Today, “ESPNF90” discussed the resounding victory of the Argentina National Team ante Chile by 3 to 0 at the Most Monumental. At one point the journalist Sebastian Vignolo He shared a strong opinion about the president of La Roja: “Argentina humiliated Chile. There used to be a rivalry, but not today. Chile was never really a measure for Argentina except in that era when Chile achieved a golden generation.”.
He added: “For me, Argentina’s classic is France right now. Chile was almost like spring, but today everything is back to normal. We are talking about football, if you lose to Uruguay you can lose, the same with Brazil. Chile had moved up a place thanks to players like Vidal or Alexis Sanchez”.
While on the other hand he spoke about the general level of the South American Qualifiers: “Today everything is back to normal. But I also feel that Argentina has raised its level a lot. Uruguay beat us well at La Bombonera and Colombia is flourishing. After that, the rest went to hell… Brazil is still asleep”.
Vidal vs. Gareca and Ruggeri
On the other hand, “ESPNF90” analyzed a very curious video that went viral where Arturo Vidal harshly questions Ricardo Gareca. The Chilean expressed these words while talking in a bar with some friends: “This idiot doesn’t watch the Copa Libertadores matches, he only watches the Argentine championship. “He has to stop inventing things, football is very simple. We can’t give away so much, we have to beat Bolivia no matter what.”
In response to the incident, several users on social media began to share all kinds of reactions, especially memes. Although one of the members of the show decided not to remain silent. Oscar Ruggeri defended the Tiger: “He says that because he didn’t call him, it’s logical. It’s crazy because he arrived two months ago. Vidal was injured when he gave the list. I will defend my friend, I don’t care what they say. Tigre is always travelling and watching games.”
He also added the following: “Given the current situation in Chile, where they haven’t qualified for two World Cups, do you think that Gareca won’t call up players who are breaking him down no matter where they play?… I have no doubt that Vidal would have called him if he was okay.”
He concluded with these words: “Beyond Gareca, Vidal cannot speak like that to the coach of his country’s national team. He is an active player, he can still be called up. He says that you have to work harder, you can prepare yourself the way you want, but against Argentina you will have a hard time.”.
