Tencent Sports, June 21 At 7:00 on June 22, Beijing time, Chile played Ecuador in the second round of the 2019 America's Cup group match. Chile is expected to advance to the knockout stage, and Vargas may surpass Batistuta's scoring record in the Copa America. Tencent Sports will broadcast the game with pictures and texts, please pay attention!
1. Chile's promotion is in sight
In the first round of the group game, Chile defeated Japan 4-0, while Ecuador lost 4-4 to Uruguay. If it can defeat Ecuador in the second round, Chile is expected to become another team after Colombia to advance to the knockout stage. Chile has won 12, drawn 1 and lost 1 against Ecuador 14 times in the Copa America. Since it lost 1-2 in 1997, Chile has never lost to Ecuador in the Copa America.
2. Ecuador may continue to be unsurpassed
Since Gomez took the helm in August 2018, Ecuador has been defeated in the last five wars, and lost the first round to Uruguay 0-4. Since the 4-0 victory over Venezuela in 2001, Ecuador has never won the Copa America against South American teams 12 times. In the last two Copa America matches, Ecuador lost 7 goals to Mexico 2-3 and Uruguay 4-4 respectively, which was the first time since November 2007. It is worth mentioning that the last time the two teams met on a neutral ground was in 2012, when Ecuador defeated Chile 3-0, while Rueda, who was in charge of Ecuador at that time, is now in charge of Chile.
3. Vargas or beyond Batistuta
After scoring two goals against Japan, Vargas has scored 12 goals in the Copa America, surpassing the Peruvian veteran Guerrero, becoming the best shooter in the Copa America for active players and the first player to rank among the top 10 historical shooters in the Copa America in this century. In the first game against Ecuador, if Vargas scored twice, he would surpass the legendary Argentine shooter Manuel Moreno, Batistuta and the legendary Uruguayan shooter Scaroni who scored 13 goals, ranking fifth in the history of the Copa America.
Egas (President of the Ecuadorian Football Association): "We cannot fully understand what has happened to us. It is not the fault of one or two people. If we think that the crisis of the national team is only caused by one person, then we have made a mistake. We are paying the price for the poor performance in the past few years. Will Gomez continue to coach after the Copa America? It is irresponsible to discuss this issue while the Copa America is still in progress. "
Ortiz (Ecuador goalkeeper): "Rueda always trusted you, which was great for the players. Many people said that our current process is not good, but we are ready. We always have the idea of continuing to improve, and we are full of confidence in Gomez."
