The prelude to Peru vs. Chilifor the first day of Group A of the Copa America 2024 brings all kinds of analysis and comments, although one of them has gone over the limit with expletives against the representatives of the ‘red and white‘generating a very intense atmosphere at the gates of a new edition of ‘Pacific Classic‘.
In communication with TNT Sportsthe ex-world player Marcelo Vega (1998 World Cup) attacked the Peruvian team with a phrase as devastating as it is unfortunate: “The Peruvian shits on the Chileans. When they come to play here they shit and we beat them there. But here at the National they shit. And on a neutral court they shit the same, if they are playing with Chile and we have always been better.”
From the perspective of the popular ‘Toby‘, Chile will always be the favorite in any circumstance, even in a Copa América. “Against Peru we are favorites. They add more color to it than we do. They are more worried, because in history we have always been better,” said Vega.
Like a very good part of Chile’s former national team, Marcelo Vega has been very happy with the management of Ricardo Gareca in the initial friendlies of his era in Juan Pinto Durán: “I’m honestly not going to question the coach. It’s serious and we puffed up a lot for it to arrive., you have to let it work. And it gives results. He brought Eduardo Vargas and he scores goals, assists.”
On the other hand, ‘Toby‘He assured that “I am not so worried about the Copa América“I’m thinking more about the World Cup.” In such a way that it follows that the performance of the ‘red’ in the CA2024 did not set the needle for him, given that his entire focus is on the resumption of the North America 2026 Qualifiers.
Those of Gareca you will see action in the Copa America 2024. The debut will be against neither more nor less than Peruformer team that was under the command of Ricardo between 2015 and 2022. The stage that will host a new edition of the ‘Pacific Classic‘ will be AT&T Stadium, Arlington, Texas.
Then, the delegation of Chili will have to move to New Jersey to compete against Argentina, current champion of the competition of nations led by Leo Messi, at the MetLife Stadium. Finally, the ‘red‘will close its participation in the group stage against Canadaat the Inter&Co Stadium, in Orlando.
