translated from Spanish: Orellana: “What I remember most after the goal to Argentina is the affection of the people”

National striker Fabián Orellana referred to his debut with the chilean national team’s house, after the recent 12th year of that time, and gave details of the historic day where he scored the only goal combined in the win over Argentina by the 2010 World Cup qualifiers in South Africa.When it came to recalling their premiere with the ‘Team of All’ , the now Spanish Eibar player told the official website of the ‘Roja’ that “several years have passed. Always being able to be called up with the adult team is very nice and play that match against Panama (on his debut), with colleagues he already knew I think helped me make it easier to adapt. I felt a lot of joy and excitement as I debuted for the ‘Red’.” Regarding the historic victory over the ‘albiceleste’, on October 15, 2008 at the Estadio Nacional, the trained in Audax Italiano said that “when I know I will be a starter, I try to be as quiet as possible, but it was complicated because I had to play against Argentina, who have very good players and we know what football means. It was a great responsibility.” It was a very good game of all. We were always close to every player of them and with the ball we were fine. The collective was essential to that triumph. I was fortunate enough to score the goal, but if I did another one I was going to be just as happy. It was a beautiful triumph,” he added. Orellana even admitted that that target for the two-time champions of the world changed her life. “It changed quite a bit. I was a player from a humble team like Audax and after that goal and going to the national team, people knew me more. The recognition and affection of the people is immense and it is what I remember most after that goal against Argentina,” he said. Finally, the former player from Celta de Vigo and Valencia noted that “being in the national team is the best thing that can happen to you as a player. Participating in these two World Cups (in South Africa and Brazil) and being champion with Chile in the 2016 Centenario Cup are nice memories that are always present. Wearing your country’s shirt is the best thing that can happen to you as a footballer.”
