Edison Flores about Denmark: "Physically, they're brutal"

The 'Orejas' is already in Videna. He arrived on Tuesday night and on Wednesday, very early in the morning, he joined the training of the Peruvian national team.

Edison Flores is one of the key players for Ricardo Gareca. He scored five goals in the Qualifiers (the most remembered and important against Ecuador in Quito) and, since he was a starter in the Copa América Centenario, nobody has replaced him.

In Denmark, where he plays, he is not as much of a scorer as in Peru. However, he has more assists. Flores knows the Danes well, who are "physically brutal" in the words of the Aalborg player.

"The Danish player is very mentally strong. They are also physically brutal. They work hard on that there. In the technical aspect, they are growing very fast. But we know that the Danish player is not born with much ball play and technically we are a little better," said 'Orejas' to Movistar Deportes.

In the practice on Wednesday, Ricardo Gareca carried out tactical work already thinking about the match against Scotland on Tuesday, May 29. On that day, the Estadio Nacional will be filled to say goodbye to the footballers, who will debut against Denmark on June 14 in the Mordovia Arena in the Russian city of Saransk.

Flores participated in the practice and spoke about how it was to play with Advincula and Abram as full-backs.

"On the field, many positions are worked on. The coach works with different variations. I already know them and try to take advantage of them. If the full-back is fast or, on the contrary, has good ball touch, I try to adapt to both things."
