Three crystal hearts and a liqueur made of Tyrolean honey bees were delivered today to Paolo Guerrero by the Peruvian Cultural Association in Tyrol, during the second day of training for the national team held at Sport Arena in Bludenz, Austria.
Diana Mendoza, the organization president (and former school correspondent for El Comercio), was in charge of giving the gifts to the captain of the national team, in recognition of the enormous work carried out by the team led by Ricardo Gareca to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
