The Peruvian-Spanish, Christian Benavente, referred again to the Peruvian National Team and their qualification to the 2018 World Cup, this time for a well-known Spanish website where he talked about everything.
From his favorite position on the field to his professional relationship with the 'Captain' of the Peruvian National Team, Paolo Guerrero, were the answers that the player from Charleroi had. "I can play on the left or right because I can enter playing, but if I have to choose, I choose to be behind the striker" he confessed.
Dreams of going to Russia
Since the beginning of the qualifications, every player's dream was to go to the World Cup, that's why Christian Benavente is still thinking about performing well to be included in the list that will be published by Ricardo Gareca. "I know the group is already set, my teammates were the ones who qualified, but I still believe that I will be in Russia, I will wait until the final list is released." He also added that if he is not present in the squad, he wants to approach the Copa America 2019 and the next World Cup with optimism.
Has Gareca's support
The 'Chaval' believes that Ricardo Gareca's last visit to Belgium was key for his call-up in recent friendlies. "The trip from Peru to Belgium is long and it is positive for the coach to come, the last time he came we talked about my continuity and he told me what he is looking for in players."
