Before the arrival of Ricardo Gareca, the Chilean team had not been able to score goals in three games. Now, in the same number of games, he already has eight conquests with the ‘Tigre’ on the bench.
The top scorer of the Gareca era is Víctor Dávila, with three conquests. The CSKA Moscow forward completed the rout against Albania in his debut and now had a dream night against Paraguay, where he scored twice.
Dávila is the first La Roja player to score two headed goals in the same game against Paraguay. In fact, Chile had never scored more than one header goal in a match against the Guaraní team, which is characterized by its great aerial game.
“For us he is a very important player. In his personality, in what he works for the team, he had another facet such as collaborating and helping the team. When you find players who play a whole, they begin to become players we want to fill ourselves with.”was Gareca’s praise for his scorer, after the match against the Paraguayans.
The great moment of La Roja’s new scorer
The great performance of Victor Davila against Paraguay is no coincidence. The forward has just scored in the last two games in the Russian Premier League for CSKA Moscow.
On May 20, he scored the fourth goal with a right foot in the 6-2 win against FC Pari Nizhniy Novgorod. And on May 25, on the final day, they defeated Ural Yekaterinburg 2-0, with a left-footed goal to open the account. CSKA finished in sixth place.
An ignored scorer
With Reinaldo Rueda, Martín Lasarte and Eduardo Berizzo On the bench of the Chilean team, Víctor Dávila played just 255 minutes. Very few opportunities for a player who in that period scored 52 goals for his clubs. In fact, he only played one game out of seven as a starter, in a friendly lost against Cuba, with Berizzo as coach.
