Children's Day is celebrated in our country, and the date is the perfect excuse to remember the childhood of Peruvian soccer players who now stand out abroad or in the local tournament. Because even the greats were once children.
In this photo gallery, we remember, for example, Jefferson Farfan, Paolo Guerrero, Claudio Pizarro, Cristian Benavente, Salomon Libman, Yordy Reyna, Renato Tapia, Juan Vargas, Pierr Larraui, among other Peruvian footballers.
Each of them, since childhood, has been linked to football, their passion. And the photographs we show prove that their passion for soccer has become a profession, which has also seen the light of national representation.
From Jefferson Farfan, Paolo Guerrero (at Alianza Lima), Claudio Pizarro (at Cantolao) to Cristian Benavente (with his suit ready to dance huayno) and Salomon Libman (also at Cantolao). Here is the gallery of Peruvian footballers who were also once children.
