Despite being 39 years old, forward Paolo Guerrero will be the main goal scorer for the Peruvian national team in these upcoming crucial matches against Argentina and Chile for the World Cup qualifiers, so the criticisms for his age have been put aside due to the great performance he has shown in recent days with LDU de Quito.

And about this scenario, former Alianza Lima and Chilean national team player Rodrigo Pérez wanted to speak, who addressed the critics of 'Depredador' to emphasize that he is still relevant.
In addition, the so-called 'Ratón' affirmed that the attacking player of the national team has a lot of hierarchy, but he also pointed out that there will eventually be a natural generational change.
"Journalism is the one that retires players, but Paolo Guerrero has shown that he is still relevant. Whether you are 15 or 40 years old, quality will always be there. Guerrero is a player with a lot of hierarchy. Generational changes happen naturally.", he said in an interview with Willax Deportes.
"The matches between Peru and Chile are very intense, with a lot of strong tackles. It is said to be a war, but it's just a soccer match between two teams that need to win," he stated.
The former footballer Rodrigo Pérez played 32 matches with the Chilean national team, being part of the 1995 Copa America, the qualifiers for the 2006 Germany World Cup, and several friendly matches.
