"I am not the one to answer if so and so should be in the national team, it is not my task. I am happy with those who go and it is not my place to express an opinion on the matter. The duty of all of us who are working in Peru, whether we are Peruvian or not, is to collaborate with the national team in any way we can," he said in a press conference.
"In this situation, getting into the territory of whether Juancito is there and Pedrito is not, would not contribute anything to the technical staff of the Peruvian national team and that is not the path I want to take. For me, all my players should be there, those who can be there, I always see them as the best and I believe in the ability of each and every one of them," he added.

"The team performed well and on a scale of 1 to 10, it is a 6 or higher. There were some players who were very close to a 10 and sometimes they are not the ones who stand out the most. I liked the team's performance... When you are in the position we are in, there is nothing better than getting the victory, but for that, we need to work and that's what we are going to do," said Fossati in a press conference.
