Juan Reynoso lost in his debut as coach of the Peruvian national team against Mexico in a match in which the game of the Blanquirroja left a lot of material to analyze. After the match, the 'Ajedrecista' spoke at a press conference and showed satisfaction with what his team demonstrated and took away "positive feelings."
"Both teams were up to the task, we had 25 minutes of time that it took us to adapt to the field, but then we flowed more in our favor. I think we had more in the second half, but in general, we leave with conclusions and positive feelings,"
said the Peruvian coach.

The MLS defender expressed his impressions about the playing style implemented by Juan Reynoso. "We started playing as the coach wanted. The first half was a bit confusing, but in the second half it was much better: we started playing our game, having the ball and dominating more. But their goal came from a set piece, because they didn't have any other chances," he said to Movistar Deportes.

Fans criticize Juan Reynoso: "Pure defensive tactics"
Through social media, fans of the Bicolor expressed their dissatisfaction with the performance of the team led by Juan Reynoso.
"Very defensive Peru. Well, it was what was expected from Reynoso", "Reynoso is not the coach for Peru. Pure defensive tactics against a rival like Mexico, who is not great either. It's impossible not to think of regression", and "The best thing about the national team is when they remember a little how they played under Gareca. What Reynoso does is little or nothing," were some of the comments.
