The last image that La Roja left fixed in its debut for the Copa América, lackluster distribution with Peru, is more related to the previous cycle, that of Eduardo Berizzo who chained failures on all fronts, and not to the three previous games that excited even to the most incredulous with Ricardo Gareca standing on the edge of the field. With little to nothing to salvage (perhaps the performance of the last line), Chile’s immediate future in the competition, Argentina, the world champion, demands immediate change.
And that change, Juan Cristóbal Guarello proposes, must be made in the last meters: specifically, the journalist was convinced that to compete with the Albiceleste on Tuesday night in New Jersey, the one who must lead the national attack is Ben Brereton.
“You can find him tough, you can find him suddenly making bad decisions, but The guy, due to the sheer pace he put into the Chilean attack, is something else.“, he argued last night, in the latest edition of his program King Kong time.
“Because of the pure rhythm,” he then insisted, and was quick to list the striker’s virtues: “How he goes to look for it, how he asks for it, how he plays first class. “How he put together the play, he goes to look for it in the middle of the field and manages to define the area.”. “He has to be a starter.”
But, what about Eduardo Vargas? “He is a definer”Guarello conceded, “but if the ball doesn’t arrive, they don’t play, and Chile played with ten in the first half. At one point Sánchez clashed with Vargas.”
By the way, he took the opportunity to review the Tocopillano: “Sánchez cannot play for the Sánchez football club, if he already has the goal record”.
