The Chilean team it is practically complete. With the only absences of Erick Thumb, Guillermo Maripán and Niklas Castro -who come in flight from Europe-, Reinaldo Rueda’s La Roja had a lively afternoon at the Juan Pinto Durán Sports Complex.
On the occasion the players from Mexico and the United States joined, as well as the stars Arturo Vidal and Fabián Orellana. All in condition, a good indication for the clash with Peru this Friday at South American Qualifiers for Qatar 2022.
It is the second practice that the team develops this week, which will see its activity increased from this Wednesday, with the field rehearsal of the team that Rueda wants to present at the National Stadium.
Although he has not yet done more exercises, it is anticipated that he will maintain a module with four defenders and that he will strengthen the power of Peru with the wings with outside, in the midfield or forward line.
In this sense, the definitions will arrive with the arrival of Maripán and Pulgar, who were starters in the last Copa América, missed the first double elimination date due to injuries and will strengthen the proposal of the Colombian DT.
In the training was also present Cesar Pinares, who had traveled to Brazil for the presentation in his new team, Gremio de Porto Alegre, and appears as starting possibilities in the gestation area of the Chilean team.
Facing the clash with the Peruvians, the team remains optimistic. The spokesperson was Claudio Baeza, who assured that “we are convinced that we can get the six points, and with the full conviction to achieve the results and the objective that is to go to the World Cup.”
Remember that La Roja only adds one unit in the standings, as a result of a defeat with Uruguay in Montevideo and the tie in the epilogue against Colombia in Santiago during October, a record that makes it very necessary to obtain a victory against Peru.
The match against the Rímac team is scheduled for 8:00 p.m. on Friday the 13th at the National Stadium in Santiago, and then the team will visit Venezuela in Caracas, from 6:00 p.m. on Tuesday 17.
