Eight years after beating Argentina in the final of the Centenario Cup, Chile will return this afternoon to Metlife Stadium in New York, with a more realistic and achievable objective: to stay alive in the 2024 Copa América.
The draw against Peru in the debut left La Roja with no margin and now they will have to fight against the most difficult opponent in their history. Coach Ricardo Gareca knows this, and before the game he tried to regain the team’s spirit and reduce the pressure, aware that there is still a game against Canada on Saturday.
El Tigre is also aware that a good result against Argentina would be an important boost for its process, and that is why it plans to send its best players to the field, including a couple of changes from Friday’s debut. Diego Valdés is injured and will leave his place in the eleven to Darío Osorio. In turn, Marcelino Nuñez and Rodrigo Echeverría fight for the last place in the midfield.
