Ricardo Gareca does not need Wikipedia

Peru already knows almost everything about him. We know that he was born in 1958, that he is an Aquarius, that his first position on a field was as a goalkeeper, that in 1995 he directed for the first time and that he is only afraid of one thing: losing his hair.

Even his superstitions are known: he has a phobia of the color green, he likes to take a picture with a girlfriend before every match, and he is one of those who mutes the volume every time a Marc Anthony song is heard. And, of course, beyond all that, he believes in work.

For example, since Wednesday - despite not having the complete group - he has already been working at Videna. Last Saturday, he played a small-sided game against the U20 national team. Gallese, Advíncula, Ramos, Araujo, Cartagena, Loyola, Aquino, Corzo, and Santamaría "moved" (Jairo Concha and Sebastián González also participated).

And while the coach was satisfied with the performance, the good news is that for this Monday, three key players will join: Jefferson Farfán, Christian Cueva, and Raúl Ruidíaz. In other words, they will not only work on defense but also on finishing.

The good thing is that everyone arrives with high morale (they are already in Lima). The 'Foquita' won a title with Lokomotiv, Christian Cueva became a father for the third time two days ago, and the 'Pulga' knows that he will be the only ace up his sleeve in the attack. Gareca is gradually getting his team together. The national team is being completed.
