Ricardo Gareca’s La Roja refines details to turn the page after a bitter draw in the Clásico del Pacifico. The Everyone’s Team will face the world champion for the second date of the group stage of the Copa América 2024.
Chile shared points with Peru and will seek to score points in a tough challenge against the Argentine team. Lionel Scaloni’s team is the leader of Group A after beating Canada 2-0.
Due to Diego Valdés’ injury, “Tigre” Gareca had the mission of finding his replacement for this difficult match against the current world and Copa América champions. The midfielder suffered an injury in the match against the Peruvians, which leaves him ruled out for the rest of the tournament.
La Roja and Argentina formations
After an opaque match against Peru, Ricardo Gareca once again bets on Darío Osorio. The young midfielder is one of the promises of La Roja and the “Tigre” will bet on him as one of the important players in this process.
Chili:
Claudio Bravo; Mauricio Isla, Lichnovsky, Paulo Díaz, Gabriel Suazo; Marcelino (or Echeverría), Erick Pulgar, Darío Osorio, Alexis Sánchez, Víctor Dávila; and Eduardo Vargas.
DT: Ricardo Gareca.
Argentina:
Emiliano Martínez; Nahuel Molina, Cristian Romero, Lisandro Martínez, Nicolás Tagliafico; Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes (or Enzo Fernández), Alexis Mac Allister, Nicolás González (or Ángel Di María); Lionel Messi and Julián Álvarez.
DT: Lionel Scaloni.
Gareca’s big doubt is the midfield. One of the options that the “Tigre” is considering is the entry of Rodrigo Echeverría for Marcelino Núñez. However, the formation of La Roja would not have major changes in relation to the match with Peru.
Likewise, Igor Lichnovsky is in trouble due to a discomfort that he has been carrying since the match with Peru. In case he suffers before the duel against the Albicelestes, Matías Catalán would enter.
