translated from Spanish: Marptian: “It is a pride to be the most expensive Chilean defense in history”

The national defender Guillermo Maripán highlighted his present in European football, where he is one of the important pieces of AS Monaco, and referred to the process of replacement in the ‘Red’, stating that it is “a great responsibility” to be part of it. At first, the trained at Universidad Católica was asked by how he takes the fact that he is the most expensive zaguero in the history of Chilean football. Maripán reached the cast of the Principality for 18 million euros in mid-2019.” It’s one pride and also one more responsibility. Sounds nice, but you have to show why a club pays that price for one. I take it easy,” he said in dialogue with El Mercurio.After learning of the interest of clubs such as FC Porto, Tottenham and West Ham for their services, the San Miguel native noted that “I take it well. It’s always good for clubs to put their eyes on one, it means I’m on the right track and I’m doing the job well.” “The possibilities are always there and if any are presented, I have to make the best decision to continue to evolve as a professional,” he added. On the other hand, Maripán referred to the process of replacement in the ‘Red’, where he appears as one of the members to take the post of the ‘golden generation’. “I feel part of the replacement and it is a great responsibility for everything he did and taught us the ‘golden generation’. I’m happy to share with her and learn, they’re great players and people,” he said. Regarding Reinaldo Rueda’s work on the combined bench, the 26-year-old noted that “we have had good and bad moments, like everything in life. The professor is doing a difficult job that is generational change. For me, personally it has been an intense but positive cycle and I am clear that we need to keep improving.”
