The national squad arrives at this game with the possibility of getting a place in the playoffs for the World Cup in Qatar. The bad results against Uruguay, Ecuador and Peru marked the destiny of the National Team that today does not depend on its own result.
To achieve the feat they must win by any result in Venezuela and hope that Peru does not pass the tie with Paraguay as local. The situation is not easy as Gareca’s team has added all three points in four of five knockout games against the Guarani.
“We have to take advantage of what has been won and make the corresponding adjustments that allow us to play a good game in Venezuela,” said Rueda, leaving the idea that the team could repeat against Pékerman’s team.
