Sometimes, the choice is two-way, and there is also a certain element of luck.
In the heat of the Qatar World Cup qualifiers, European Champion Italy collapsed, becoming the only team in FIFA's top 10 teams to miss the Qatar World Cup.
Italy didn't even make it to the final of the Europa League play-offs, facing North Macedonia, which is ranked 67th in the world, italy was eliminated in the 92nd minute.
Throughout the game, Italy completed 28 shots on goal, but Berbile, Berardi and others repeatedly missed good opportunities. It's clear that Italy lack a scorer with a head start.
On March 30, Beijing time, the former Italian national team scored the No. 9 goal, and in the final round of the South American qualifiers, LaPadura opened the record for Peru.
In the end, Peru beat Paraguay 2-0 to finish fifth in the South American zone and secure a play-off spot that would be the winner between Australia and the UAE.
With the world's 22nd place rankings, and the composition of the players, Peru is clearly more likely to qualify for the World Cup.
Today, Italy is not eligible for the World Cup, but the former Italy international is likely to appear on the World Cup field.
In fact, Lapadura, 32, is a native Of Italy who was born in Turin and entered Juventus' youth system at the age of 6.
In the 15-16 season, Rapadula made 40 appearances for Pescara, scoring 27 goals and becoming the object of competition among many giants. In the 16-17 season, Rapadula put on the AC Milan shirt and made 29 appearances for the Rossoneri in a single season, scoring eight goals.
This season, Lapadula has played for Serie B's Benevento.
So why was Rapadula naturalized by Peru? Rapadula himself is of Peruvian descent, and he is also a naturalized by blood. As early as the summer of 2016, the Peruvian national team invited Rapadula to compete in the Copa America, but he refused.
In November 2016, Rapadula was called up to the Italian national team to wear the coveted blue shirt, and The number 9 Lapadola came off the bench in a friendly against Germany.
Unfortunately, that was the only time Rappadula made a debut for the Italian national team, waiting for 4 years, and Rapadula could not wait for his second time. In November 2020, when the Peruvian national team threw an olive branch again, Rapadula gladly accepted.
Later in the Copa America, Rapadula was Peru's absolute workhorse, scoring goals against Colombia, Ecuador and Paraguay.
In the Qatar World Cup South American qualifiers, Rapadula also scored goals against Venezuela and Bolivia, and the goal in the victory over Paraguay was Lapadula's sixth goal for Peru and the most important goal.
Looking forward to the former Italy international, can appear on the field of the Qatar World Cup, I wonder how the former national team teammates will feel?
