What They're Saying
Chile forward Alexis Sanchez (via Eurosport): "We're all good. It was an exchange of opinions like [the media] loves, it's normal. Everything's sorted, there's no fight [between the players] and we are all calm. They're things that happen in a match."
Ecuador head coach Gustavo Quinteros (via ESPN): "No, the advantage Chile have is that the team has worked with the same manager for more than four years, with the same players. Basically, it's the same group that played at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. That's the advantage they have. They know what they have to do and it's second nature for them. In that regard, they're not worried about anything. We are worried because our team functions how it functions. We can't make errors."
