We are just hours away from experiencing the long-awaited debut of the Chilean team in the 2024 Copa América in the United States. Everyone’s team will play tonight against their counterpart from Peru at the AT&T Stadium, giving life to a new edition of the Clásico del Peaceful.
One of the players who is most looking forward to action against the Peruvians is Igor Lichnovsky, who with the help of Ricardo Gareca managed to grab a starting jersey in La Roja. Despite the competition, the 30-year-old defender managed to convince the Tiger.
Just before this match, the former University of Chile shared a nice record with his mother, who was in charge of gifting him well before his trip to the United States. Ivon, who has taken care of the family as a result of the premature death of Igor’s father, gave him a lot of love prior to his concentration for the Copa América.
“Don’t come at me with things here, you have to do well. Play it, she is capable, she has legs, she has a head, so she can,” was seen in the player’s video on Instagram, later giving way to several kisses on the cheeks and the gifting on the couch.
Furthermore, just hours before the debut against Peru, Igor published a video with his family, writing that “it has always been a different feeling to play soccer for my country, as you remember that South American or U20 World Cup.”
“Time has passed, and today I find motivation in the joy and excitement that it provokes in my mother, as you can see, always pushing me to be responsible with my goals. What this produces in my family, in the little ones in my Peñaflor commune, and in the different places where I have played and made friends,” she concluded.
