translated from Spanish: Reinaldo Rueda struck the table, lamented rumours of indiscipline and warned that he has not defined the captain

The coach of the Chilean national team, Reinaldo Rueda, clarified that he has not yet defined who will be the captain of the national team for the friendlies against Argentina and Honduras, as well as highlighting the return of goalkeeper Claudio Bravo to the ‘Roja’ after ca if two years of absence. Asked at the start by the player who will carry the jineta for the next challenges, the strategist of Colombian origin stated at a press conference that “I am in that process. I still have to work with them this afternoon, in theoretical work. That’s where I make the best decisions for the team.” As for the return of the goalkeeper from Manchester City, a key piece in the America’s Cup won in 2015 and 2016, the coach of team of all said that “Claudio’s thing is very good. He’s the big man on the team, by trajectory, age and for everything. He has shared with the rest of the members.” As to whether Bravo will be from the game against the ‘albiceleste’ and the ‘catrachos’, Rueda merely said that “he has earned it for many years, but has to ratify it every day. Even with the aggravation that it does not act, ideally it can bring us its maturity or capacity. And more in that position.” “Luckily he’s recovered. I invited it, accepted it and I hope it will be ratified in every call. He gives us a guarantee. What’s the advantage of him playing with his feet? When the opponent presses me and plays with my feet, the opposing team gives me 20 meters back. If our forwards don’t go to free space, why do we play with the archer? That’s luxury. Then we need the fliers and forwards to take advantage of Claudio’s strategic concept,” he complemented. Another point that Wheel touched in the present day was the rumor of an indiscipline of the ‘Roja’ after beating Colombia in the quarter-finals of the Copa America in Brazil. “I’ve heard rumors of a complaint. I’m sure it’s a very famous person who made that complaint, internationally and globally. If you have that evidence, you must ratify it. We were 42 days concentrated, and 15 days before in Juan Pinto Durán. Big men, parents. In those 42 days, counting the prep games, they played nine games. Six Copa America games in 20 days. All the drunks in Chile were passed over, ripped apart, returned to their clubs. When did you see Chile turn himself in? With all the parties he ever did. They’re freaks,” he said. “We did long trips, more than 20 workouts. They played more than 560 minutes running. I invite the person who made the complaint to watch the parties and respect the professionals of Chile. None of them were torn apart. You, the media, demand us. Do you know what a minute on TV or radio is worth? I don’t know what charge he has. I don’t know how they run, play or perform, if they were drunk. What head is that? With trips and workouts included,” he added. Finally, the mayor of Cali referred to the change of club of Alexis Sanchez, from Manchester United to Inter Milan. “It influences many factors: the weather, the atmosphere, the shirt color, the coach. Joseph Mourinho took him, and then he left. Sometimes you get to the wrong place. Alexis is now cheerful and expressive. He changed completely with that transfer, and he’s going to prove it on the court with Inter. He deserves it, and we need him,” he said.
