Ricardo Gareca on facing Peru in the Copa América: “It is an ideal debut”

Ricardo Gareca was presented as the new coach of the Chilean team, this Thursday, January 25, 2024. The ‘Tigre’ will try to revitalize ‘La Roja’, which is down and with a streak of 12 years without attending a World Cup. But the most recent challenge is the Copa América.

In the continental tournament, Chile will debut against Peru and the ‘Tigre’ cannot help but refer to this reunion with the ‘blanquirroja’. Let us remember that they will also have to face Argentina, the country of origin of the DT.

“They are the ideal debuts, of course one has respect for the teams that have been mentioned (Peru and Argentina), but we must be united and have a sense of responsibility,” he mentioned.

During his stay in the Peruvian team, Gareca had to face Chile on more than one occasion, sometimes with victories and sometimes with defeats.

“They are always special, classic games, that people experience differently. Today I have the opportunity to be in the national team, to have faced it many times, to the importance and dimension that Chile has gained. It has always been a difficult selection. Being in front is a very important challenge
