This Friday, June 7, the peruvian team will face its similar Paraguay at 7:30 p.m. local time at the Monumental Stadium, in a friendly preparation for the Copa América that will be played in the United States.
It will be the third game he will direct Jorge Fossati as DT of the ‘bicolor‘, and, unlike his first clashes against Nicaragua and Dominican Republicthis time they face a more demanding rival, so there is great expectation of the team’s performance.
The Uruguayan coach will once again implement a 3-5-2 formation, a system that he has used for almost his entire career and that he hopes to put into practice at the head of the ‘red and white‘. In addition, to the already known casualties of Christian Cueva and Alex Valerais added that of Bryan Reyna, who has some discomfort and prefer not to risk it. In this context, the alignment that the national team will present will be the following:
The arch is the position that generates the least doubts. Pedro Gallese, who arrives at a good time from Orlando City of the MLS, will remain between the three sticks. Diego Romero and Carlos Cáceda remain waiting.
The line of three will be made up of Carlos Zambrano through the middle, Aldo Corzo as right center back and Alexander Callens to the left. It should be noted that both the ‘Kaiser‘ as the ‘Muelite‘, they are used to performing this function, because they fulfill it in Alianza Lima and Universitario, clubs that also play with three at the back.
In the wingers there would be a great novelty, since, in the last training sessions, Luis Advíncula He was used on the left wing, when his usual profile is the right. Likewise, the right side will be covered by Andy Polofootballer of the confidence of the ‘Skinny‘, who brought out his greatest potential last year in the ‘OR‘, precisely in that area, and who has managed to maintain that level, to the point of being chosen best player in the Apertura Tournament. In this way, Marcos López, a left-handed winger by nature, but who is not going through his best football moment, will remain on the substitute bench, the same case as Oliver Sonne.
In the center of the field, Renato Tapia, who was not in the first friendlies due to injury, will occupy the position of first-line midfielder. The interior on the left will be Piero Quispehaving a great season in Pumas UNAM of Mexico, while on the right, he would go Andre Carrillo. The ‘Snake‘She is no stranger to this position, although almost her entire career she has acted as a winger or forward, currently in Al-Qadisiya in Saudi Arabia they give her that more focused role. Other alternatives to his area are Wilder Cartagena and Sergio Peña.
The front is the area that presents the greatest uncertainty. Bryan Reyna is confirmed out due to injury, so the attacking duo would be Paolo Guerrero with Gianluca Lapadula. However, the ‘Predator’ has just recovered from an injury that prevented him from playing the entire month of March, while the ‘Tano‘He missed Wednesday’s practice due to some discomfort. José Rivera and Edison Flores are waiting.
In Paraguay, the training used Daniel Garnero Before traveling to Lima it was a 4-4-2 distributed as follows:
Carlos Coronel is in the arch. A line of 4 composed of Iván Ramírez at right back, Gustavo Gómez and Omar Alderete as a central duo and Junior Alonso on the left.
The midfielders were Andrés Cubas and Mathías Villasanti on the first line, leaving Miguel Almirón and Ramón Sosa more loose. Likewise, Julio Enciso will be up front with Adam Bareiro.
