The Peruvian team might not save any points during its visit to Chile and ended up losing 0-2 in the framework of date 3 of the South American Qualifiers towards the 2026 World Cup in North America. The Monumental stadium in Santiago was the stage where the ‘bicolor’ had a poor performance and succumbed to a goal from Diego Valdés and an own goal from Marcos López. However, what caught the most attention was the style of play that the national team showed on the field. In that sense, Diego Rebagliati made a crude analysis and left three unforgiving phrases that have to do with the way he lost, the plan with the ball and the future of the team.

“There are ways to lose and I think this is the worst of all. Playing poorly, defending too much, you might lose it, with a stopped ball and a goal in the last minute. A timid team, confused with the ball, unable to put together the game and generate danger until we received the goal once morest where we had some situations,” were his first words in Movistar Deportes following this tough result.

In that, he was once morest the proposal raised by coach Juan Reynoso. “A team that had accustomed us to playing much better and that, at this point, leaves us with a huge feeling that there is no point in continuing to play like this, that we have to be much more encouraged, that we have to put players on the field with much more “I play to return to being that team that had the personality of standing on any court and playing,” he said.

Evidently, the collective functioning that the national team had inherited from Ricardo Gareca was forgotten and classification for the World Cup is beginning to be a utopia. “Then you can win and lose and, surely, in this South American Qualifier that is so hard for us, we are going to lose a lot, especially as visitors. But the image that Peru gave is very bad, and we have to improve it very quickly because otherwise, even though there are many places, everything will be very far away. This time we are from the game and now on the table,” he said.

Diego Rebagliati was very emphatic when listing the reasons why Peru succumbed to Chile in Santiago, being very blunt in his position. “Complicated because the game was disappointing us as the minutes progressed. We have stopped commenting on games in which Peru held zero and one was involved because we might see a plan that had variants. What happened is very frustrating because the team with the ball was absolutely incapable of stringing together three passes in a row with attacking intent. The number of backward passes was an invitation for Chile to put pressure on us, it was infuriating,” he said.

That was when the commentator completed with the other two sentences that summarize the situation in which the Peruvian team finds itself despite the fact that it is now located, with this result once morest, in penultimate place in the South American Qualifiers with only one point (from tie with Paraguay in Ciudad del Este). Along these lines, there is one more match left on this October matchday once morest Argentina in Lima on Tuesday, October 17.

“I want the team to do well, but in the last minutes I didn’t even look at the clock because the game didn’t invite hope. When Carrillo entered, he almost went toe-to-toe with Cortés. But the team’s plan with the ball at its feet is a total failure. The defensive plan is understood and there is a very big effort to carry it out, but playing like this we do not have a very promising future,” he said.

The commentator attacked the ‘two-tone’ approach and was pessimistic regarding the future. (Video: Movistar Deportes)
