Morocco will be the rival of the Peruvian national team in Madrid. A team that is making a strong impact in the world, but sees us with a lot of respect.
"Peru is a great team, surely they will play a great match to show that they can beat big teams like us. That's why we want to play against them. Peru seems like a good team," said Walid Regragui, coach of the Lions of Atlas.
The coach assures that their fourth place in Qatar 2022 is not a mere coincidence, especially after beating the five-time world champion a few days ago.
"Especially with the victory against Brazil. Now it gives us a great boost. After the World Cup, many people may think it was luck, but with the Brazil match we showed that we are a team that deserves what we have done in the World Cup," expressed the coach.
They will suffer the absence of two of their best players due to injury. Defender Acraf Hakimi and midfielder Azzedine Ounahi will not be present at the Estadio Cívitas Metropolitano in Madrid.
