The Chilean team begins to turn the page after the controversial defeat against Uruguay and is now concentrating on the match against Colombia for the South American Qualifiers towards Qatar 2022. The challenge is complicated by the good debut of the coffee growers against Venezuela and by individual moment that their players go through in different European clubs.
But La Roja also has its weapons to beat a cast with which it has not lost since 2012. Reinaldo Rueda offered a press conference prior to this match, where he highlighted the contribution of Arturo Vidal and dedicated emotional words to him.
“For us it is an honor, and that is why we take it, to come to this team for the men that make it up. We enjoy them and admire what they experienced with Marcelo Bielsa, Jorge Sampaoli and Juan Antonio Pizzi”began the strategist.
“Now we have this responsibility and Arturo has shown that character as a national team player, nobility of heart and that dedication he always has with La Roja and its coaching staff”added.

The coach highlighted the competitive and winning character of King, where he also valued how that attitude has infected his teammates and has been important in lifting the team from the strong criticism they have received during this process.
“That is why he has won everything he won in competitive leagues and he shows it in the national team, that whenever we want him to fulfill a certain function, because he does so given his intelligence and dedication that leaves him without limitations, it is very positive. We respect him and we admire, love and care for him so that he surrenders to us and to the clubs “.
Trust in Alexis
Reinaldo Rueda showed once again that he has blind faith in the banners of the Golden Generation, who are facing their fourth elimination process, and set Alexis Sánchez as an example to follow. “He has a special plus and that is that La Roja’s shirt has it impregnated in his skin and transforms him”, he complemented.
Despite the good level he has shown in recent months each time he enters, including the duel with Uruguay, the strategist assumes that he is experiencing a special present due to the lack of regularity in his playing minutes.
“I think Alexis’s is an exceptional case because of everything he has lived through: two traumatic years. And the best version of Alexis can be evaluated after 10, 15 or 20 games. You see that after the return, he started (in the team), he got hurt, he stopped again, now he is starting and you have seen that two or three times he has entered 10 or 12 minutes, including Arturo, who came after him to the club , has played more volume of minutes. We cannot evaluate if it is his best version “he reflected.
Finally, he highlighted the role played by Tocopillano, who has not been able to enjoy all the minutes he wanted in La Roja because of the physical problems that afflicted him. “He makes a great effort when he is here, even without having many games in his clubs”, full.
