Reinaldo Rueda can not waste time in the hectic schedule of the Chilean team in his preparation to face Colombia on Tuesday, for the second date of the South American qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The Chilean coach practiced an eleven ultra-offensive model, with three forwards and a marked imbalance in the central zone. An idea that sailed through Triple R’s head in the hours leading up to tomorrow’s momentous match.
Although the novelty of the last training sessions was the entry of César Pinares by José Pedro Fuenzalida into the Chilean team, the 4-4-2 remained on the board, as compared to the first game against Uruguay.
However, in the afternoon another formula appeared. The income of no less than Jean Meneses, León de México forward, by Claudio Baeza. A substantive change from what was previously shown.

Jean Meneses is considered the best Chilean soccer player in Mexico today. After steps through San Luis and the University of Concepción, he emigrated to León de Guanajuato, a great host of Liga MX. He has four goals in eleven games this season.
The departure of Baeza, from a good game against Uruguay, also represents a change of roles in the midfield. And is that Arturo Vidal and Charles Aránguiz must share the role of midfielder, with the necessary setback on the court.
In this way, the offensive formula of the Chilean team practiced with Gabriel Arias in goal; Mauricio Isla, Paulo Díaz, Francisco Sierralta and Sebastián Vegas; Vidal, Aránguiz and Pinares in the core; Alexis Sánchez, Eduardo Vargas and Meneses in point.
One more option that is added to the alternatives that Rueda will have to resolve during the day prior to the clash that will be played at the National Stadium, with arbitration by Argentine Darío Herrera.

A strategic move by La Roja
The selection of Colombia is one of the greatest challenges for Reinaldo Rueda, who led the coffee team between 2004 and 2006, although he did not achieve the goal of qualifying for the World Cup in Germany.
On the record, Rueda has two wins, two draws and two losses against his home country team. With the Chilean team there were two 0-0, in the quarterfinals of the Copa América in Brazil and then in Alicante in a friendly.
In these matches, he used two or three forwards in the attack zone, with the inclusion of Fabián Orellana and José Pedro Fuenzalida in the trident.
The modification that appears confirmed is that of the defensive zone, in which the entry of Mauricio Isla will cause the displacement of the last line.
Huaso will nominally replace Nicolás Díaz, so his brother Paulo will accompany Sierralta between the center-backs, and Sebastián Vegas will be a left-handed scorer.
