What They're Saying
Chile head coach Jorge Sampaoli (via Goal): "I'm very happy with the expectations, the vision and anxiety, but there are things that I shouldn't have to worry about. This group is working well together. There are other players we need to change quickly and this will be a Copa [America] where we have to expect everything. We know that we have two players per position for different systems."
El Salvador head coach Albert Roca (via Goal): "[Chile] have progressed greatly. They are the standard with tactics. They are a team that I have paid attention to ever since Bielsa's tenure. With Sampaoli, they have arrived at a grand moment where if they're not the favorites, they are one of the top three, four teams that can win the Copa America. Playing against them will be an honor and a great test."
