And when the coach was Eduardo Berizzo they were not able to capture a clear idea of the game and the results were not in their favor either. On this occasion, with the ‘Tiger’, seems to have recovered its essence and has convinced both the fans and the press in that country. And a few days after the debut against Peru in the Copa America 2024, morale is at its peak. In that sense, a former player of the ‘red’heated up this match and ensured that the ‘bicolor’ He plays nice but always loses to them.
Is about Gabriel Mendozawho in an interview for ‘Bolavip Chile’ mentioned that the national team does not show its best version against the ‘southerns’ and that the situation will not be easy for him having his former coach in front of him.

That’s when the popular ‘Coke’ highlighted the typical style of the ‘inca’although that disappears when they have to face the Chileans.
“The shit (fear) is coming to the Peruvians no matter what. They always play nice, but they always lose with Chile, regardless of the fact that with Gareca they had taken away a little fear, now that is over and Chile is Chile,” he said.
