"We are eager for the matches to arrive, everyone is dying for everything to start again," said coach Hansi Flick in his country. His team, his national team, will seek to wash their face after being eliminated from Qatar 2022 in the group stage, a tragedy that already happened to them in Russia 2018.
In this regard, Juan Reynoso, coach of the Peruvian national team, had already given clues about what was coming. In the presentation of the new adidas jersey of the Blanquirroja, the coach pointed out that they were about to close friendlies and that he was looking for them to "show the real level of the national team". There is even a latent rumor that the next opponent for the March FIFA date will be Morocco, the surprise of the last World Cup.
The much-anticipated Peru vs. Germany will be played on March 25 in Mainz. That is, in two months. And amidst the conflicts surrounding the Liga 1, which has not yet started, fans wonder how the summoned players will arrive. In addition, the days without a team for Christian Cueva are also a concern.
But beyond the future, it is also necessary to review the background to understand the significance of this match. Both teams have faced each other twice: the first in the Mexico 70 World Cup, and the second in a friendly match in 2018. Below we review the history of both encounters.
