The slogan of the 'bicolor' is none other than winning, although a draw also helps him, considering that on the last date he will play against a eliminated Paraguay. In that sense, we will show you the offensive trident that will represent Peru in Montevideo and which is made up of Gianluca Lapadula, André Carrillo and Christian Cueva.
The three players will be in charge of piercing the fence of the probable Uruguayan goalkeeper, Sergio Rochet. But in this article we will tell you a little about the present of these footballers and how they come to this momentous duel that will be played at the legendary Centenario stadium.
GIANLUCA LAPADULA
The Benevento striker of Serie B will be the main attack reference of the 'bicolor'. He currently has 2 goals and 2 assists in the current qualifying process in 11 matches played. However, his contribution goes further, as he also performs defensive work and generates discomfort in the rival defense with his constant pressure. In addition, his vehemence in the game has caused him to be constantly beaten, becoming disfigured, as happened in the match against Colombia in Barranquilla.

Now, in the Italian cast, he is the top scorer with 10 scores in 20 matches, although he made all of them in 2021. So far in 2022 he has not been able to convert due to the fact that he only reintegrated with his club at the beginning of this month and, since then, the field has not been opened to him. Anyway, it is expected that he can be fine before the 'charrúas'.
ANDRE CARRILLO
The winger of Al-Hilal is one of the most important elements that Ricardo Gareca has in the attack on Peru. In fact, his ability to dribble, good technique to handle the ball and his power at the start make him a very dangerous player on the right wing. Added to this is that his significance goes beyond the field, since outside of it he is a leader in the dressing room and one of the most experienced in his 30s, which shows a huge evolution compared to his beginnings in the selection, where he was one of the most criticized on the squad for his lack of physical effort in the field.

As for his numbers with the 'bicolor' in the present Playoffs, he has 3 goals and 1 assist in 13 matches played. One did it against Brazil in Lima and two against Paraguay in Asunción.
Likewise, his contribution could vary for this match against Uruguay, since in the last matches of his club he has been used as a right interior, a more backward position focused on the course and support for the side of his zone. However, as' Culebra 'herself explained, “It is a new position and the truth is that I have been doing quite well. I didn't expect it, but I'm happy,” he said.
CHRISTIAN CUEVA
The Al-Fateh steering wheel is the playmaker of the Peruvian team. It is the brain and the element from which the plays are born in the attack, responsible for feeding both Gianluca Lapadula and André Carrillo, as well as the other midfield players with arrivals such as Sergio Peña or Yoshimar Yotun. However, in the current qualifying process, their numbers have skyrocketed. And he has 5 goals and 1 assist in 15 games played, being the top scorer of the 'white-roja' in the Playoffs. In addition, it comes with the wick on. Since the last double day of that competition, he has scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists in 7 duels.

Without a doubt, three essential players in the starting team for coach Ricardo Gareca, who will not hesitate to put the best he has to get the best result in Montevideo. It will be an electrifying shock.
