Chile compounded their crisis in South American qualifying for the 2026 World Cup after losing 1-2 at home to Brazil on the ninth. Ricardo Gareca's side opened the scoring with a goal from Eduardo Vargas in the first minute, but 'Verdemarela' came back in the 88th minute to seal the victory.
Thus, Arturo Vidal responded to Chile's fourth consecutive defeat – without a win in 6 games – again blaming Argentina coach Ricardo Gareca.
'King' had a blast with the trainer for making changes too late, which gave the competitor a definite advantage.
“Why didn't he make the changes at half-time? The changes should stop the game. It's late. How angry, it can't be. There are times when others are needed,” Vidal commented on the kick-off live.
“If you can't win, you don't lose, that's all. is over Watch the Huns score at the end of the game. Worse, the tie was ready. This match was about getting a point,” said 'King', who has not appeared in the playoffs since the first two dates.
“I can't believe we missed this opportunity. When you're 1-on-1 with Brazil or Argentina, it's always good to stop the ball,” insisted Vidal.
