Niklas Castro was one of the great surprises on Reinaldo Rueda’s roster for the duels against Peru and Venezuela for the South American Qualifiers heading to Qatar 2022. The Norwegian-Chilean striker will be an option for Red on a double date that needs to add more than three points.
In conversation with the press of his club, Aalesunds, Castro acknowledged that his nomination “It’s a dream come true, as big this time as the last, if not bigger“.
In addition, Niklas expressed his happiness at being able to share with great figures such as Alexis Sánchez and Arturo Vidal: “I will meet some of the best footballers in the world and I will also train and play as a team with them. I will learn a lot from this trip“.
Castro had already been summoned by Reinaldo Rueda in the Red, on the FIFA date of October 2019 for the friendlies against Colombia and Guinea. However, he was unable to play minutes because his nationalization papers were not fully completed.
La Roja receives Peru at the National Stadium this Friday, November 13 at 8:00 p.m., and four days later, it will visit Venezuela in Caracas at 6:00 p.m.
