
