Juan Reynoso announced his first list of called-up players as coach of the Peruvian national team. However, the strategist surprised many with the inclusion of young midfielder Piero Quispe.
This decision shook public opinion, as there is a debate whether the presence of the offensive creator from Universitario de Deportes is fair or not. In that regard, sports journalist Gonzalo Núñez showed his disagreement with the inclusion of the "promising" player from the crema team.

The sports commentator referred to the local league players called up by 'El Cabezón'. But, true to his style, he targeted a specific player: Piero Quispe.
"There's Piero Quispe. I don't agree, he has played like 40 games and not even one goal. How many assists does he have? If he doesn't score goals and doesn't make assists, then what does he do? For me, Quispe has gone from more to less," he expressed.
Disagreeing, the lawyer also described the popular 'Pedri' as an inconsequential player who hides on the pitch.

"Quispe is an invention, for me he is an invention. I say this because when he has to deliver, nothing happens. He's a little guy who runs down the left, but... he's not even well built. If he were a great player, he would already be somewhere else. I don't see him making an impact internationally." "He hides, I think he's an inconsequential lefty. You'll see it in the national team, I bet," said the former host of "Fútbol en América."
Gonzalo Núñez to Julinho after Melgar's elimination: "You sold smoke like crazy"
What happened? Melgar was eliminated by 0-6 (aggregate score) against Independiente del Valle in the Copa Sudamericana. In that regard, Gonzalo Núñez had a tough confrontation with former athlete Julinho, who previously said that Rojinegro could turn around the score.
"Didn't you say it wasn't impossible, that faith moves mountains? Yesterday you sold smoke like crazy, you sold confusion. This is what you deserve (a smoke machine was placed on Julinho), go ahead, suffocate," the communicator began.

In response to this, the Brazilian said: "I trusted in the team, but they lost. As long as the match is being played, it can still happen. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose," he said.
