The coach of the Bolivian national team, César Farías, presented little self-criticism when analyzing the performance of the highland team in the 2-1 defeat against Chile, in a friendly match played at the El Teniente de Rancagua Stadium.

Asked about the setback against the ‘Roja’, who had the premiere of Martín Lasarte as coach, the strategist of Venezuelan origin declared that “Chile had not arrived and in a ball that hits our player’s back, the goal is produced that way. It is true that Chile had more possession, but in shots on goal it was not so superior ”.

“We had tactical order, the ability to put the game one by one, with VAR there would have been a penalty or two ”, he added, pointing to certain errors of the central referee, the Paraguayan Juan Benítez.

In addition, the technician of the ‘green’ admitted that “it was difficult for us to settle down. In principle we did not make mistakes, it was the stopped ball play that opened the game. We wanted to close the diagonals of Chile from the outside to the inside. At times we succeed. Then we received the second goal with two superiority to one plus the goalkeeper, it left a bad taste ”.

Finally, perhaps in his only criticism of what his squad showed, Farías stated that “We want better performance, we know we must improve.”

On the other hand, the Bolivian scorer Marcelo Moreno Martins pointed out that “We always try to look for the result. It is not easy to play as a visitor against a team that has had a very clear playing identity for a long time ”.

“We try to do everything to play them well, but they are a strong team, there is no room for them. We gave him space in the first half and they scored a goal for us ”, added the author of the only visiting goal in Rancagua.
