During his last press conference, he explained that after he came to the south, he contacted some footballers and there were some people who did not respond to his message, which he expressed as a refusal to be part of his process:

“We are very interested in the boys who want and want to be in the national team, I take that into account. I also listen if there is a particular desire and if they give options for other situations or if they want to be a little bit away from everything related to the national team, we are open to that. We arrived in Chile and well, we tried to contact all the boys, there were boys who did not answer the call from the coaching staff and well one respects and tries to respect that privacy they want to to have” he declared.

These words surprised the Chilean journalists, who asked him about the names of the footballers who rejected him. However, the ‘SkinyHe preferred to keep them as a reserve, although he admitted that the situation caught his attention, as he had never had to face situations of this kind during his extensive career as a coach:

“I don’t want to get into that. They are human, we are all human because we have our problems and situations that we have to live with every day and often we are not in the best way. It drew my attention at a certain moment that they did not answer me, as it had never happened to me before.. They are things that one values, more than anything. I have no problem. I brought it up because there are situations you have to overcome and know who you rely on when it comes to football,” he said.

“He must have talked to a player, he must have talked to Arias. I understand that there was a conversation and at some point it must have been said by the selection. Something that seems strange to me, that a player of that size, of that quality and of that career, because of some internal problem in his club, is not in the national team.” he said.

On the other hand, the journalist Gonzalo Fouillioux He pointed out that the players rejected by Gareca were Mauricio Isla and Gabriel Arias, who started the process as starters and are now not even known:

“Arias is one of those left out. It’s impossible for him to go from being a starter to a quarterback. I want to be. What is striking is that the captain of the last two games (Isla) is not in the squad. Being a captain, when the coach chooses the captain, you think that player is going to complete the process. The captain who defined Gareca in the previous duels is not in the call. It is very strange on Gareca’s part if he is a football player,” he said on TNT Sports.
