Having scored 9 goals in the last two editions of the Copa America and starting this tournament as the first goal scorer, is something that puts Peruvian striker Paolo Guerrero among the top players in the recent history of this tournament. Last Saturday against Haiti, Guerrero kept his momentum and scored the winning goal, but he also reached 27 goals to surpass mythical striker Teofilo Cubillas as Peru's all-time top scorer.
After the victory against Haiti, manager Gareca wanted to remind everyone how important a striker like Guerrero is for football in general. First he analyzed the victory: "It was a tough game as we expected. Haiti played good. [But] Peru deservedly won the game, and it was demonstrated during the 90 minutes. I have to congratulate my players, because it is good debut win in Copa America. We must continue to improve. It is the beginning of a cup. We won with a close score, but with a favorable process. I saw my team tried, had mobility, played short and long. The result is fair and I remain calm with the team's performance."
Gareca said the following about Guerrero: "Guerrero is very important, so it transmits and for what it represents for the group. My assessment is very high on him. I know what it means to the country for him. It is very important that he has made a goal. Over time, the boys will understand more with Paolo."
Then, the striker himself wanted to talk about how important this goal was for him: "These tournaments are tough and are really difficult to win. The team tired a bit towards the end but we withstood the pressure. My job for the team is to maximize and make sure they get the experience they need. Hopefully the Copa America helps them a lot. I had to be well-positioned in order to score the goal. I knew that in any moment [the ball] would come to me. The ball came to me and I was able to convert."
