Orlando City technician on Gallese: "He is an example for the younger ones."

Despite only getting one point in the first double matchday of the 2026 Qualifiers, the overall feeling is positive, as the Peruvian National Team showed more defensive solidity, but needs improvement in the offensive part. One of the pillars of the white and red team was precisely Pedro Gallese, who with his saves allowed us to draw against Paraguay and only lose by a minimal difference against Brazil. His coach at Orlando City, Oscar Pareja, was attentive to both matches and did not hesitate to highlight the level and hierarchy that 'El Pulpo' has.

The Colombian strategist referred to the national goalkeeper and also to the midfielder Wilder Cartagena, with whom he works at the MLS club and whom he knows firsthand. First of all, he highlighted the maturity of the former Alianza Lima goalkeeper and assured that he is among the best in the South American Qualifiers towards the next World Cup.
