You have to call him by his name what he is getting Gustavo Dulanto: Work, discipline and perseverance. The defender never gave up to achieve one of his dreams. He went from teasing, meme and bullying on social media to being a benchmark in the Sheriff representing Moldova.

In recent years it has become difficult to see a Peruvian play in the group stage of the Champions League. We should go back to the 2018-19 season where Jefferson Farfan played with Lokomotiv Moscow. Now Gustavo Dulanto has broken this negative statistic.

-A MORE OPTION-

In Peru it is criticized when a player leaves a league little known like the one of Moldova. But situations like those of Gustavo Dulanto are to highlight. He has gone on to be a starter and a team that is always in the preliminary stages of the Champions League.

“It would be a dream to be in the national team, I work to be the best in my position. We have to keep working and everything will fall by its own weight,” said an enthusiastic Gustavo Dulanto in an interview with GolPErú.

For everything he has been doing quietly, he can win a place in the Peruvian national team. Besides, Ricardo Gareca when he recently had months as a target-and-coach, he put him on the preliminary list to face the America’s Cup of the Year 2015.

Gustavo Dulanto it could never play a single party with the Peruvian selection. However, it has all the merits for a possible call. Although instead there are established players in the target-i. The center plays for the left sector, here Peru has a Alexander Callens at a great time and Luis Abram as a spare part.

The defender of the Sheriff would come to be the third option for this site. That said, if one of the two gets injured here he should get in Gustavo Dulanto. For performance, he is earning a small spot in the Peruvian selection.

The visitors kept the pressure on to tie the game when, after 2 minutes, Gustavo Dulanto broke through the center and found himself alone with the keeper. Moving him from that side would complicate it, especially when he has to play with the ball.

We’ll see what plans you have Ricardo Gareca with Gustavo Dulanto. The truth that the most complicated examination that will have the Peruvian power station will be in the following date of the phase of groups of the Champions League when the Sheriff against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu.
