The Chilean team’s roster for the 2024 Copa América is history and there is no doubt that the absence of Arturo Vidal and Gary Medeltwo absolute protagonists of the last 18 years.
Although Ricardo Gareca insisted in the preview that La Roja had its doors open to everyone, in the end he did not take a chance on King and Pitbull.
BOLAVIP talks with Hernán Clavito Godoywho claims that this did not happen because “there is an internal problem with Claudio Bravo“They made the bed for him and Gareca now shot for Bravo, they probably talked and the coach thought that if he put the three of them together his dressing room would break.”
In any case, the experienced Chilean coach does not criticize Tigre for this decision. “Ricardo Gareca is choosing well and has a position similar to that of Luis Álamos and Fernando Riera, that is, ‘I’m in charge here,’” he says.
Clavito also analyzes the two uncalled players. “Arturo Vidal must improve his physical condition, he wants to step into both areas and he no longer has it, I would place him as a stopper midfielder, he no longer has the strength, nor the age for that hustle and bustle that he wants” and regarding Pitbull: “Gary Medel must show now, it is not the Boca that he played before, now he is stumbling.”
Towards the end, Hernán Godoy gets into the controversy over Pedro Carcuro’s statements regarding Ben Brereton.
“Brereton is determined, he runs and runs, he keeps getting his shirt wet, but he doesn’t have quality, he can only play with pointers who put crosses in for him to head, it doesn’t satisfy me,” he concluded.
