After Carlos Caceda's cancellation, it was decided to call up Alianza Lima's goalkeeper Ángelo Campos for Peru vs. Venezuela. After learning this news, the player's mother dedicated some emotional words to him on her social media and wished him much more success in his life.
"Summer of 1999, Ángelo Campos, you as a six-year-old forward goal scorer. One year later, at seven, you decided to be a goalkeeper (in this world where everyone wants to be forwards, we were surprised by your decision); 20 years of the road and I know it was not easy. Being a football player is not just about talent, it is hard work and a lot of perseverance. Your effort and professionalism are rewarded today," she begins.
"God is always good, He does not take anyone's work for granted. I thank Him for your life, the universe for continuing to conspire in your favor, the angels and archangels for always being present. I love you, son. Congratulations on this call-up, may the successes continue and may God always be anchored in your life," she continues.
