Cristian Benavente is one of the new additions to the Peruvian National Team for the international friendlies that will take place in November, against Colombia (which will be held in the United States) and Chile (which will take place in Lima), during the FIFA international break.
The 'Chaval' has found the desired consistency in Nantes FC, from the First Division of France, and has shown that he continues to grow. The 25-year-old forward hopes to take advantage of the new opportunity given to him by Ricardo Gareca in the 'bicolor' squad.
The call-up of Cristian Benavente to the Peruvian National Team is also justified by the good performance he shows with his new club, where he is already one of the most important offensive players.

Nantes FC's number 10 had participation in six of the eleven matches of Paris Saint Germain's runner-up in Ligue 1. In five of them, the auriverde squad achieved victory. And in the remaining match, it was the only one they lost with the 'Chaval' on the field.
