Sebastien Gerard Pineau Flores is a 19-year-old football player who plays as a forward and, due to his great scoring ability, has been in the sights of the Peruvian and Chilean national teams. He has even worn both shirts in friendly matches and in the microcycles they have had.

Why has he played for two countries? The striker, like Gianluca Lapadula, has more than one nationality, but in his case, he has three: Peruvian, French, and Chilean. That is, he could defend any of those flags; however, he recently confirmed to Gustavo Roverano, coach of Peru's U-20 team, that he will play for the Blanquirroja.
