Pedro Aquino He is one of the active national representatives in Liga MX. And it is that since leaving for Mexico in 2017, he has not stopped growing until he reaches a big club like América. However, his gift isn’t the best as he is a regular substitute, despite having minutes in every game. In any case, his presence in the Peruvian team He has not diminished, since he was considered for the previous duel against Paraguay. Although on this occasion and with the friendly matches in sight Germany there Moroccothe national midfielder has shown his enthusiasm for playing them.

“Of course they do (they motivate). The truth is that I’m thinking about my team right now. He misses to go to the national team, but every time they bring up this subject in the team (in Mexico), I say that we played with Germany and Morocco and they say: “Wow, what a game”. So we have to keep working. Today that I am not a starter in the team and I try to work as much as possible for everything that happens”, were his first words in an interview for the newspaper to file.

In the same way, the 27-year-old footballer expressed his joy at rubbing shoulders with two teams that were at the last World Cup in Qatar 2022, where the Africans did things better, since they reached the semi-finals (they lost 2-0 with the vice-champion of France).

As mentioned above, the reality of Pedro Aquino it’s not ideal. He played seven of eight games with the America in the Closing Tournament, but only in two of them was he up for it. He has played around 30 minutes a game under manager Fernando Ortiz, who prefers to use Paraguayan Richard Sánchez as a midfielder.

This lack of continuity could cause it to lose its place in the Peruvian teamgiven the fact that, at the moment, it has been considered by the coach Juan Reynoso in all calls. Renato Tapia and Wilder Cartagena were their main ‘rivals’ in this position, so it will depend on the ‘On your mind’ if you support it or opt for another alternative.

“Juan is a person that whoever plays will play. I don’t know what will happen in March, but if he sees the player well physically, he will play. It’s not the same as what s happened with Professor Ricardo. It also happens that when you arrive in the national team, you are filled with enthusiasm, to wear the jersey of the team and to represent such beautiful people who are there and who are waiting for a result ” , he commented.

On another side, Pedro Aquino assured that he continues to consider Paul Guerrero as captain of Peruvian team, despite his absence in recent years. Obviously he mentioned Pedro Gallese, who currently owns the tape. “I still think he is still the captain of the team. Until he retires he will still be the captain. Pedro (Gallese) already knows he is the captain of the current team, but if Paolo arrives , he will be the captain. We hope he can arrive in good shape, that he will do well at his club so that he has the opportunity to be in the national team again.”

And that’s what the current front of running club wing ‘Red and white’ He had to be framed. He is the top scorer in the history of the Peruvian team with his 39 goals, six of which served to qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia. ‘Academic’ to attempt a comeback.
