Peruvian national team: Juan Reynoso praised Luis Abram ahead of the double day for Qatar 2022 Qualifiers

It is often said that change is good for you. More if it is for the benefit and with growth in between. This phrase can attest to Luis Abram, who since he came to Liga MX to join the ranks of Cruz Azul has been recovering his level. In fact, Juan Reynoso referred to the evolution of Peruvian defense since it arrived in 'Aztec' lands.

The DT was asked about the performance of 'Lucho' and did not hesitate to praise it. “Every time it is approaching its level. Its ceiling is still high, it has enormous potential. And in his profile, in his chivalry, in his professionalism, he gets better and better,” said the Peruvian coach at a press conference after the tie for the 'Cement Machine' 1-1 against CF Montréal for the quarterfinals of the Concachampions.

Abram participated in this return match that was held at the Olympic Stadium in the Canadian city. In fact, he played 90 minutes and, although he didn't have a great performance, the overall balance that Reynoso has led him to say those words. The specialized portal SofaScore did not give a good score to the Peruvian defender (6.3), who was the lowest on his team. However, the fact that this result allowed them to move to the next stage leaves them alone.

As the Cruz Azul driver himself said to reporters, he stressed the offensive power of the MLS cast. “Montreal has enormous potential and more when the ball passes through its contentions, it opens the court for you and ends up sending centers into space that are dangerous and that now, luckily, did not connect because we entered well when scoring in the area,” he said.

Since Luis arrived in Mexico to sign for the 'celestes', he has been recovering by few the best level he exhibited in Argentina with Vélez Sarsfield. The same one that made him leave for Granada from Spain at the beginning of the European season. However, the poor performance of his team caused him to be relegated to the alternate bench.

Faced with this situation and with the intention of having regularity in his game, he decided to move to Mexico and with a national football acquaintance like Juan Reynoso, who in his time as a player also did so as a central defender, so he knows what he can improve to be a higher ranking footballer. Now, in the same 'Aztec' championship he has played 6 matches in which he has been able to convert 2 goals and be a constant starter with captain Pablo Aguilar.

FOLLOW-UP OF THE PERUVIAN NATIONAL TEAM

On the other hand, the 'Cabezón' also had words about the follow-up made by the technical command of the Peruvian national team led by Ricardo Gareca, by Luis Abram. “Surely Ricardo (Gareca), who must be following him with the 'teacher' (Néstor) Bonillo, will have a nice problem because he is there to compete and to make a difference. The problem is with them who will decide whether to start now on this double date,” he added.

The former Sporting Cristal player has lost his place in the 'bicolor' to Alexander Callens, who has formed a solid backwards with Christian Ramos. At first he shared a team with the 'Sombra', but the results of the Peruvian team were not favorable and there were miscoordination in that area. He did have a great development in pairing with Carlos Zambrano, but the constant expulsions of the 'Kaiser' caused this duo to disintegrate. However, he hopes that in Mexico he can grow and tempt a place in the starting eleven of Peru.
