The Peruvian national team has been heavily criticized under Juan Reynoso's command due to one of their main flaws being the offense, to the point that in four matches the team only had one shot on goal. In that sense, many fans noticed that on several occasions the ball returned to the feet of Pedro Gallese in the goal instead of advancing towards the opponent's goal.

It is under this premise that Juan Máximo Reynoso addressed this issue in an interview with Diego Rebagliati, where he also stated that he has studied changes in the Peruvian national team's attack. The national strategist was asked why the ball returned to Pedro Gallese, something that was also seen in corner kicks during offense.
"I won't blame anyone," stated the coach of the Peruvian national team, avoiding going into detail, although it is true that he will need to be much more offensive in the matches against Bolivia and Venezuela if he wants to obtain the six points and stay alive in the 2026 Qualifiers, otherwise he could leave his position.
