The whole country was shocked by Peru's defeat against Australia on penalties, the 5-4 in favor of the oceanic team left us out of the 2022 World Cup Qatar and we lost the chance to go to our sixth World Cup in our history. This awakened the opinions of various characters in our soccer and one of them is 'Chorri' Palacios, who showed no sympathy for Ricardo Gareca's team.
"I believe they didn't realize the reality of what they were playing for," said the '10' who wore the colors of the Peruvian National Team in the 1990s - 2000s. Let's remember that many of the players were sloppy with the ball and there was no cohesion in the game to harm Australia.
On the other hand, Roberto Palacios affirms that "they had to give more than they gave. It's not to criticize them but it was a key and very important match". That's what the former footballer said, who was very dissatisfied with what was given in the national team.
Finally, the former Sporting Cristal player affirms that "those who had to have their best match, didn't do it". It is worth mentioning that a few months ago Roberto Palacios also had harsh words about the national team and received a harsh response from Renato Tapia.
