The 11 chosen by Lasarte: the bet for his debut in La Roja

La Roja by Martín Lasarte has already finished his theoretical course and it is time for him to take to the field, to show how much he learned in Juan Pinto Durán’s laboratory.

And the test will not be easy, because they will have Bolivia in front (Friday, 10 pm), the same team that gave a lethal blow to Chile in the last qualifying rounds and that risks their lives every time they have to play against them.

For the same; Machete chose with tweezers the men who will step on the field of El Teniente de Rancagua, because his idea – according to he said – is that “we can take as much information as possible and thus draw conclusions that can be used for the games that may come later.”

Of course, the main conclusions to be drawn are how to break with the drought of the forwards of the two-time champion of America, since the scorer of the Qualifiers is Arturo Vidal (absent due to injury) and the numbers of the three battering rams that will mark his debut, no they are quite encouraging. Let’s meet the eleven blessed …

In the goal will be Claudio Bravo, who regained the ownership of Betis a week ago and managed to leave his goal at zero (his team won 2-0), to get all the praise from the Spanish press.

The young Santiago Wanderers defender, Diego González, will be in charge of the right wing. In Juan Pinto Durán they assured that Lasarte spoke with the defender to place him in that position and the will was absolute.

Gary Medel will meet again with the National Team after a long absence and although everything indicates that he will be the captain, Lasarte played the mystery. “They will know when they see him on the court,” he said.

Sebastián Vegas will be the other center-back and the man has faith, since this week he asserted that “I am going through a great moment and I have participated in all the games.”

Jean Beauejour does not go out of style. Even Reinaldo Rueda convinced him to come back, when he had retired from La Roja and now Lasarte confirmed it on the left wing.

Velez Sarfield’s midfielder, Pablo Galdames, assured this week that he was “ready” to take a place in the star eleven and Martín Lasarte will give him his chance.

César Pinares should move the strings in the game against Bolivia and thus show that he can fight for a position in the Red, because – he clarified – “I will be 31 years old when the World Cup is played.”

It was the revelation of the championship and he signed at Inter in Porto Alegre. That is why Carlos Palacios is now beginning to walk the path of Prince Charles Aránguiz and will be one of the men to take into account against Bolivia.

Fabián Orellana starts again at La Roja and is coming off a good campaign in Spain. He has played 25 games for Real Valladolid and has scored four goals.

Luis Jiménez was one of the stars of the last tournament and everyone was waiting for his return to La Roja. Against Bolivia he will be the center forward and will try to show that his 12 goals in the 2020 season can be repeated in the Qualifiers.

Jean Meneses will occupy the left wing of the attack and will seek to repeat his good performance in León de México, where he has scored six goals this season.
