Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there are problems to train, start the local championship, little continuity for the players who act in Major League Soccer and even the absence of the elements that militate in the American tournament.

In that sense, the DT de la Blanquirroja ruled out the proposal to suspend the day that will take place in the last weeks of March. However, the Argentine strategist asked the authorities to evaluate the situation of each of the participants, especially those who have soccer players in MLS.

“In the United States the championship has not yet started. In addition to this, FIFA contemplates the possibility that those clubs that decide not to hand over their players can do so. The state that these clubs represent indicates that they must quarantine. For this reason, they are not obliged to give in to the footballers, ”explained‘ Tigre ’in an interview with IP Deportes.

"So, those things must be considered so as not to cause damage to a team. All those who are federated to FIFA and those who are linked to Conmebol must be careful to know where their selected teams are and what communication they give because FIFA never allowed any club to refuse to give up the players, ”he added.

“If the club is given the possibility of not handing over the players, in the event of a quarantine, it complicates the teams that have a large number of players in the American league and it is a very big damage because there are other teams that have players. distributed in other parts of the world, "he said.

Despite the uncertainty, Gareca pointed out that the MLS players are within the Peruvian selection plan to face Bolivia (La Paz) and Venezuela (Lima). “Yes, we will take them into account because they previously do a job. We are very aware of them, they are doing work in their respective teams, they have tasks to do and we believe they will play a couple of friendly matches prior to the start of the championship, "he said.

"Although it is not ideal for what a national team match represents, we appeal to a state of conscience, of responsibility of our players and the objective not only has to be in the club and in arriving in the best way, also in the commitments that are presented to the selection because they have to be well identified. We believe that they will arrive well within the panorama that we are talking about. Ideally, they should be in competition ”, he closed.
