Paolo Guerrero was one of the figures of the Peruvian national team in the last match against Chile in the semifinals of the Copa America 2019. Jorge Valdano, former Argentine player and coach, did not hesitate to praise the national forward, after his great performance in the match held at the Arena Do Gremio.
"In the Chile-Peru match, the figure of Paolo Guerrero (35 years old) emerged, who, amidst so much speed and friction, seemed to tell us, with every ball he touched, how to play football," he said in his column published in the newspaper 'El Pais'.

In addition, Valdano pointed out that the former Corinthians player could pause the game and from there, clarify the ideas in the attack of the Peruvian team.
"To put it more graphically, he did it in slow motion. He managed to clarify what was confusing and we, the spectators, reconciled with the most beautiful aspect of football, which is nothing more than seeing pure talent in action," said the Argentine columnist.
It should be noted that Paolo Guerrero is expected to be the main goal-scoring weapon this Sunday, in the Peru vs. Brazil match for the final of the Copa America 2019.
