CHILE vs Perú, 29 de junio en Santiago (Copa América 2015) [R]

Ojala para las eliminatorias Sampaoli considere a Enzo Roco, Lichnovsky y a Pulgar de la UC, pensando en el tema de la estatura, y considerando va a estar fuera al menos 1 partido.

 

prefiero a Albornoz, pero ya veremos... aunque pensando en como nos fue en el mundial, quiza el GAto era el remplazo natural de Jara.

 

El gato es mejor jugador que Rojas. Albornoz no es malo, pero le veo miedo a perder el balon, cual influye en sus decisiones al dar un pase.

 

Albornoz rinde de central, no sale jugando nica pero necesitamos que marque a Guerrero y despeje.

 

Tampoco entiendo la mania de Sampaoli de que todos salgan jugando, perfectamente Miiko puede dar un pase corto a Medel o Diaz para que ellos salgan, o buscar a los laterales... en fin.

 

Agreed on Silva. He does not excel, but gets the job done in a line of 3 (e.g. vs. Germany in preparatory 2014 WC friendly & vs. Spain in 2014 WC). The only excuse that I'd accept from the coaching staff would be that he has not gotten a lot of game time at club level. If given the option of Silva or Rojas, though, I'd pick Silva without hesitation.

I think that Albornoz has the tools, but he hasn't been exposed to a central defensive role enough. He seems to be more confident on either flank as a full-back.

 

I think that this is Albornoz's strong point if considered for that role. In that sense, I wouldn't care too much if he doesn't pass it out of the backline, as long as he can pick out a team-mate with a short pass or if he blasts it out of the defensive zone in a dangerous situation.

 

As long as it's not Rojas...

 

Zambrano se volvió loco... muchas gracias, lol. Ahora cuidado que el arbitro va a buscar compensar. A que Chileno se va a cagar...

 

Ahora estamos 10 contra 10, porque no podemos decir que Pepe Rojas está jugando.

 

Albornoz and rojas look pretty bad out there.

 

¿No tenemos a nadie mejor que Albornoz? por favor.

 

It seemed like an offside goal, to me. The run from Aránguiz is onside, but it appears as though the play is offside as soon as the ball comes off the post; the keeper had not touched it at that point, either.

 

Potential onside goal to Vargas dismissed as offside in the 49th; maybe, the officials have tried to compensate for the decision on the first goal.

 

Flojo el partido de Chile... se relajo mucho despues de la roja.

 

1-1. Good spell by Peru.

 

Peru has the edge right now, as they probably feel as though they have nothing to lose.

 

Woah. Great goal. 2-1.

 

When this midfield clicks, it works quite well. Valdivia subbed in the 80th; played well, and did what he was expected to do.

Alexis needs a rest.

 

The only good thing in the match.

 

He's been very poor this cup IMO. Started decently in the group stages but has been fading as we wen't along. Completely anonymous today. I hope for Chile's sake he's saving the best for last.

 

Peru shook us from the start of the second half. We did look lazy, but worked our way back into it. I think that that assessment would be fair. The midfield lifted in the last 35 minutes. How do you guys rate our midfield compared to the rest of the teams in the competition? I'd say that it's one of the best at this point. Even Pizarro impressed me, to be honest, in the last 30. He still has it; turns guys inside out and knows how to pick out a long pass.

 

Absolutamente nada que celebrar. Se ganó con mucho orto, pero como en la mayoría de partidos ganados en el torneo queda un manto de dudas la legitimidad del mismo.

Con un hombre más hay que vencer claramente, de otra manera el oponente tiene la excusa del arbitraje y los "hubieras".

Qué más decir. Alexis cagón, Pepe Rojas un asco como era de esperarse y Sampaoli, no vas a ganar la Copa por no llevar defensas. Burro.

 

Rojas, Albornoz and Díaz were not at the level required. Alexis, we already knew about. I think Albornoz is a player for the future. He needs to build confidence. I remember when Beau first started out many years ago, he did not have many fans, and he gradually made his presence count after Bielsa showed some belief in him.

I'd say that it's been that kind of event. No team has impressed, really.
