Maybe the Chilean team have many casualties. But Reinaldo Rueda has Alexis Sanchez as the main weapon. The tocopillano is the new captain of La Roja and will lead the team this Tuesday against Colombia, for the second date of the Qualifying Qatar 2022.
The national coach puts the tocopillano as an example. “Alexis has a special plus and that is that La Roja’s shirt is impregnated in his skin and transforms him”Rueda said at a press conference this Monday.
The coach assumes that the circumstances are complex for the Inter forward. “I think Alexis is an exceptional case because of everything he has lived through: two traumatic years. And we can evaluate the best version of Alexis after 10, 15 or 20 games, “he reflected.
“You see that after returning, 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 arrived at the club after him, has played more volume of minutes“, lament.
For this reason, Rueda makes a difference with the Alexis who triumphed in the past. “We cannot accurately evaluate if it is the best version, when we met a better version of Alexis before, when he was in other clubs, at other times,” he stressed.
In that sense, he highlighted what “he experienced at Arsenal and at Barcelona itself, he could not develop it in Manchester, perhaps a few months, now at Inter he has not been able to play 20 games in a row to be able to make an evaluation and achieve the best Alexis’s version. “

In any case, the Colombian coach highlighted the role played by the historic scorer of the Chilean team. “He makes a great effort when he is here, even without having many games in his clubs”, full.
Alexis scored Chile’s only goal in the loss to Uruguay last Thursday, signing him up – along with Marcelo Salas – as the only Chilean footballer to score in four different qualifiers since his debut in 2007.
The Chilean team faces Colombia this Tuesday, for the second date of the South American Qualifiers for the Qatar World Cup 2022, at the National Stadium (9:30 pm), a duel that will be led by Argentine Darío Herrera.
