What did Eddie Fleischman say about Jorge Fossati’s selection to the Peruvian national team?

The sports commentator gave his impressions on Jorge Fossati’s list for the Peruvian national team and had a divided opinion. On the one hand, he was satisfied with the call-ups of Miguel Trauco, Renzo Garcés, Santiago Ormeño and Jean Pierre Archimbaud. On the other hand, he questioned the call-up of Jorge Murrugarra, Anderson Santamaría and Yordy Reyna. In addition, he emphasized that Catriel Cabellos should have been considered.

“Regarding the call-up: Santamaría has not been performing for a while; Trauco’s return and the calls of Garcés and Archimbaud are a good idea; Murrugarra, the substitute in the ‘U’, is not convincing; Catriel should have been there; the Yordy Reyna thing is not understood; in the face of such a shortage, it is a good idea to insist on Ormeño”he wrote on his official X account.

“Garcés is already in favor of Santamaría. Before Murrugarra, Concha and Catriel Cabellos have done their job. Before Yordy Reyna, I would choose Kenji Cabrera or even Ruidíaz,” he added.
