Why was Percy Liza drafted and Paolo Guerrero not?
The first reason would be related to a future projection problem and to expand the universe of the players Peruvian team. Percy Lisa He’s just 22 years old and plays in an important league in Europe. Juan Reinoso would try to consolidate the young shooter as an alternative for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Paul Guerreroat 39, unlikely to make it to the final part of the next qualifying process.
Another crucial factor would have to do with the continuity of both footballers in the past season. So far, Liza has played 549 minutes, scoring one goal and providing one assist, in 14 games for Marítimo de Portugal.
For his part, the “Predator” has won just 153 minutes in six games wearing the racing jersey, in which he has already scored two goals.
