Not being a ‘gold coin’ is a very human condition. Sometimes it is not enough to be authentic, hard-working, dedicated, professional … Not even the sum of all the virtues is enough for some.
It may be what Reinaldo Rueda, former coach of the Chilean National Team, still suffers now, who has been harshly criticized by Jorge Valdivia, former Copa América champion, and who in his last years was no longer called up to the team.
“I was very little time with Piscis and nothing with Rueda, but I know that with Rueda they worked very badly …”, Valdivia said in statements to ESPN Chile.
What do you mean? To Rueda, to his method, to his handling? His statement is somewhat general: “Old for players who came and demanded to work in a way because that’s how they feel football in training, they feel better,” explained the critic.
Valdivia became a very close reference to Vidal or Alexis Sánchez in the so-called ‘golden generation’ of Chile and their permanent contact with them raises the doubt as to whether they are also so dissatisfied, despite how affectionate and respectful they have always been with Wheel.
It is worth saying that the Colombian coach led 27 games with the Chileans, with 10 wins, 7 draws and 10 defeats as balance, and a process of return to a World Cup that was not decided and that now, after the rugged start of the era Martín Lasarte seems to be rebuilding himself, as Chile already surpasses Colombia in the qualifying table for Qatar 2022, as it has the same 16 points, but a better goal difference.
