The wait is over. From this Monday, the whole country has its eyes on the Chilean team of Reinaldo Rueda and his fight in the South American Qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
La Roja, led by Alexis Sánchez and Arturo Vidal, begins his dream of reaching a new World Cup event in a special context. No fans in the galleries and with a team hit by the injuries of references such as Claudio Bravo and Gary Medel, the national team will do everything possible to rescue victories against Uruguay and Colombia.
After all the controversy generated after being left out of Russia 2018, things pointed to “last dance” of the Golden Generation in full. But the little activity due to the coronavirus in the whole world made several feel the physical burden.

But even with that, this Monday Rueda will receive the 23 chosen to face Charruas and coffee growers. Two encounters where you need to add not only for the importance in the table, but also to silence criticism and give confidence to a team that is in the process of renovation.
Some who come from abroad, like Paulo Diaz Y Gabriel Arias, They are already in the country and trained this Sunday in Juan Pinto Durán, a venue where the Red will only train since it does not comply with the sanitary measures recommended by the authority.
This is how La Roja comes to the duels against Uruguay and Colombia
The Chilean team will have several casualties, but also names that seek to establish themselves for the future. Names like those of Omar Carabalí, Nicolás Díaz, Guillermo Soto, Tomás Alarcón and Víctor Dávila their chances are at stake in everyone’s team, which needs them more than ever.
Given the limited presence of the referents, Rueda will have to manage to plant a starting eleven that, wherever it is seen, will be unpublished. Although the numbers anticipate what could happen.
Of the 23 players, only seven are undisputed starters at their clubs. Gabriel Arias at Racing, Brayan Cortés at Colo Colo, Guillermo Soto at Palestino, Charles Aránguiz at Bayer Leverkusen, Eduardo Vargas at Tigres, José Pedro Fuenzalida and César Pinares at Universidad Católica they are the ones who arrive in better shape.
But it is not to be discouraged, since several others are adapting to their new clubs or are key from the bench of substitutes, as is the case of Vidal, Sánchez, Mauricio Isla, Sebastián Vegas or Diego Valdés, one of the doubts after leaving with problems in Santos Laguna.
The goal, the biggest focus for Rueda
Matches are won with goals and this is known to Rueda, who has suffered with the forwards during his time in Chile. But without further evidence ahead, the Colombian will play all his cards with what he has.
In that aspect, there are four that arrive scoring: Nicolás Díaz and the aerial game in Mazatlán, César Pinares and his imbalance in UC, Jean Meneses in the Mexican Lion and Eduardo Vargas with Tigres. The latter, got on at the last minute and hopes to ratify his poster of Chilean top scorer.
Alexis arrives being decisive in Inter an Inter of Milan where Vidal gains ground. Charles captain in Germany and the rest confident to fight. La Roja enters qualifying mode with the dream intact, just like a whole country.
