Mexico a brave, tough team, says Chile coach
Santiago: Jorge Sampaoli, coach of the Chilean soccer national team, said Mexico is “an unpredictable team”, media reported on Monday.
He called Mexico a “brave and tough” team, a news agency reported.
“Mexico is unpredictable due to the speed of its players. It is a very brave and very tough team, they are an obedient team. They will express that in the game,” said Sampaoli.
Chile and Mexico will play next Monday at 8.30 p.m. local time in Santiago’s National Stadium.
Sampaoli said Mexico is a complicated and unpredictable team.
“It is a team that might cause us trouble due to its way of attacking. They have a strong attack, they are fast to come back and play short-distance.
“Mexico is similar to Chile. It will be a dynamic game and very wearing. Mexico plays forcefully,” Sampaoli added.
He also talked about the things his team has to improve after its tough debut against Ecuador.
“We have to improve the pressure, we have to be more aggressive in the rival’s field and we have to make more dangerous plays. We should keep trying all the time.”
About Eduardo Vargas being a first-team player, Sampaoli said: “I trust my team and the players will be used upon the specific needs. It is unfair to think only about names because all of them have the illusion to be and all are important.”
The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.
Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
