"He is a great player, with a lot of quality and intelligence,"
That's what Kaká said when he played for Orlando City, about Yoshimar Yotun. The Brazilian became a fan of the Peruvian. He always looked for him to celebrate a goal and posted photos with him. The number 10 knew that after his retirement, 'Yoshi' would become a reference for Orlando.
And Kaká was not wrong. The left-footed player has become undisputed for the team: eight games in the season (all as a starter). In fact, yesterday he scored against Colorado Rapids and matched his best record in a foreign league: he scored two goals with Malmo Sweden last year. "He is a very solid and consistent player. He will serve us a lot during the season," said Jason Kreis, his coach.
Therefore, just as he is a leader in his team, Yotun has to be aware that he is a fixed player for the national team. In midfield, giving the team an outlet, there is no one like him. That's why he is the third player with the most appearances in the 'Gareca era' (31). Only behind Christian Cueva (37) and Pedro Gallese (32). Paolo Guerrero is fourth (30).
The World Cup is getting closer, and 'Yoshi' has the mission of shining in three more matches with Orlando before joining the national team completely. Just as he predicted in a prediction game held by his club, Yotun imagines himself giving a dance to Germany in the final. Of course, we must dream. That left foot has to be 'sweet'.
