Argentina and Chile will meet again in a Copa América
The fight for third place does not generate many expectations as a general rule. And the Copa América 2019 is no exception. The initial whistle will be at 3:00 p.m. at the Arena Corinthians in Brazil.
Various specialists have raised the following possible alignments for both teams:
Argentina : Franco Armani — Juan Foyth, German Pezzela, Nicolás Otamendi, Nicolás Tagliafico — Rodrigo De Paul, Leandro Paredes, Giovani Lo Celso or Ángel Di María — Lionel Messi — Sergio Agüero, Paulo Dybala. DT: Lionel Scaloni.
Chile : Gabriel Arias — Mauricio Isla, Gary Medel, Guillermo Maripán, Jean Beausejour — Erick Pulgar, Charles Aránguiz, Arturo Vidal or Pedro Pablo Hernández — José Pedro Fuenzalida, Eduardo Vargas, Alexis Sánchez. DT: Reinaldo Rueda.
In the last editions of the Copa América, both teams have met several times, but this time it will not be for the highest title as in the 2015 and 2016 editions, but for third place.
Argentina fell 2-0 on Tuesday in the semifinal match with Brazil, in its best match of the tournament, but that does not hide the fact that it is a new failure for the Albicelestes.
Given what happened, the Argentine Football Association complained to Conmebol about the "serious and gross arbitration errors", including the omission in the use of VAR (Video Assistant Referee or video arbitration) "in at least two specific plays that clearly They influenced the final outcome of the match".
Chile, lost the opportunity to be crowned champion of the Copa América for the third time in a row by falling against Peru. The win sank a team that with its play during the tournament had excited its fans.
The Argentine coach Scaloni, was ratified on the bench until this Copa América, he will not be able to count on his two main players, midfielder Marcos Acuña and revelation striker Lautaro Martínez, as both have reached the yellow card limit. It is possible that he will use Matías Suárez or Paulo Dybala as a substitute.
Chilean coach Rueda will also have to do his best in this game. One of his figures, Arturo Vidal, did not train this Friday and is the big doubt in the game because he is injured.
