Last week, Piero Quispe was called up again for the Peruvian National Team with a view to the double date (against Chile and Argentina), being left out of the final squad on both occasions by Juan Reynoso's decision. While the Universitario de Deportes player was saddened by not playing minutes with the national team, he doesn't lose patience to step onto the field with the Peruvian shirt, although he knows that it is not a priority these days, when the opportunity to fight for the national title with his team is at stake.
"What happened with the Peruvian National Team is in the past, my turn will come and only God knows when. Now, I am focused on Universitario de Deportes," said the player from the student team to the media at the Jorge Chávez International Airport, where he arrived with the rest of the squad for the trip to Cusco.
On the other hand, Quispe analyzed what could be the match against Cusco FC this Saturday, which will be crucial for Jorge Fossati's aspirations, who will have to take the three points if they don't want to put the top spot at risk.
"I'm fine, calm. It's a difficult match, but we are going to approach it with the same mentality as the previous ones. We want to win it for ourselves, for the family that is always there, and for the fans," added the midfielder of the merengue team.
This is the complete team for Universitario vs. Cusco FC
Universitario de Deportes will visit Cusco FC at the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega Stadium. Diego Haro was chosen as the referee for this match, which will start at 8:00 p.m. this Saturday and will be valid for the penultimate round of the Clausura Tournament. Note that the merengues are at the top of the Clausura Tournament with 35 points, while the imperial team is in 12th place with 17 points.
The referee will be accompanied by Michael Orué (first assistant), Vidal Aguilar (second assistant), Kevin Maxdeo (fourth official), Sebastián Lozano (VAR), Johny Voseo (AVAR), and Carmen Retuerto (advisor) in the clash for the Liga 1 Betsson.
