Nothing is said. Juan Reynoso announced the selective list with a view to the friendlies against Germany and Morocco; and one of the surprises was the appearance of Brandon Palacios, son of Roberto el ‘Chorri’ Palacios. The 24-year-old midfielder had a great start with his club, Deportivo Binacional, and He managed to score in the Copa Sudamericana. His good performances did not go unnoticed at La Videna and, therefore, he was considered for the microcycle.
Given what happened, the attacker trained in Sporting Cristal was happy with the news; however, he made it clear that he does not rule out accepting an eventual call from the country where he was born.
“My first choice is Peru, although I was born in Guadalajara, Mexico. If Peru does not call me to any team and Mexico does, I would not miss an opportunity. I would love for it to be Peruvian”, explained in dialogue with the program “All the voices of football”.
Why can Brandon Palacios play for another team?
As the attacker himself mentioned, having Dual nationality allows you to choose between Mexico and Peru. In addition, in the event that his name remains in the final list of ‘Cabezón’ and he manages to add minutes against the Germans and Moroccans, this does not guarantee him to continue wearing the Bicolor either. According to FIFA regulations, A footballer must play three official matches for the option of representing another country to be ruled out.
Brandon Palacios scored the fastest goal in the history of the Copa Sudamericana
In Binacional’s 3-1 loss to César Vallejo, which eliminated them from the Copa Sudamericana, Brandon Palacios’ goal against the poets became the fastest goal in the competition’s history (11 seconds).
“When I scored the goal, I didn’t imagine it was the fastest goal. At the end of the match, I received messages saying that it was the fastest goal of the cup.” manifested.
