Ricardo Gareca, in an interview with the Peruvian press, stated that Santiago Ormeño is considered for the South American tour
Ricardo Gareca, the coach of the Peruvian national team, reported that Santiago Ormeño is on a list of 50 players he has considered for the Copa América. The strategist also announced that it will be on April 27 next year when he will announce the players who will play the Conmebol tournament.
“Santiago Ormeño is noticed, he is in the orbit of the national team. He is considered on the list of the 50 players for the Copa América, “Gareca said in an interview with RPP Noticias Soccer.
“On April 27, we have to offer the list for the Copa América. Each time the list expands more and we have more players who are watched. We are more and more calm “, the strategist detailed.
Santiago Ormeño, striker from Puebla, fights for the goal championship of Guard1anes Clausura 2021, a tournament in which he adds nine annotations, the same ones that Nicolás Ibáñez and Rogelio Funes Mori have, while the leader of the category is Pedro Alexis Canelo with 10 points.
Although he is the Mexican with the most goals so far in the 2020/2021 season, Gerardo Martino, Tri coach, did not call him up. “Dad” preferred Henry Martín and Alan Pulido in the absence of Raúl Jiménez, who is recovering from a skull fracture.
Gareca also talked about the work of Juan Reynoso with Cruz Azul, a team that is on the first place in the general classification of the championship, besides the fact that it has already ensured its passage in the quarterfinals of the tournament.
“Reynoso is one of the best coaches in Peruvian football. Juan’s ability is ruled out and he shows it. We hope it can be maintained. It is a great joy for us because of what it means for Peru “, said the Argentine strategist.
