Jefferson Farfán Returns to Peru After Conquering Russia
Jefferson Farfán was warmly welcomed at Jorge Chávez airport. The Lokomotiv forward set foot on Peruvian soil after his triumph in Russia. The 'Foca' will join the national team's training at La Videna in the coming days, with the aim of participating in the 2018 World Cup.
After winning the championship with Lokomotiv, Jefferson Farfán was released by his club. Ricardo Gareca will have him in training in the coming days with the Peruvian national team. The 'Foca' is one of the regular players who will appear in the preliminary list that 'Tigre' will submit to FIFA.
"First, we must focus on getting my compadre Paolo Guerrero cleared. The rest is secondary. The coach is the one who decides," said Jefferson Farfán to the local press, when asked about the possible return of Claudio Pizarro.
Farfán received a lot of attention. He interacted with fans of the Peruvian national team, took photos with them, and then left the airport in his modern Porsche. The 'Foca' will enjoy his vacation in Lima and then join the national team's training camp.
