The era of Mano Menezes at the helm of the Peruvian National Team begins this Saturday with a friendly match against Senegal in Paris. Fabio Gruber, central defender for Nuremberg in Germany, is one of the call-ups and expressed enthusiasm for the experience with the blanquirroja. Gruber, who is training with his teammates in the French capital, commented on the good chemistry among the players. “Everything is going very well because the guys are very funny. I love being with them and joking around,” he stated in an interview.
The defender also recalled his visit to Peru before the pandemic, where he had the chance to feel the passion for football in cities like Cusco and Arequipa. Regarding the match against Senegal, Gruber highlighted the speed of the African team, noting that it will be a different challenge compared to the previous encounter against Honduras. “I seek to improve because I see that we are a good team. The project can work if everyone knows what to do,” he added.
Before Gruber, Erick Noriega from Gremio emphasized the importance of preparing adequately to achieve a good result in this friendly match. For more details on other friendly matches during the FIFA date, you can check our note on the schedule and results.
