Paolo Guerrero started in the match between Avaí and Inter de Porto Alegre for the 23rd round of the Brasileirao. The Peruvian came close to scoring, but didn't succeed. Later, at minute 60, he left the field visibly uncomfortable.
The Peruvian played the second half with the intention of scoring, but didn't have great opportunities. He played only 15 minutes before being substituted by Pablo Dyego. The cameras of the TV broadcast showed the 'Predator' very frustrated as he left the field to go to the bench.
The national striker started and came to this duel with high spirits in order to get the three points to help his club get out of the relegation zone in the standings, and he was close to scoring his first goal with the white and blue jersey.
When the 20th minute of the first half was played, a ball reached the area from the right sector; however, just before the 'Predator' could connect it, goalkeeper Keiller made a remarkable effort to dive and stop the goal.
In the next round of the Brazilian Serie A, Avaí will have to visit Coritiba, in what will be a new opportunity for Paolo Guerrero to score his first conquest.
It is worth remembering that recently coach Eduardo Barroca had words of praise for the now number '99', stating that he is a top player for Brazilian football and that he needs to reach his 100% in order to shine like in the old days.
“Paolo Guerrero, spent a long time inactive, but he arrived here in very good physical condition, at that time we thought that football training was important for him and he has quickly had minutes with the team,” the Brazilian coach said in an interview with Willax Deportes.
“Guerrero trains very hard, with a lot of intensity with the group and having football helps him a lot. He is a player of a very high level, he is getting better every time and I think he is at a great level, I have no doubts that he can play for the national team,” he emphasized.
