T&T vs Peru – The Peruvian Squad

May 10th, 2006 | By: Stacy-Marie Ishmael | 2 Comments »

I admit to a woeful ignorance of Peruvian football. Nonetheless, thanks to the wonders of Google and the ever-handy Trinidad Express, I’ve managed to find the Peruvian lineup for our friendly this evening.

Nice kit.Apparently, Peru will be fielding team that is primarily based in – err, Peru. They opted to leave out their European contigent – Paolo Guerero (Bayern Munich), Jefferson Farfan (PSV Eindhoven), Claudio Pizarro (Bayern Munich), Santiago Acasiete (Spain), Nolberto Solano (Newcastle) – as well as their midfielder Roberto Palacios Liga (Deportivo Universitario Quito), who is based in Ecuador.

This decision has incensed T&T fans, who have been looking forward to a competitive game against a strong squad. The Warriors will still be facing a challenge, however. Ian Prescott, one of the quality sports writers over at the Express, reports that six of the Peruvians play for the championship club Alizanza Lima – a club that we played against last year, and to which we lost 1-0.

The Peruvians are also uniformly youthful – the average age of the squad looks to be around 24. This is going to be a good test of fitness for our more senior Warriors, methinks.

The Peru Lineup:

George Patrick Forsyth (Alianza Lima – Goalkeeper), Miguel Angel Villata (Cienciano), Salas Rainer Torres (Sporting Crystal), Carlos Alberto Zegarra (Sporting Crystal), Amilton Fair Prado ((Sporting Crystal), Alberto Junior Rodriguez (Sporting Crystal), Roberto Carlos Jiminez (Alianza Athletico), Erick Guillermo Delgado (Sporting Crystal), Gutizzo Leao Butron (Sporting Crystal), Wilmer Alexander Aguirre (Alianza Lima), Santiano Roberto Salazar (Universidad San Martin) , Vasallo Olcesa (Universidad San Martin), Douglas juniors Ross (Cienciano), Gustavo Enrique Vasallo (Cienciano), Paulo Rinaldo Cruzado (Alianza Lima), Manuel Alejandro Corrales (Alianza Lima), Pedro Alexandro Garcia de la Cruz (Universidad San Martin), John Galliquio ((Universidad San Martin), Miguel Cevasco (Universidad de Depostes), Pedro Alexandro Garcia (Universidad San Martin).
