Primer partido con un triunfo de 3 a cero contra Albania. También el retorno de Vargas, Isla y Bravo. Los tres que el técnico anterior había descartado.
Ahí se ve el cambio de calidad del técnico. Por lo menos ahora se van a pelear y corregir en marcha todos los partidos.
We already look light years better under Gareca. Best we have looked since Pizzi. No fear from this team and went up 1-0 early, France just tied but this is giving me hope we make the WC and are fun to watch in the Copa! I have…hope? For the first time in a while.
La roja look like a team that can hurt other teams at any moment. I also see that they aren’t relying on Alexis as a funnel for every attack. The midfield shows for every ball and tries to pass it around with intent to hurt. I do think that the team are currently weak on the air, which is something that perhaps can be worked on. Chile has a chance to qualify if this team solidifies its functionality.
Totally agree with you and chances to qualify just went up. It is noticeable how a good coach makes a difference. The federation wasted so much time and money in the previous bad coaches.
I agree with all the comments. I'm pretty happy with the team and players. We finally look like we can create on the attacking end.
No need to bring these two strong personalities to the squad. I don’t think these two are irreplaceable at this point in time. If he does call them in the future it should be as replacements, but no longer as part of the main squad.
Another strong performance! Put away a dismal Paraguay team, but good teams stomp bad teams. Peru couldn't score on this Paraguay side a few days ago. Looking forward to the Copa!
What a lame ass game to watch. Good merit to Peru for challenging all balls. Hopefully things improve from here.
Vidal dice que cuando salimos a jugar afuera, nos pasan la cuenta y no nos podemos enfrentar a los demás porque acá en Chile se llora mucho.
Let’s see how the team plays vs argentina. A good game is needed more than a result imo. Both would be most welcomed though.
I do t think I can remember many games where Chile had 0 shots on goals for half the game. Will the team have any by games end? I doubt they can hold the 0 playing like this.
Una copa ingrata para Chile. Lo mejor fue la defensa. Creo que se consolidaron algunos nombres que quizás no estaban en los planes antes de esta copa. Lo peor el ataque. Hay que encontrar otras opciones en esa faceta. Chile se vio perjudicado por los arbitrajes, pero no fue por eso que no se avanzó. La falta de gol y chances empieza a ser preocupante.
Pareciera que los gallos de ataque no se atreven a tirar al arco por miedo que la embarren. Falta de confianza y el esperar que otros hagan el trabajo.
La problema es del medio campo hacia adelante. No puede ser que Echeverria sea el unico jugador destacado.
