Disappointment. That is the concept that predominates in the national environment after the poor zero-zero draw of the chilean team against his counterpart from Peru at the start of the Copa America 2024.
And BOLAVIP CHILE went to seek opinions and spoke with the former soccer player, Miguel Ángel Neirawho initially found that the match between Chileans and Incas was of a poor level.
“Both teams are quite bad, quite mediocre. Little football on both sides, just running, foul, foul. The truth is, a pretty bad game, Chile disappointed me,” said Neira.
Going deeper into that, the World Cup winner in Spain 1982 found that the national team played a match where, in his opinion, two players let him down.
“We played like Peru, to clash, to lock. I anticipated it and said that Osorio and Dávila were not good players, they performed well in friendly matches, which is totally different from playing for points,” said Neira, who incidentally had a harsh appreciation of what the former player did. University of Chile. “Osorio was sad, Dávila was sad, but in general I didn’t like Chile at all,” he emphasized.
Neira: “A great luck with Argentina, perhaps”
Now, the challenge is greater than against Argentina, the current world champion. For the former Universidad Católica player, these are games that can generate some surprises, but you will have to have some luck, too.
“We have to improve a lot for the next game, but in those games you never know. Argentina has not been playing so well, one lucky break there and that would be it,” he confessed.
At the end, he was once again saddened by La Roja’s lack of offensive power. “I don’t know if the Peru goalkeeper saved any balls, none of them reached his hands, so that’s worrying,” Neira concluded.
