Bernardo Cuesta is one of the most important forwards in Peruvian football in recent years, and this is because he has made a difference in FBC Melgar at the local and international level.
This has even led him to obtain Peruvian nationality and open the possibility of representing the Peruvian national team, which is why the Argentine did not hesitate to talk about this interesting topic.
It turns out that, as soon as he arrived in Lima for the next match that Melgar has against Sport Boys, the 34-year-old striker stated that he would have no problems playing for the national team, but that is something he does not think much about because his main goal is to obtain good results with the Arequipa team.
Therefore, Cuesta emphasized that if he has the opportunity to be called up by coach Juan Reynoso, he would not close the doors for anything in the world, but if not, he will continue to support the national team.
"My goal is to do things well in FBC Melgar, that will bring whether I am called up or not, but the main thing is to do things well here. Each person has their feelings, some try to show it on the field and I do it with Melgar. Then, what will come, if it comes (a call-up) that would be welcome, if not, we have to keep working to continue doing things in the best way possible. It is a dream, but as I said before, if the call-up comes, welcome it, if not, keep supporting the national team", he said to the press.

Bernardo Cuesta was asked about Juan Reynoso
Likewise, Bernardo Cuesta was asked about his opinion of Juan Reynoso and stressed that he is an important person for what he did in Arequipa with Melgar, but he explained that now as the coach of Peru, he should be supported at all times. "We know what Juan Reynoso means to Arequipa, but today he is in a different position and we must support the national team," he said.
