The coach was hurt by the South American’s elimination from the category and assured that he would like to continue leading La Rojita.
Red Sub 20’s loss to Venezuela hit deep. It was enough for Chile to equalize, but even so it was not enough and ended up falling by the minimum score against Vinotino. The removal of south american and, therefore, the World Cup in the category was a resounding failure.
Coach Patricio Ormazábal was self-critical after the result and assured that they had missed the favorable options they had to qualify for the hexagonal final of the contest: “We had in this game the fatality of the penalty and then we knew that everything was going to end, that it was going to be difficult for us to play against a good team like Venezuela and unfortunately we missed the opportunity ”.
“We are just organizing ourselves, but there is clearly self-criticism. I am the coach, I am the one who chooses the players and I have chosen these 23, the one who plans the games and clearly there is a significant degree of guilt in the technical staff “, he completed.
want to continue
Throughout the tournament, the Reds paled in comparison. Expectations were high in the previous one, especially given the results of previous friendlies against Brazil and Uruguay. However, in four duels, the students of Ormazábal added only one victory and one draw, with only two goals for and five against.
This, added to what players like Lucas Assadi, Joan Cruz and Darío Osorio could do. However, none of the three national team figures had the expected continuity. The former was just a starter in the last two games, although he managed to score the goal in the only win against Bolivia. That of Colo Colo never managed to settle in the stellar eleven and missed the last duel due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Meanwhile, the latter, who assisted on both goals scored, was the team’s most disruptive. That’s why his substitution in the last memorable game caught the eye. Given this, the strategist assured that “We make all the decisions we make based on what they do with us, not what they do with their teams and not because of what is speculated about whether they can go to another team . We make decisions based on the performance they achieve in our training and in our planning ”.
The coach was consulted for his continuity and was interested in continuing to command the national team: “Obviously yes, to say that we would not want to be in the Chilean team is a lie. I had the privilege of being here, I worked hard and I am hurt by the result “, he underlined during a conversation with ADN.
