The Red Sub 20 coach regrets the crushing defeat against Uruguay, admits that the duel was difficult and that the modifications have been made in view of the next game. “When you want to wake up, the second comes and that’s when everything becomes more difficult,” he summarizes.
Chile gnaws his defeat. The Red Sub 20 team has been largely overtaken by Uruguay and will face the home stretch of the South American climb. “It’s a difficult defeat. The first goal is our mistake, in concept. It’s something that hurts more, because we had discussed it. When you want to wake up, the second comes and that’s where that everything becomes more difficult”, analyzes the coach, Patricio Ormazábal.
A moment was enough for La Celeste to pass over La Rojita who, as his coach admits, played the last minutes thinking about what was next. “The 3-0 is a technical error. At half-time, we tried to correct, but there was nothing left. We tried to manage the game and I think we succeeded. Later we were already thinking about the next match, when we saw that it was not possible, ”he was sincere.
Regarding the changes from the debut against Ecuador, where the team looked very good in the first half, the strategist argues that: “The morale came out tight in the first match and we knew it would be tough against Uruguay. The tournament is not dying today, the ranking is up to us”.
One of the big unknowns in the league is why Lucas Assadi and Dario Osorio don’t play together, like they do at the University of Chile. Against Uruguay, the Hijuelas native was substituted at half-time, according to DT, for being reprimanded. “Osorio was yellow and complained to the referee. The players are children, no matter how much you think they are men, and as a coach you have to protect them. Decisions were made like that,” he explains.
The next duel of the selected team is against Bolivia and ends against Venezuela. Chile, Ormazábal knows, has only a few hours to cheer up. “Confidence is very important and the job of the technical staff will be to recover it. Every day we talk to the players. Now we have to forget that. This tournament is not a place to celebrate or lament, as it is played every 48 hours,” he said.
“We lost ugly and it hurts, we were not up to it. On Tuesday we need to have a much more competitive game,” he added.
To conclude, the coach anticipates what will be the last part of the first phase of the South American Sub 20, where his coaches will seek to qualify for the next round. “Bolivia and Venezuela are the rivals we haven’t faced in preparation. I saw them above, but we’ve already reported. We saw the duel against each other, against Ecuador I couldn’t see it, but they lost towards the end and they are a very tough opponent,” he said.
