"The best thing about this team has been the unity. Fortunately, this team has not relied on two or three players, there have been no 'fantastic' players on the field or 'magicians' on the bench. The star has been the unity of the team," said football coach Miguel Company.

Company, who also coached the national team in the 90's, considered that Peru should reflect the good performance shown in the friendly matches against Croatia and Iceland, "which were better than the final matches of the Qualifiers."

In fact, the coach expressed confidence that if Peru maintains this level, it will be able to qualify for the round of 16 in Russia 2018. "I'm realistic according to the opponents," highlighted the former coach.

However, Company - who was also the coach of the Cuban national team - considered that matches like tonight's should not be played "rough," as there is a risk of injury just before the tournament.
