Juan Cristobal Guarello is already in mode Copa America 2024 and what will be a new participation of the chilean team in the continental tournament, a Conmebol competition that will be played, again, in the United States starting next Thursday, June 20.
In his program La Hora de King Kong, Guarello gave himself space to choose: qualify for the second phase of the Copa América or beat Argentina on the second date of Group A. Although the renowned journalist believes that La Roja advances, he prefers to beat La Albiceleste. And he did it imitating the dictator Augusto Pinochet!
“At a crucial moment in the history of the Chilean team, for this Government, it is more important to beat Argentina than to qualify for the second round. If they give me the choice, I want to beat Argentina,” Guarello said with the raspy voice of the former de facto governor.
The close friend and frequent consumer of RedGol adds that “if we go to the second round, we are welcome, but I don’t want to be humiliated by the Albiceleste team… because damn, they are heavy.”
Guarello and beat Argentina
“No wonder the Ecuadorians came out to kick them. They are constantly telling you how many drinks did I have, how many drinks did I have? Well, old bastards,” objected the reference of sports journalism in Chile and Peru.
On the subject, the amateur golfer states: “the only thing… beating Argentina. I think Chile will qualify, but beat Argentina. Or at least don’t lose, fight. Fuck them. They are too rested, those compadres are too rested.”
Taking advantage of the imitation, the fans asked Guarello if he missed Pinochet and King Kong answered ironically and bluntly regarding the figure of the former preferred client of Riggs Bank: “no, I don’t miss him… with the 48% poverty rate that existed there.” “At that time we were happy.”
When does the Chilean team play in the Copa América?
For Group A of the 2024 United States Copa América, Ricardo Gareca’s La Roja will debut against Peru in the Clásico del Pacífico on June 21. Then they will play against Argentina (Tuesday, June 25) and Canada (Saturday, June 29).
