He is one of the best players in South America of recent decades, one of the most important. He is a strong, technical and handsome guy, one of those who if you kick him he stops and comes back so you can hit him again. Scorer, intelligent. Without a doubt, he is one of the best forwards that I have had to face,” he told Trade.

“If you need it and it is useful for the technician, why not? Gareca called Claudio Bravo again, who is 42 years old. He calls him up because he trusts that he can still perform and because he is a reference on and off the field. As long as Paolo has a physique for as long as they need him, he will continue because it has the quality to compete in any instance,” he continued.

“I always said it. As long as a young player does not come and prove to be better, one will continue playing and enjoying what it means to be in the national team. Retiring from a team does not depend on the one with the most experience, but on the one who comes back. If it is better, the replacement will be natural. In the case of Chile, this replacement will be very difficult due to the quality of the golden generation; they will be unattainable for many years or perhaps forever,” he emphasized.
