The Peruvian National Team will be in Russia 2018 thanks to the unity of the players. That was the key factor for their qualification, according to Nolberto Solano. Ricardo Gareca's assistant said that forming a group was decisive to reach the World Cup.

"If you don't form a group, when individually you don't have a large universe of players, it becomes impossible to qualify. Ricardo Gareca was able to achieve that and convinced the Peruvian player that they had potential. Without a team, you don't achieve anything. That's how we accomplished this feat," he said on the program 'El Enganche' of Spain Media Radio.

Nolberto Solano affirmed that the psychological aspect has also been crucial. "The main thing was not burdening ourselves with something that hasn't been our responsibility," he said in relation to the years that the national team failed to qualify for the World Cup.

The popular 'Ñol' said that he remained with the thorn of not qualifying for a World Cup as a player. "But this is football, there are superstars who haven't been able to play in a World Cup. But there are always second chances and being part of this coaching staff will give me that opportunity," he said.

The member of the technical staff of the Peruvian National Team said that the fans are happy with the qualification but always demand more. "Now people are asking to advance past the first round. This is football, the fan will always demand more," he concluded.
