Hernán Barcos, forward for FC Cajamarca, surprised Jefferson Farfán during a recent conversation on the program ‘Enfocados’. At 41 years old, Barcos has not only maintained a remarkable level of play in Liga 1, but he also opened up about his future with the Peruvian national team. Although his desire is to continue playing, he did not rule out the idea of joining the national team.
During the chat, Farfán asked Barcos about the possibility of becoming an assistant to the new head coach of the national team, Mano Menezes. ‘I have the coaching course and I am training in sports management. If an offer comes up, how do you refuse it? But I still have three to four more years of football left,’ the Argentine replied.
Barcos, remembered for his outstanding performance at Alianza Lima, where he formed an effective duo with Farfán, admitted that he has thought about retirement, but enjoys football so much that he is not ready to hang up his boots just yet. ‘I will know when I can no longer compete. As long as my legs allow me, I will continue to enjoy the game,’ he stated on the podcast.
In another context, the Peruvian national team is preparing for their upcoming match against Senegal, scheduled for March 25 at 11:00 a.m., where expectations are high following Menezes’ debut as coach.
