Edison Flores appears as an alternative to replace André Carrillo in Peru vs. Paraguay by Qualifiers Qatar 2022. The same 'Orejitas' said that he does not feel starting in the match on Tuesday. He also expressed his desire to mark the selection of Guillermo Barros Schelotto.

“We have already turned that page, obviously we had a bad taste but we are already focusing on Tuesday, which is going to be very hard. Now we are going to wait these last two days to be at a good level and that on Tuesday we enter the field and give our best”, was the first thing he said in conversation with RPP.

The 27-year-old footballer was considered in the eleven that Ricardo Gareca stopped in practice this Sunday. Pedro Gallese in the goal, Jhilmar Lora, Carlos Zambrano, Alexander Callens and Miguel Trauco formed the line of four; Renato Tapia, Sergio Peña and Yoshimar Yotún in the middle of the court; Edison Flores, Christian Cueva and Gianluca Lapadula were the offensive trident.

They were works of definition, there is nothing concrete yet. Obviously that is decided by the professor, we are on an equal footing as attackers since André will not be there, let's wait for his recovery. There are players like Gabi, Razuel or Jairo, the same 'Canchita' who has also played that part,” said the DC United player.

On the other hand, he referred to the possibility of scoring before the 'Guaraníes'. “I always see myself scoring, I always imagine the goal, I think about having a chance and taking advantage of it and hopefully it can happen, to be able to have a great match on Tuesday. Obviously it's going to be hard and difficult, but we have to work on it and have a lot of peace of mind.”

It's a fine, controversial play, for us the ball came in and that claim is for something. We all agree on that part, but we will no longer spend energy on that side, we just have to spend our energy on Tuesday,” said the winger.
