Chile coach Reinaldo Rueda attacked Inter Milan on Thursday after the injury to Alexis Sanchez and asked European clubs to respect the work of his staff, comments qualified as “unacceptable“by the Lombard club. Reinaldo Rueda regretted that Inter had played Sanchez”45 minutes then 90“in the club’s last matches, despite the physical problems noted during Chile’s previous meetings in October.
“I wish Inter would listen to Alexis when he came back and take care of him, like we did, said the Chile coach at a press conference on the eve of the match against Peru in Santiago, counting towards qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. We are no longer in colonial times.” “With all due respect to European clubs, I would like them to take better care of the players and respect us as we respect them“, he added.
Hours later, Inter responded in a statement, calling the statements “unacceptable, offensive and inconsistent with reality“. Alexis Sanchez “has had physical problems almost every summons with his national team“, added the club, who thought”attentive to the health of its players“.
With only one point gained in the first two matches, Rueda finds himself under pressure in these qualifications. Chile face Peru on Friday and Venezuela four days later.
