"I had a very brief conversation with Paolo (Guerrero) in the hotel before the trip. I noticed him upset, but optimistic. There is tranquility, we are all with him. We will wait for the resolutions, and have him back very soon," said Gareca.
True to his style, he did not want to go into more detail about the case of the captain of our national team. In addition, the 'Tigre' commented about the opponent and showed a lot of respect for the local team.
"New Zealand is a good team. We have to be cautious, they know what they are doing," he added.
CONFERENCE FROM WELLINGTON
Another important issue is whether he will include Jefferson Farfán as the lone forward of the team, a position usually occupied by Paolo Guerrero. "Farfán has important current form, he has established himself as a '9'. He is a reference of the national team," he said.
Before ending the dialogue with the press, he expressed his gratitude to all Peruvian fans for their support. "What is seen in all airports, in the stadiums, is impressive. We are extremely grateful to them."
The Peruvian national team arrived in Wellington with a touching reception from Peruvians who waited long hours before and after their entrance.
A large number of Peruvians will accompany them in the stands in this match, which is the most important in the last 35 years for our football.
