The Reynoso era in the Peruvian national team started with defeat
The last Saturday, the team of 'Cabezón' lost 1-0 against Mexico in an international friendly played in the United States, a match for which Miguel Trauco was not present, despite which he became a trend on social networks once the game finished.
Given the discreet performance of the left-back Marcos López, the fans of the Blanquirroja compared his game with that of the current San Jose Earthquakes player, and even asked for his return to the national team.
"So many criticisms to Marcos López and he didn't even deliver a clean pass, he didn't make a single forward pass and lost the ball in attack for Mexico's counterattack, and to make matters worse, he lost Lozano's mark for Mexico's goal. The truth is, give me back Trauco. Sad," could be read among the tweets.

"Those who criticized Trauco, I imagine they will now also be criticizing López, right? That left flank is a highway," is another comment.

"He was supposed to be good at marking and that's what differentiated him from Trauco, because if not, Trauco better stay," expresses a fan.
