The Argentine coach stressed about his rival that “it is a very well-worked team”, that he knows what he wants on the field”, with “technically very good” players and a physically “strong” team, but that these virtues also belong to the Peruvians, so they are “in a position to neutralize” the Australians.
“We are a selection that we are very convinced of what we have. What we are looking for is to live this, for this we prepare, this is what we want and this is what we have to resolve this match, “he added.
He also warned that in this type of tie, a single game, there is no margin for error, so “you have to be very careful.”
But he assured: “We are all prepared for these types of games.” Regarding the condition of his players, he asserted that Luis Advíncula and Renato Tapia “are fully recovered” from their discomfort and that in the case of midfielder Yoshimar Yotún we will have to wait until the last minute.
For his part, the national team’s goalkeeper, Pedro Gallese, who also appeared at the press conference, acknowledged that for him and the rest of his teammates this is “the game of their lives.”
“We are the same as four years ago. The team has matured a lot”, He said regarding the playoff of the qualification for the 2018 World Cup in Russia that they won against New Zealand and that meant the return of Peru to a World Cup after 36 years without achieving it.
“It has cost us a lot to get to this moment and we are not going to let it go,” he said. Galles anticipated a “tough” and “closed” game. “I see myself celebrating because I know the group we have, I know what we have sacrificed and I know what we play,” he added.
