Chilean coach analyzes their performance in the Confederations Cup

'El Mortero' aimed and shot. Jorge Aravena, Chilean coach and former coach of Comerciantes Unidos de Cutervo in the beginning of the 2017 Summer Tournament in Peru, analyzed the achievement of the Chilean national team in qualifying for the Confederations Cup final, indicating that Russia 2018 will be the last World Cup for many of the players. Aravena also regretted that Argentine coach Jorge Sampaoli did not work with the young players who will take over.

"Russia will be the last World Cup for many of the players from the Chilean national team. Sampaoli had the merit of always playing with the same players, but he didn't worry about the young ones who are coming up. On the other hand, Juan Antonio Pizzi is doing it now," revealed Jorge Aravena, former forward of the Chilean national team.

In addition, Jorge Aravena analyzed how Chile controlled Cristiano Ronaldo and his team. "There were two options to control Cristiano Ronaldo's offensive power, one is to disconnect him from the team and the other is to mark him with staggered defense, and fortunately everything worked perfectly," added 'El Mortero' Aravena to Radio Ovación.

Later, Jorge Aravena highlighted the great level shown by the Bayern Munich midfielder. "Arturo Vidal has always shown that he is a great player, he transmits his enthusiasm and that allows the team to have an important reaction capacity," he added.

Finally, Jorge Aravena had some words of praise for Argentine coach Marcelo Bielsa. "Marcelo Bielsa's arrival did a lot of good for Chile and the national team in terms of changing the mentality, although not so much for Chilean football, and also because at that time an extraordinary group of players came together," assured the former '9' of the national team.

It should be noted that Chilean coach Jorge Aravena was hired this year by the board of Comerciantes Unidos de Cutervo, but he was dismissed after only four matches in the Summer Tournament in Peru.
