The newspaper Olé made a comparison between the Everyone’s Team and a European team, highlighting the poor performance of the team led by Ricardo Gareca.
This Tuesday, the year ended for La Roja in the Qualifiers. The national team managed to beat Venezuela at the National Stadium by 4-2, giving Ricardo Gareca the first victory since he took charge of the national bank.
With this victory, the Everyone’s Team once again launches into the fight for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. . Even if in South America we applauded what Chile achieved, in Argentina we took the time to once again mock La Roja’s gift.
Concretely, the Olé newspaper used a particular comparison of statistics. “Data is data “, they wrote by way of introduction before comparing the year of La Roja with that of San Marino.
« 4 official matches of San Marino in 2024: TWO (2) victories, a draw and a defeat “, they explained. Next comes the national data. “9 official matches for Chile in 2024: ONE (1) victory, three draws and five defeats “.
All this text was accompanied by a double image with players from the European State and Chile celebrating with the text: “San Marino finished 2024 with more official matches won than Chile “.
Leaving aside the mockery, the same media highlighted Chile’s first victory with Gareca on the bench. “Chile beat Venezuela in a direct duel and Gareca is breathing,” they headlined in a note on the match.
“Ricardo Gareca’s team not only managed to survive in an extremely hostile environment, but they also won 3-2. A point in favor of the Tiger team is that not only did they turn the situation around, but they also managed to mentally recover from the score of 0-1 and 1-2, which had elicited whistles from the stands. “, they emphasized later.
“Chile is raising its head. After six games, Ricardo Gareca achieved his first victory as Chilean coach and although they are still far from the classification zone with nine points, the truth is that they achieved an important victory by a point of psychological view which has a direct impact on the social atmosphere. , which was extremely lively with the former Peruvian coach,” they argued.
TYC Sports, for its part, reported that “Gareca’s Chile returned against Venezuela and found respite in South American qualifiers “.
“Chile beat Venezuela 4-2 at the National Stadium in Santiago in a great match. A victory that gives Ricardo Gareca’s team an advantage in the standings, even if it is still outside the ranking positions,” they added.
Infobae, in turn, reported that “Chile achieved an important victory by beating Venezuela 4-2 in an exciting match of the South American qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The match took place at the National Stadium of Santiago , OrThe team led by Ricardo Gareca managed to turn the situation around and stand out in the standings, although they are still outside the ranking positions. “.
