Qatar 2022 qualifiers: Jean Beausejour explains his return to La Roja

The Chilean team had a double date play off irregular, because he beat Peru in the National, and lost to Venezuela in Caracas, generating a series of doubts on the way to the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

To the process returned Jean Beausejour, who had retired from La Roja after the Copa América, but Reinaldo Rueda convinced him to become part of the national team again.

Bose had a lengthy conversation with La Magia Azul on RedGol, where he explained his determination to wear the red jersey again, even though he had stepped aside after the defeat to Argentina for third place in the Copa América in Brazil.

“I was happy with the decision, I do not regret retiring from the national team, I retired at one point as a starter, I have always been in contact with Prof Rueda, we have always been writing to each other, wishing the best, at one point he asked me to return. At first I actually said no to him, and he was calm. This varied in the last month because he focused elsewhere. He felt that my football services were valuable, but it was vital in the process of transition from a path to show, but I He invited us not to be selfish with that and suffer with that, he tells me ‘come and suffer with us,’ “explained the left-back.

The replacement

On the other hand, the defender spoke of the replacement that Rueda is looking for and that the Chilean team needs to fight for a place in the World Cup. According to the southpaw, there are new faces, but it is difficult for them to prevail due to the experience of their Golden Generation colleagues.

“I will try to be as fair as possible. I feel that there is indeed a replacement, and I confirmed it being in the national team, the quality of the players. I am sure and I see it in the U that Chilean players will come out of quality. I say it with knowledge “, he started saying on the subject.

“Now, I also think that the older ones have that extra that we impose on ourselves in training, one of the points why I took a step to the side was that I felt that with the mere presence we inhibited these new talents. Not with reprimand to the others or with that concept of “bastard”, we inhibit it with a gene that is competitive, and that costs a lot to be lost. There is a difficulty for new talents that is to impose themselves. I feel that being the oldest it is difficult to make their arms, that’s why the decision to step aside in that sense, “he added.

Now Jean Beausejour concentrates on Universidad de Chile, a team that is still complicated in the weighted table of the National Championship.
