The national goalkeeper ensures that since it is a job, he does not close the doors to anyone. “It’s my job and I characterize myself by wanting to do things well wherever I am, he specifies. Moreover, he diagnoses the complicated moment of Creole football.”
Claudio Bravo defines his future. In conversation with Bio Bio radio, the doorman confirmed that will continue for another year to defend the shirt of Real Betis , a team where he is managed by Manuel Pellegrini and in which he alternates ownership with Rui Silva. “We’ve been talking about it since last year, when I signed a contract extension. I have had a number of meetings and this, compete at this level and at this age It fills me with motivation,” he said.
This way, he doesn’t rule out a possible return to Chilean football when his relationship with Verdiblanco’s side comes to an end, at the end of the 2023/24 season. “The illusion and affection with Colo Colo is mutual. I grew up and I know what it means to be there, but I have always said that it is not something that depends only on me . You have to create a space and I can’t continue my career where I am,” he says. regarding the possibility of returning to the Cacique.
However, it does not close the doors of any institution in the country. “I’ve always been open to any team in Chile, not just Colo Colo. It’s my job, my profession and I’m characterized by wanting to do things well wherever I am,” he says. .
“I have reached a stage in my life where I have fulfilled many challenges, dreams and challenges. Now I am more focused on enjoying my life, I feel privileged. This led me to have a long career: knowing how to take advantage of my opportunities so that it was not a short trip but something long outside the country”, he adds.
Crisis in Chile
Chilean football is going through a difficult period. Poor results at international level and violence have been the main challenges in 2023. “It’s not easy to talk from afar, a lot of things are unknown. But I think there’s a big drop in every direction, a setback in many aspects of football and sport in general,” Bravo explains.
The captain of the national team insists on a point that he knows closely, the export of footballers to the old continent. “We have regressed a lot compared to what was being done. How many players do we have in Europe in strong leagues? We are right on that. It happens in other disciplines, but it’s everyone’s business, not just the athlete or the leader,” he says.
Moreover, the goalkeeper refers to the playoff process which begins during the second half. Bravo hopes to compete to qualify for the World Cup. “The illusion should never be lost, it should always be there. It doesn’t matter where the athletes are, the league level. But it involves something hand in hand that must always be reflected, which is commitment and perseverance. With good work and tools like this, we can guide Chile to the top,” he says.
