Nine players from that team of the continental tournament make up the selection Berizzo, that has raised expectations of whether anyone will get a chance to become a starter, other than the goalkeeper Brayan Cortés which has been that way since the start of the qualifications.
Against Paraguay, Chile historically knows how to defend its home field. In 65 matches they won 21 of the matches played on Chilean soil, but in the last five qualifying matches the matches in Santiago ended with three red-hot victories.
“It is an important match and a victory that would suit us and we will go for it,” acknowledged Berizzo on the need to score points against the Paraguayans to improve the position in the rankings.
The key to the Chilean team’s game is to improve the relationship between goal situations and goals, added the Argentinian, who continues to be strongly questioned by the press and fans, and with the sword of Damocles above his position.
‘La Roja’ has missed the scoring contribution of its attacking references Ben Brereton and Alexis Sánchez. Although the idea of dominating the game and creating chances has evolved, the team scored just three goals in four games.
The shot of the rush hour Colo Colo Damian Pizarro, who was part of the Pan-American group responds to this, as the Chilean coach sees in his game an opportunity to generate situations in which references can occur.
“I really liked his game, without converting so much that he generates and provokes. I wouldn’t call him just for scoring goals, he has to become a goal optimist, create situations and he will benefit from playing with more experienced players,” said Berizzo.
