Moreover, the La Roja coach announced that Gary Medel, Gonzalo Tapia and Marcelino Núñez had ‘undefined’ antigen test results and could add to the losses of Pablo Parra and Esteban Pavez.
Eduardo Berizzo and La Roja are preparing for what will be their next participation in the Kirin Cup which will take place in Japan. The first challenge of the tournament for the national team will be Tunisia, although the Argentine coach still has three uncertain players.
As he explained at a press conference,Today we had an antigen check and some tests were undefined, which were Gary (Medel), (Gonzalo) Tapia and (Marcelino) Núñez. Added to this is the loss of Esteban Pavez in Korea and the injury of Pablo Parra “, he pointed.
As a result, the eventual alignment of the Red is still uncertain. “We depend on the result of tomorrow’s test to confirm the formation exactly. In case they can play, we will try to continue seeing footballers. If Gary can play, he will surely be in the game . I would like to give continuity to his position along with other colleagues, but everything is done to the detriment of today’s results . It’s a complex scenario, a long journey with exposure to contagion and we recover, or we resolve situations that arise all the time,” he said.
In any case, there is a player who is preparing to start. This is Zacarías López who has been confirmed by the DT to join the starting XI of the competition .
On occasion, Berizzo took the opportunity to dig deeper into why he placed Medel in the midfield instead of occupying him as central. “It’s a great pressure mover ” Underline.
He also spoke about the crossover between Benjamín Kuscevic and Paulo Díaz during the game against South Korea. “We talked about it. It was a heated discussion that shouldn’t happen. I discussed it with them and it won’t happen again. the problem is solved ”.
Finally, he admitted to waiting for the decision that FIFA could take in the Byron Castillo case. “We are awaiting the decision. Paying close attention to it. In case it takes us to the next World Cup, our times, our process will be shortened and if not it will take longer.
The duel between La Roja and Tunisia for the Kirin Cup is scheduled for this Friday at 02:15 in Chile.
