Sampaoli: ‘Chile can do better’

Coach Jorge Sampaoli believes Chile “fell short” of what they can truly achieve after eliminating World Cup holders Spain.

La Roja have won both opening games to secure a spot in the next round, beating Australia 2-1 and Spain 2-0.

“We showed just what quality we have in this squad,” the tactician from Argentina told journalists.

La Roja have won both opening games to secure a spot in the next round, beating Australia 2-1 and Spain 2-0.

“We showed just what quality we have in this squad,” the tactician from Argentina told journalists.

“Actually, the team fell short of what it can really achieve and now we have to take it one game at a time.”

Chile have already qualified along with the Netherlands, but they go head-to-head on Monday to decide who wins Group B.
