This Friday debuts the Chilean National Team in the Copa America 2024 and will do it before Peru, by Group A in Arlington, Texas. And in the middle there is great expectation for what the team led by Ricardo Gareca.
In advance of the premiere of La Roja, he spoke with BOLAVIP the experienced national coach Raul Torowho looked cautiously at the current rival and also analyzed the next opponent that Chile will have: Argentina, which has just beaten Canada 2-0 in the premiere.
“In these games no one is a favorite. I watched Argentina’s game and how it was that if Canada had had a little more peace of mind, it hurts Argentina a couple of times. Being that I found Canada to be an extremely innocent team, except for one or two players. “You have to be very careful and play the best game,” he began by saying.
Next, Toro emphasized the historical importance of the clash between La Roja and Rímac, a duel that is known as the Pacific Classic.
“They are going to play it, because this issue is a classic. Let’s not forget that this match between Chile and Peru has always been a classic and is always taken in another way. Just wait for us to win and finish well, because then it’s Argentina’s turn. I think Argentina and Chile will like it,” said the former coach of Audax Italiano.
Raúl Toro and his preferences in the Chilean National Team
Regarding this day’s match, Raul Toro gave his opinion regarding the starting team that will stop Garecawhere he misses the Argentine nationalized Chilean defender Matías Catalán.
“The only thing I would have wanted was for Catalan to have been there. I saw him very well the other day (in the friendly against Paraguay), for me he was the best in Chile, he was the best defender that day. This match and especially against Argentina, everyone is going to play it. I would not have taken Catalán out,” he indicated.
Along the same lines, he opted for the ownership of Diego Valdes about Dario Osorio in the national attack.
“I loved Valdés. Because let’s not forget that Osorio is coming off an injury and that weighs heavily. Osorio has thousands of opportunities and we have to take advantage of what this bastard Valdés is doing,” he concluded.
