June, the month that closed the qualifying matches to Qatar 2022comes to an end with a page that cannot be turned yet: the Peruvian National Team did not qualify for the World Cup. This is not only still present in the fans of the ‘bicolor’, but in the direct protagonists who are the footballers, as is the case of Renato Tapia.
After more than two weeks of the defeat of the Peruvian National Team against Australia via penalties in the repechage of Qatar 2022, Renato Tapia reveals that he still hasn’t recovered from not seeing himself at the next World Cup.
“I’m still on the road to recovery. It has not been easy, I have to seek help, I know. It’s a process that we internalize a lot, it’s difficult, we talk about it very little, but it hurts”, the midfielder mentioned on ‘DirecTV Sports’.
Renato Tapia said that the only explanation for the non-classification of Peruvian National Team for Qatar 2022 is that the best performance was not made against Australia.
“There is no other explanation than the one Juan Carlos Oblitas said. We played badly, it was not our day and he touched us. Unfortunately it was like that and now we have to turn the page”, said the Celta de Vigo footballer.
“Unfortunately, everything that was done in the tie is erased and is summarized in a game. It is very unfair, mainly because of the South American qualifiers, not as much as in the others”, he added.
Renato Tapia and the plane from Peru for the playoff
One of the most controversial situations around the participation of the Peruvian National Team in the repechage of Qatar 2022, post fall, pointed to the plane that moved towards Doha. More than 150 people traveled when the delegation was a much smaller number.
Renato Tapia He responded on this subject and explained that the soccer players paid for the tickets of their relatives who traveled to Qatar, in addition to acknowledging that he saw unknown people in the transfer.
“We are a country in which everything is judged, when things go wrong everything is judged. On the subject of the family we pay, nobody gave us the ticket. We have been able to travel on the team’s plane as well as on another. On the subject of foreign people I can not say anything. I don’t know the subject, I did see many people I don’t know on the plane. It is something to consult with those in charge of putting people on the plane. It does bother us that they talk about the family, because we pay the tickets, “he concluded.
