The Peruvian national team returns from the Copa America

The Peruvian national team returned from the Copa America with their heads held high, as the team led by Ricardo Gareca achieved second place in the tournament organized by Conmebol and won the affection of the entire Peruvian crowd. The performance of Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero was good as in previous Copa America editions.

However, at 35 years old, he is nearing retirement from football and especially from the national team. Therefore, the national squad needs to find a perfect replacement for the 'Predator' and with Raúl Ruidiaz, Jefferson Farfán, and other players, it does not seem sufficient.

Former goalkeeper of the national team, Ramon Quiroga, referred to the issue and explained why it is taking so long for the 'blanquirroja' (Peruvian national team) to find the replacement for the striker. "Paolo is a monster, we don't have another one. Others don't appear because he is a starter and it is very difficult for another forward to come in," said the popular 'Loco' on 'Al Ángulo'.

Finally, the panelist on Movistar Deportes indicated that Guerrero is a different forward and that for many years no one has been found to replace him. "In 90% of the Qualifiers, Paolo played and it is very difficult for him to be replaced and others to be tested," he concluded.
