Peru's national soccer team coach Ricardo Gareca on Tuesday affirmed the Incas will seek to give a good performance at the 2018 World Cup tournament since they will show their sporting potential —just as they did at the past Qualifiers.
As is known, Peru
returns to a World Cup tournament after 36 years. Yet, it will have to face tough squads such as France, Denmark, and Australia at the mega event.
Group C members "are very tough and dynamic opponents. They are strong teams, whose players combine strength and speed," the coach told RPP radio and TV news station.
In this sense,
Gareca believes such situation will bring an opportunity to resurface, considering the
national squad showed its potential to qualify for soccer's most important event.
"We will get the best results […]. The key is to win all the Group matches," he expressed in this sense.
Friendlies
He also reaffirmed Peruvians will play a friendly match against the Saudi Arabian squad in Austria, and another one against Swedish counterpart in June.
"We will play Saudi Arabia in Austria. Afterwards, we will travel to Sweden, and then to Russia," he concluded.
The game against Saudi Arabia may take place on June 3.
