The sports commentator, Óscar del Portal, asked Juan Reynoso not to think about the clubs when giving the list of called-up players.

Days before knowing the list of call-ups for the Peruvian national team, Óscar del Portal spoke during the "Football in America" program to address the coach of the Peruvian national team, Juan Reynoso.

Faithful to his style, the sports commentator was blunt in saying that the coach of the national team should not prioritize the needs of professional clubs, but rather those that concern the Peruvian national team.

"I only hope that Juan Reynoso, despite the pressure he will receive from various sides, calls up what he needs and does not think about what clubs need for the final stretch," Oscar del Portal said initially.

In the silence of the panelists of the "Football in America" program, Del Portal elaborated further on his idea and detailed that he had previously balanced the number of call-ups so that no club would be harmed. However, since these are Qualifiers matches, it is crucial that he focuses on calling up the best players from each squad, without considering whether there are more players from one team or another.

"I am more specific, many times, in preparatory matches, Reynoso played, intelligently, with the number of call-ups from one team or another to avoid affecting the championship race. I believe that today, as the national team coach, he has to prioritize the matches that the national team has in the Qualifiers. And if one team needs to be called up more than another, well, it will have to be. He has to stand by what he thinks, with what he knows he needs to face the Qualifiers, regardless of whether it theoretically harms one team or another," he added.
