No margin for error, 'Tigre' Ricardo Gareca will go all out in the duel in Lima against Chile for the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. For the coach of the Peruvian National Team, it is a very decisive match that they cannot fail in and where there is nothing more than the word: victory. Peru has 8 points in 9 played matches and they are definitely looking to add 3 more.
In a press conference, Ricardo Gareca responded to the doubts of the journalists and when asked about the duel against Chile, the coach of the Peruvian National Team said: "The match against Chile is decisive. It will be a very attractive encounter because both teams have a lot at stake."
Both Peru and Chile are not doing well in the standings but in the Peruvian National Team there is hope because we are currently better positioned in the table as well as in the FIFA ranking, and hopefully we can demonstrate that on the field as well. In addition, it is the opportune moment to take advantage as Chile will not have Arturo Vidal, who is known to be the number 1 reference on the field.
The team led by Martín Lasarte is currently in eighth position in the standings for the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers with only 7 points. In their last matches, they lost 0-1 to Brazil in Santiago, drew 0-0 with Ecuador in Quito, and lost 3-1 to Colombia in Barranquilla; all in the last triple round of qualifiers.
