In Argentina they are waiting for the debut of La Albiceleste in a new America Cup and there is room to talk about a player of the chilean team: Dario Osorio. In fact, TyC Sports included the young national forward among “the five jewels to watch” in the United States 2024 and who could be the revelation of the continental tournament.
Osorio appears alongside Ismael Koné (Canada), Yáser Asprilla (Colombia), Manfred Ugalde (Costa Rica) and Kendry Páez (Ecuador), considered by the Argentine media as the “young promises that are emerging as the best appearances.”
The list, according to TyC, is considered “beyond the best-known youth stars – and who are a reality – such as Endrick (Brazil), Julio Enciso (Paraguay) or Alejandro Garnacho (Argentina).”
Regarding Darío Osorio, the sports channel maintains that he is “a 20-year-old winger born in Hijuelas, Chile, who will also face the Albiceleste and is the new promise that emerges from trans-Andean football.”
Goal for France, world runner-up
They add that “after going through the minor teams, he earned a place with Ricardo Gareca due to the injuries of several experienced players and will be part of the competition. He emerged from the University of Chile and was an important piece in avoiding relegation in 2022. A year ago, Denmark’s Midtjylland paid five million euros and took him as a bet.
“In Europe he has already played 24 games and scored eight goals, a good average since he plays on the wings. He also surprised and although he only played eight times, he just scored a goal against France, the world runner-up, in a 3-2 defeat in a friendly.”
With the Chilean adult team, Osorio debuted in June 2022 in the defeat against Tunisia for the Kirin Cup. So far he has eight games and one goal. Three of these matches were for World Cup qualifiers against Uruguay, Venezuela and Ecuador.
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).
