In one moment, it was noticed that at the start of the second half Guerrero was not on the substitute bench. Players like Andy Polo and Anderson Santamaría were sitting after being substituted, but the captain of the national team was absent.

This fact has generated many doubts among the fans, as the reason why Paolo Guerrero did not appear on the bench is unknown. The captain should have been encouraging his teammates throughout the second half, but he remained in the locker rooms.

"What happened? Paolo Guerrero decided to stay in the locker rooms after being replaced by Juan Reynoso", said journalist Erick Osores.

Juan Reynoso became a trending topic due to controversial statements in a press conference. One of the topics discussed was regarding Paolo Guerrero, indicating that he needed players with greater mobility. Could this be one of the reasons why the 'Predator' was absent?

"We need someone who has mobility and goes out to play, we weren't playing between the lines, we were too far apart and that's why we decided to substitute Paolo Guerrero. It truly hurts me to take Paolo Guerrero out but we believed it was the best for the team. The team reinvented itself but it still wasn't enough", said Juan Reynoso.

According to journalist Gustavo Peralta from Líbero, Paolo Guerrero returns today, Wednesday, October 18, at night to Quito to join his Liga de Quito team for the Copa Sudamericana final.
