L’Equipe journalist on the playoff: “It’s always a pleasure to see Peru in a World Cup”

This Friday, March 1, the draw for the group stage of the Qatar 2022 World Cup was held, where the Peruvian team was able to find out who their rivals could be if they managed to win the World Cup playoff against Australia or the United Arab Emirates.

La Blanquirroja, if they achieved the World Cup feat, would meet again in a group with France and Denmark, with whom they coincided in Russia 2018, a meeting that cost them qualification for the round of 16 of the competition, since those led by Ricardo lost with both teams. Gareca for the slightest difference.

In this regard, several French media spoke about the rivals that his team had. For this reason, the media outlet Infobae conducted an interview with the journalist from L’Equipe José Barroso, who did not hesitate to comment on the opponents of the roosters.

“If Peru makes it through the playoffs, I think we would consider them the 3rd or 4th team in this group. Denmark had a great European Championship and is quite solid. Tunisia is not having a great time, but we still see it as a team with quality, with individuals like Khazri, who we know very well in the French league”, he stated.

You have to be careful with Peru, since we played in 2018 and above all we know their results from this game in the Copa América, but, therefore, I think that, if we look at their tie, we would put them more or less at the level of Tunisia, because they have fewer individuals than we know”, Barroso spoke about the White-red.

Apart from the Bicolor, another country that could coincide with the French and Danish is Australia, which will fight for the playoff with the United Arab Emirates. When asked about the country with which he would like to rival, the L’Equipe journalist said: “I don’t know the level of other teams well, so I can’t tell you, but Australia is a country with less history, but a great sporting tradition . For his part, it is always a pleasure to see Peru in a World Cup.”
