The Peruvian National Team must expand the universe of players for the coming years. For this reason, a player has now appeared who shines in Portugal at just 19 years old, the star is Sebastian Ortiz who currently plays for CD Tondela, but he had an outstanding time with the Pacos de Ferreira team, in an interview for Infobae he revealed that he is Renato Tapia fan.

Not long ago Ortiz became champion with his team in Portuguese football, and hopes to reach professionalism in the 'Old Continent'. Sebastián Ortiz played for Paços de Ferreira, a club where Paolo Hurtado also played. This midfielder, born in Lima, has the qualities of a European player: confrontational, daring, mischievous, fast, dynamic, unbalancing, and he also has chemistry with his teammates.

Ortiz was champion of the AF Porto 1ª Divisão, beating C.D. 4-2. Birds. The midfielder played the entire game and was vital for his team to win the title with 1 match left. Now, months ago, the footballer decided to declare for the Infobae portal, where he showed his interest and desire to wear the red and white: “No, I never had the opportunity (to play for the national team). The U-20 would be the opportunity to wear my country's shirt and show what I'm worth," confessed the 18-year-old Peruvian midfielder.

Sebastián Ortiz is an offensive midfielder

Likewise, Sebastián Ortiz revealed the following: “[…] Paolo Hurtado was here and when I got here they asked me if I knew him (laughs). And the path I am taking is a steering wheel, at my young age. I like to be a more offensive midfielder and give goals. I also like to score goals, but I want the ball to always pass through me and always have possession of the ball.” It is expected that the bicolor will decide to call him up for the next microcycles of the Sub - 20.
