Before Ricardo Gareca arrived at the Peruvian National Team, he had an important stint at other institutions, one of them being Talleres de Córdoba, a club where he also coincided with current Cienciano forward, Danilo Carando.

And it is that the striker of the Cusco team mentioned that when he was 20 years old, he was in the lower divisions of 'T', but when the 'Tigre' came to see his qualities, he managed to promote him to the First Division of Argentine soccer.
Likewise, the forward revealed that one of the things he learned from Ricardo Gareca was to connect good headers, which is why he emphasized that the Argentine coach marked him in his early days as a footballer.
"I was lucky to have him when I was very young, he promoted me to the first team, he always told me that when the header comes, it must go to the goalkeeper's opposite leg. It's something I learned a lot from him, the header, he's a great person, a great professional and coach. He marked me," he said on GolPerú.
Carando wants Peru to win the playoff
Finally, Danilo Carando expressed his desire for the Peruvian National Team to face Australia in the playoff, because he feels that the Emirates would have a greater advantage due to the climate. However, he emphasized that Ricardo Gareca is a strategist and will be able to overcome this transcendental match to take us to the 2022 Qatar World Cup, something that he, despite being a foreigner, also hopes will happen.
"I think it would favor a little more to face Australia because the teams from Qatar would favor them due to the climate. Anyway, Gareca has shown that he is a great strategist, he manages the group very well, and I always see that all the players have many emotional words for him. Being a foreigner, I would like them to go to the World Cup," he concluded.
