Chile:
After the missed 2018 World Cup, the Chilean national team at this year’s South American Championship with the third Copa America title in succession wanted compensation for missing the finals in Russia operate. After a second place in the group stage behind Uruguay, ahead of Japan and Ecuador, La Roja moved to penalties against Colombia in the semifinals.
There was but after a very disappointing 0: 3 against Peru final. The team of coach Reinaldo Rueda remained only the game for third place, which was lost at the end, with 1: 2 against Argentina. However, the football association continues to rely on the Colombian coach Rueda, who had taken over the national team in January 2018 after the missed World Cup qualification.
Rueda has to lead Chile to Qatar 2022 to Qatar. The previous record of the coach is quite mixed with eight wins, four draws and seven bankruptcies. In the two friendly matches against Argentina and Honduras Chile goes with a very different team than at the Copa America. The national coach refuses to players like Gary Medel, Erick Pulgar or Arturo Vidal.
Instead, other, young players should get a chance. As new captain of the La Roja determined the coach Charles Aranguiz of Leverkusen. Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo returns to the national team after a two-year absence. Alexis Sanchez, who was loaned to Inter Milan just before the transfer list closes, is back in action for the first of the two friendly matches.
Argentina:
The Argentine national team has to do without their top star Lionel Messi for three months. After the 2-0 defeat of the Albiceleste in the semi-finals of the Copa America 2019 and the match for third place, where the superstar of FC Barcelona had seen an unauthorized red card, Messi vented his frustration and voiced fraud allegations against the South American Association.
The association responded to these allegations by locking the “magic flea” for three months and fined $ 50,000. Thus, Argentina has to renounce in four friendly matches, including the match against the German national team on 9 October in Dortmund, on their most important player. In addition, Messi must serve the red card in the first qualifier for the 2022 World Cup next March.
National coach Lionel Scaloni also fails to match stars such as Sergio Aguero and Angel de Maria in their two friendly matches against Chile and Mexico. But with professionals like Otamendi (Man City), Rojo (Man Utd), Tagliafico (Ajax), Paredes (PSG), Lo Celso (Spurs), Martinez (Sevilla) and Dybala (Juve), the Albiceleste still has enough world-class international star power in the squad. Offspring defenders Leonardo Balerdi (BVB) and Lucas Alario (Leverkusen) are in the squad from the Bundesliga.
So far, Balerdi, who came to Dortmund in the winter transfer window of the 2018/19 season for around 16 million euros, still waiting for his replacement in the pros and was previously ran only in the second team of BVB. Olympique Marseille’s Lucas Ocampos, who was due to make his debut in the national team, misses both test matches due to injury.
At the Copa America 2019 Argentina had trembled with only four points in the second round. After a 0-2 draw against Colombia and a 1-1 draw against Paraguay, the Albiceleste had had only one point after two group matches. In the last group game handed a 2-0 against Qatar to qualify for the quarter-finals. There, the two-time World Champion prevailed 2-0 against Venezuela.
The end took place in the semi-final against Brazil. So the team of coach Scaloni remained only the game for third place, which you could win at least 2-1 against Chile. In the end, however, a third place in the South American Championship was still a disappointment for Messi and Co. Since the Copa America victory in 1993, the Albiceleste continues to wait for a big title.
