translated from Spanish: La Roja faces Bolivia in their second Copa America matchup

At 17 hours the Chilean team will seek its first three points in this Copa America against the Bolivian team, in the second round of the group stage of the tournament. The national team debuted with a 1-1 draw against Argentina, an opponent with which it had already been measured at the beginning of the month for the South American qualifiers, in a duel that ended with the same score. With Bolivia, la Roja also had a chance for the qualifiers, in a match that ended tied at one goal, after a dubious penalty taken against Chile by hand in the area of Guillermo Maripán. The Bolivian team announced yesterday that it has five casualties due to positive cases of covid in the squad, while la Roja announced one case in the delegation. DT Martin Lasarte, could bet, as he did in Santiago, on a line of three in the background, with Isla and Mena as offensive lanes. The team must also face the absence of Alexis Sanchez and although there was speculation about the options that Ben Brereton would have, after the good impression he left on his entry against the trasandinos, “Machete” was concerned to lower expectations and said that “I do not want to carry on Ben a backpack that is not fair. It’s on the road, there’s the journey.” A possible formation of the Red would be with Bravo; Roco, Medel, Maripán in defense; Isla, Pulgar, Aránguiz, Vidal and Mena in midfield, leaving Vargas and Jean Meneses on offense.
