Diego Rebagliati revealed what Raúl Ruidíaz said to Paolo Guerrero in the play prior to Brazil’s goal | Movistar Sports
The defeat that Peru suffered against Brazil in the last minute was suffered by the entire country. However, many decided to blame Raúl Ruidíaz, who could not prevent Marquinhos’ agonizing goal. The Peruvian attacker stood at the near post, but was anticipated by the Brazilian defender, who scored and sealed the match at the National Stadium in Lima. That mistake in marking put the Seattle Sounders forward as a point of criticism.
The controversial play generated many doubts, as everyone wonders why Ruidíaz was positioned near the post if that was Paolo Guerrero’s position. Diego Rebagliati confessed what the former Universitario de Deportes player said to the ‘Predator’ in the play prior to the PSG footballer’s score.
“Paolo was free in front of the first post, between the six-yard box and the first post, and Carrillo was behind him, also free. The moment Carrillo comes out, I say that Paolo can’t take him out because he is taking too many balls out of there, and when the corner comes, Ruidíaz tells Paolo “you go back and I go forward”, that is, you go there, Carrillo was there, and I go ahead. There is someone who has Marquinho’s mark and I think it is Marcos López who slips and loses it, maybe Marquinho headed the same with Guerrero there because he anticipated very far in front of the near post area and the center was very precise,” commented the post-match sports commentator.
In the broadcast, the ‘9’ of the Peruvian team was seen upset by how the ‘Scratch’ score was given because it was born from a defensive error. The captain even approached Juan Reynoso and seemed euphoric, the communicator also referred to that moment.
“Paolo’s anger, which he expressed very vocally, as he usually does, went so far as to talk about it with Reynoso. I don’t know if it was Ruidíaz’s decision to make the change or it was an indication from the bench for that to happen because they were the two who made the zone. “Brazil resolved it with a stopped ball and it is very annoying because of how they score the goal and the way the goal arrives because as much as we had defended, we had defended the stopped ball well,” he added.

The coach of the Peruvian team explained what happened in the play that ended in a goal for Brazil in the last minute and why it was decided that Raúl Ruidíaz would be placed at the near post in the corner that was taken by Neymar and ended with a score by Marquinhos . He assumed full responsibility for that defensive error and supported the ‘Flea’ due to the criticism that held him responsible for the ‘blanquirroja’ defeat.
“We had reconsidered that ball, Paolo (Guerrero) and André (Carrillo) were going to the penalty spot, we thought that Raúl, as he does in his club, he did it in Mexico and everywhere, went to the post and Paolo went to the penalty spot because the most dangerous balls were thrown between the first post and the penalty spot. Beyond the lack of coordination, the responsibility lies with the speaker and it is their credit,” said ‘Cabezón’ at a press conference.
He also referred to his decision to bring on the Seattle Sounders forward in the 78th minute, who replaced André Carrillo. “What were we looking for with Raúl, for him to accompany Paolo in the pressure as he was fresh, to help us score passes and have some option in attack.”
