After several weeks of uncertainty, rumors, back and forth, and much focus on who entered and left Videna, Ricardo Gareca announced the official list of players who will face the continental playoff. It was presumed that it could be a long list, and so it was. There are 28 called, who will have the complex task of taking Peru to its second consecutive World Cup. A feat that only happened between Argentina 1978 and Spain 1982.
The call-up of the Tiger to the Peruvian national team confirmed an open secret: neither Jefferson Farfán nor Paolo Guerrero are in a condition to be selectable and will have to get ready to dream of a place in future calls.
"Come by 1000" is the video column by journalist Jorge Barraza in DT El Comercio, and on this occasion, he analyzes in detail Ricardo Gareca's latest call-up, prior to the playoff on June 13, a decisive day for the Peruvian national team on the road to Qatar 2022.
