The father of Santiago Ormeño, Walter Ormeño, Explained the controversial situation surrounding his son and the striker of the Peruvian team, Raul Ruidiaz. Statements from the Puebla striker caused discomfort for Ricardo Gareca.
“I know Ruidíaz a little more because he played here in Mexico. Now in MLS I can see him more and he seems like a crack, he is a great player. But I think for a selection you need a ‘9’ more benchmark in attack, bigger, with that presence. I think Paolo Guerrero has all this to perfection, “Ormeño exclaimed in a dialogue with Connexió DirecTV on October 15, 2020.
This statement was not overlooked by the ‘Tiger’ who in his last conference from Argentina called for a measure between convened and non-convened in the ‘Bicolor’.
“We would like anyone who wants to be in the selection to express it, say so. But he must also take care of his statements. It is better that the boys, despite being in orbit, do not think about their respective peers. Everyone can give their opinion, but not within the summoned and uninvited. I am interested in the good coexistence of the team “, exhorted the Argentine DT
In one way or another this would explain why Santiago Ormeño, who enjoyed continuity and an important level in the last season of the MX League with Puebla, was not called up. His father, Walter Ormeño, came out to clarify the matter.
“What he meant at the time was that Guerrero, by references he had, was a center-forward with more presence. I did not speak of him (by Raul Ruidiaz). He was talking about Paolo, who played in the first division, who has more arrival from the sides “, he argued for Som de Primera.
He also reaffirmed his son’s commitment to wearing the ‘white-i’ – just waiting for the FPF call. “The Peruvian Football Federation has never called him. He has already stated that he wants to go to the national team. I commented to him that I saw Gareca’s conference and he told me ‘there is nothing new, no one has contacted me ‘.Wait for the call,’ he concluded.
