translated from Spanish: Claudio Bravo: “We are happy with the game we did against Argentina”

The captain and goalkeeper of the Chilean national team, Claudio Bravo, highlighted what was done by the national team on Monday in the 1-1 equality against Argentina in Rio de Janeiro, in the debut of both teams in the Copa America in Brazil.The experienced goalkeeper was again an important piece in the point achieved against the ‘albiceleste’. Despite not being able to deflect Lionel Messi’s free kick, in the 33rd minute, the Real Betis man was masterful on at least three occasions with shots from Nicolás González and the ‘Pulga’.” We are happy with the match we did against Argentina (…) You always expect to win against a team with which we know each other a lot and at the helm is one of the most accurate players in the world. The meeting is a good satisfaction,” he said. Argentina is a strong opponent, dominates its actions very well, especially with the ball stopped with a performer of that quality (Messi). But we leave happy, we had solid first minutes, we generated some very clear chances. The best feeling is that we competed the 97 minutes we played, at no time did we come down, not even when we were down. To be the first match the feeling is positive,” he added. Then, the former FC Barcelona and Manchester City goalkeeper outlined a self-criticism. “There are things to improve, we must improve with the ball and be calm. Without the ball we are a very uncomfortable team,” he said. To conclude, the Colo Colo traine pointed out that “Chile is there to compete, we have people with experience, people who come squeezing from below, we are going to go step by step. Today was good, it sets the parameters of where we are and how we can compete. We have to take it easy, think about what’s coming and we shouldn’t venture any further.”
