Sport Journalist Omar Ruiz de Somocurcio speaks out on Peru's sub-20 national team's failure

The sport journalist Omar Ruiz de Somocurcio commented on the failure of the Peruvian sub-20 national team, which yesterday suffered its third consecutive defeat by the minimum difference against Paraguay, being eliminated from the South American championship in the category with 0 points and with one match remaining.

Through Panamericana Televisión's TikTok account, the host of "Teledeportes" indicated that, among the many weaknesses of the team led by Jaime Serna, the lowest point for the "blanquirroja" was on the offensive side.

"The biggest disappointment, in my point of view, is Peru's attack. The coach never really found someone to lead the forward line, with players like Pineau and Goicochea who had a good reputation [...] they have had a very disappointing performance so far, with one match left against Argentina," he said in the video that you can watch in full by clicking here.

Inactivity

However, the media man added that inactivity due to the pandemic and other factors also affected the performance of this generation.

"A generation that has declined due to the pandemic, 2 years practically stopped because of Covid, let's hope they have a good year, make their debut in the professional first division, like important players such as Paolo and Farfán, who failed at that level and then blossomed, matured," he said.
