Peruvian National Team | César Cueto on his 72nd birthday: his opinion on the bicolor and support for Piero Quispe | Sports | FOOTBALL-PERUVIAN

Today, Sunday June 16, is not only Father’s Day, but also Father’s 72nd birthday. Cesar Cueto, one of the most talented soccer players that Peruvian soccer had. Possessor of an immortal left foot, which made him shine with his own light when he wore the jerseys of the Peruvian National Teamof Lima Alliance and Atlético Nacional, the ‘Poeta’ – who is in Piura sharing a religious mission – spoke with Depor and told us the following: “Thank you twice for the greeting.”

From a distance, follow the game of Peruvian National Teamwho defeated El Salvador 1-0 last Friday night, in the last friendly preparation with a view to the debut in the Copa América. “I wish the National Team all the best. “Let them play great games in the Copa América”, he assured. Be careful, everyone’s team shares a group with Chile, Canada and Argentina.

Of course, while analyzing Jorge Fossati’s team, the World Cup winner from Argentina 1978 and Spain 1982, he supported the work of Piero Quispe, who has been questioned lately. “They just hit him. Piero is the starting ’10’. He only needs an ‘8’ to accompany him. By having a player with those characteristics, he will help him a lot in his marking and Piero will expose his best potential with the ball.”he said in an interview with Sport.

For the ‘Poeta’, the Pumas de México midfielder has much more to give to the Peruvian National Team. “He is a great player, but sometimes he makes a very long journey. Already with an ‘8’ that he has good football and helps in the brand, he will complement him in the organization of football… it will improve his game”he pointed.

Cesar Cueto He also asked that no comparisons be made between Piero Quispe’s game and any other player on the Peruvian National Team. “Piero plays very well, but one player does not do everything. Don’t hit him. He plays very well, he is a starter, he just needs to improve his game through an ‘8’, as I have been saying. An ‘8’ who comes to play with Piero so that they can feed the forwards.”

Luxury invitation in Medellín

César Cueto told Sport that the first week of July he will travel to Medellín to be honored by Atlético Nacional, as one of the club’s legends of all time. As it is remembered, the former player wore the shirt of the Colombian club between 1979 and 1983, where he was national champion in 1981. His football and quality of person left such an impression that fans of all ages idolize him and remember him with great affection. .

The ‘Poeta’ was also national champion with América de Cali, in 1984. At the same time, he defended the colors of Deportivo Pereira (1986) and Cúcuta Deportivo (1987). “I am always grateful to all the Colombian people”the former player of the red and white team told us.
