Peru vs. Argentina: Preparations for the Upcoming Match
At Videna, there are no surprises expected for the Peru vs. Argentina match. Therefore, considering the transcendental game on Thursday, October 5th at La Bombonera, they want to make sure that no detail is overlooked.
Taking as a reference what happened in the 1990 World Cup between Argentina and Brazil, where Branco drank water from a bottle contaminated with rohypnol to diminish his performance, the Peruvian delegation will take precautions and bring their own water bottles.
"That is correct. It used to be almost a frequent occurrence, but now the hotels protect their reputation. Regardless, we are taking precautions," said Jorge Alva, the doctor of the Peruvian national team, to "Nacional Deportes La Cátedra".
The Peru vs. Argentina match will take place on Thursday, October 5th at La Bombonera for the penultimate round of the 2018 Russia Qualifiers. The Peruvian team is in fourth place with 24 points, while the Argentina team is in fifth place with the same number of points but fewer goals.
