Peru’s 2-1 Loss to Chile Puts Jairo Concha Under Fire After Costly Turnover

Manco says the national team is not a testing ground.

Overview

  • Peru fell 2-1 to Chile in Sochi despite a man advantage after Iván Román was sent off and Alex Valera scored from the penalty spot.
  • Chile’s winner followed Jairo Concha losing the ball to Darío Osorio, who finished to seal the result.
  • Ex-international Reimond Manco blasted Concha’s performance, saying he lacks the personality required and declaring, “If you don’t assume, you are not for the national team.”
  • Manco urged an end to extended ‘credits’ for underperformers and challenged Concha to replicate his Universitario form with Peru.
  • Juan Jayo also judged Concha below expectations and said coach Manuel Barreto will draw his conclusions, even as Sofascore gave the midfielder a 7.0 rating.
