The coach of the Reds also mentioned the fall against Tunisia for the Kirin Cup by 2-0. He suffered a decline in player physique due to the effort against South Korea.
Early this Friday, Chile and Tunisia met in one of the semi-finals of the Kirin Cup taking place in Japan. The result proved to be in favor of the African team 2-0, so the Reds already have two defeats under the Berizzo era.
After the duel, it was the Argentine coach himself who analyzed the match, but not before mentioning the resolution of the FIFA judgment that he will make this Friday in relation to the Byron Castillo affair.
“We ignore the resolution, wait yes, but we stay away and it’s not part of the daily life of the team “, began the DT in a press conference. Moreover, when asked about a possible definite decision in favor of Chile, he indicated that “We have no information on the veracity of this news, we do not know if it was the case, I cannot answer that ”.
Concerning the match against Tunisia, he underlined in his analysis that “in the first half we did not have the freshness to press well, We weren’t in good physical shape because of the exertion the other day. In the second half we improved, with more order, with tighter pressure, we had chances and we didn’t finish them . In the end, we still want to avoid being defeated, but we are looking for the beginning of the process and for there to be a rotation”.
He also took the time to assess Gary Medel’s performance in his new position and the team in general. “The previous duel wore him out. He went a few days without training. He started the match with an obvious physical drop and. The position of the steering wheel is an alternative for us. When I was talking about physical decline, I was referring to people repeating the effort. The team didn’t have that physical intensity to get the ball back, which is a very big problem in our scheme. ”.
In any case, Chile is assured of a new match, which will be against the loser of the second semi-final between Japan and Ghana. “For me it was very important to lead this tour, because of learning from them, it’s a contact that I appreciate and everyone is under observation, everyone who has come here is fighting for a space, we can draw very important conclusions from the three games we play ”.
