Each arrival in Peru meant a return with some serious injury. The 'Inca Gladiator' as they usually call him has aroused the love and respect of Peruvians. But the most important thing is the stamp that has been stamped on each of his interventions with the bicolor. Gianluca Lapadula is on the verge of fulfilling his World Cup dream with a shirt from the Peruvian national team. Gianluca Lapadula started in the last five of six matches for the Peruvian national team in which he scored 13 points out of 18 possible to secure fifth place in the standings. Previously, he had scored against Bolivia (3-0) and Venezuela (1-2). The most important was against Paraguay in the 5th minute that led the victory and qualification to the repechage towards Qatar 2022. Gianluca Lapadula scored three goals in Peru's three wins in the Playoffs. At the end of the South American tournament, the attacker scored four goals and became one of the best players in the bicolor and essential for the technical command of Peru.
Lapadula scored his first goal for the Peruvian national team against Ecuador for the 2021 Copa América. It was Lapadula's best match and the start of the recovery of the Peruvian national team towards the repechage. In Quito, against the 'Tri' he was the protagonist of the 2-1 victory with two assists for the goals of Christian Cueva and Luis Advíncula. In the match with defeat (3-0) against the coffee growers, he entered in the second half to replace Paolo Guerrero. Gianluca Lapadula appeared again on Ricardo Gareca's list for matches against Colombia and Ecuador for the South American Qualifiers. Her hugs and her different publications that showed her interest in knowing her mother's roots increased her popularity, despite the poor results. The striker showed his game and attitude on the field and began to win the love of the Peruvians. Gianluca Lapadula entered in the second half of the defeat with Chile in Santiago (2-0) and then started in Argentina in Buenos, in the match that Peru also lost (0-1). With Claudio Pizarro out of Gareca's calls, he was not even called for Russia 2018, and in the absence of Paolo Guerrero and Jefferson Farfan, the bicolor faced the qualifiers for Qatar 2022 and the Italian-Peruvian managed his DNI and was called for the first time to the Peruvian national team. In October 2020, Gianluca Lapadula had gone more than three years without being called up for the Italian national team and Peru had already played his first World Cup after 36 years. However, he was not in the 2016 Copa América either. We will have to watch,” said the coach of Peru at that time. But at the moment he is focused on Serie B, but he maintains the interest of the national team. “ Lapadula needs more time to think about it. It was precisely, on the day of his 26th birthday, and prior to the matches against Venezuela in Lima (2-2) and Uruguay (0-1) in Montevideo, the 5th and 6th matches against Venezuela in Lima (2-2) and Uruguay (0-1) in Montevideo, respectively, of the Russia 2018 Qualifiers.ĭays after the meeting in Turin, Italy, Peruvian national team coach Ricardo Gareca announced that Gianluca Lapadula had decided not to play for the time being with the Peruvian national team. On February 7, 2016, Ricardo Gareca and part of his technical command traveled to Italy and met with Gianluca Lapadula to invite him to be part of the Peruvian national team.
