translated from Spanish: Pablo Galdames: “Chile has shown that it is a competitive team and that is the line we have to follow”

Pablo Galdames, flyer of Vélez Sarsfield of Argentina, referred in the present day to the work carried out by the Chilean national team to measure himself this Friday in friendly to Bolivia, at the Estadio El Teniente de Rancagua.Due to his good time in the ‘Fortín’, the young midfielder was one of the surprises on the first payroll of Martín Lasarte at the head of the national team. At a press conference, the 24-year-old stated that in ‘Juan Pinto Durán’ that “we have done work of intensity, defensive details that he seeks to apply and offensive as well, based on intensity and rhythm. The group is looking forward to it, we will face Friday’s match as it should, it will be an important kick.” On a personal level and with regard to his presence in the ‘Team of All’, the Spanish former Communion noted that “I am in the middle age of young people, but yes, whatever anyone needs, I consider myself a good companion and for whatever they need I will be, whether it is counting experiences or helping in training. That’s what it’s all about, it’s the lineline of the greatest with us and we have to continue with that legacy, the purpose is that the selection is going well.” In addition, Galdames valued being in the ‘Red’ with references such as Gary Medel and Claudio Bravo. “I’m proud, I have pictures with most of them when I was 12 or 14, when I was going to watch the team games. Then it was my turn to be teammates as a sparring for the 2014 World Cup and then with the China Cup that were some. I’m proud, I’m trying to talk to you a lot, to pass on experience or give me advice.” In anticipating the crossing with the Bolivians, the ex-selected U-20 noted that “it will be a difficult, tough match, but let’s hope it goes well for us (…) On playoff issues, without obligation, I think we have to go out and win with everyone we face. Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay, anyone, Chile has shown that it is a competitive team and that is the line we have to follow.” Consulted by Lasarte’s demands for his position on the field, Liniers’ box player said that “the flyers are asked for certain offensive work he considers important. He came up to ask me where I felt most comfortable, so we had a talk about that but with very good vibes. I’m happy about the deal he has with the players.” I can provide the conditions I have for half the group’s court, both in football and in the human. I’ve been in an intense league like Argentina for almost three years, so I’ll add that. Over the past decade we’ve had great flyers and being able to help them, pushing them and competing with them will be a positive thing to learn,” he said.
