In Peru, we believed that Pione Sisto, the figure of Celta de Vigo and one of the best footballers in Denmark, was one of the fixed players for the debut of the Europeans. However, it is not so. In fact, hours before the World Cup debut, the 23-year-old player's starting position is not secure.
The last friendlies of Denmark, in which Sisto simply disappeared, worried his coach and gave chances to the natural substitute of the winger, Martin Braithwaite. However, the Celta player confessed to being ready to show a completely different face against Peru.

"I understand well that I have not played my best games against Sweden and Mexico. I have been concerned about a minor Achilles tendon injury and, of course, nervous about not arriving at the World Cup 100%," said Sisto.
"It will be a completely different Pione Sisto against Peru, I am focused on making a good debut if I get to play. Although Martin (Braithwaite) has done very well, as well as Viktor Fischer. It is a great competition for the starters. I am used to being challenged like this," the Danish winger added.

Pione Sisto is a big question mark for Denmark to face the Peruvian National Team, but anyway the coach, Age Hareide, will have a few more hours to define the winger who will try to harm Peru.
