Chile concentration on destiny after softened display

• Chile exit after dual defeats and a draw, and no goals scored
• Captain Lucas Alarcon rues his side’s opening dual losses
• “Against Mexico, we showed who we unequivocally are,” he insists

“You have to learn from your mistakes, so as not to repeat them,” says Chile captain Lucas Alarcon, left to consternation what competence have been after his team’s 0-0 pull with Mexico during a FIFA U-17 World Cup India 2017. Unfortunately for him, a South Americans committed too many errors in their initial dual Group F games – and there was no approach behind in their final tour opposite El Tri.

“The approach we played in a initial dual matches only isn’t who we are,” insists Alarcon, still smarting after his team’s unsatisfactory start. Chile kicked off with a 4-0 detriment to England and 3-0 retreat opposite Iraq, and their skipper feels a miss of thoroughness was during slightest partly to blame: “We weren’t focused enough, and maybe a meridian influenced us as well.”

Despite those complicated defeats, La Rojita could still have incited their conditions around in their third encounter. A place in a final 16 was theirs if they could overcome Mexico, and they went about their charge with transparent intent. Chile gave all to mangle a deadlock while tightening adult during a back, though a essential idea they indispensable never came.  

“Today, we showed a opposite side to ourselves and we did a inhabitant organisation justice,” says a Universidad de Chile defender. “We came here to win a final compare and attempted everything, though it was too late and not adequate for us to qualify.”

Instead, Chile now face an early excursion home, nonetheless their captain believes they had a peculiarity to swell further. “Every organisation during a World Cup is unequivocally strong, and that was unequivocally a box with a teams in a group,” he says. “But I’m certain they weren’t stronger than us. We only didn’t play during a best turn in a initial dual matches. We didn’t uncover what we’re able of.”

Chile during India 2017:
– Three games, dual defeats and a draw
– Seven goals conceded, nothing scored
– Eight yellow cards, one red: a misfortune disciplinary record

Chile before India 2017:
– Earned their initial mark during a U-17 World Cup given 1997 (qualified as hosts in 2015)
– Five wins during a South American U-17 Championship

It might be meagre consolation, though Alarcon and Co gave a softened denote of their peculiarity in Guwahati, carrying suffered their opening defeats in Kolkata. The spectators in assemblage got to declare a well-organised, bold and unaffected team, who focused on fortifying good before going for pennyless in a shutting mins – eventually in vain. “What we pronounced to my team-mates in a sauce room is that we was unapproachable to captain a side that gave all adult until a end, notwithstanding all a difficulties,” Alarcon told FIFA.com. “Today, we saw a organisation that fights and never gives up, and one that gave all to try to qualify. That’s who this organisation unequivocally is.”

Chile’s softened opening opposite Mexico might have come too late to rescue their campaign, though their captain hopes their knowledge in India will be a start of something special – generally as it came after their initial successful lean during a South American qualifiers in 20 years. “You learn a lot during a World Cup,” he explained. “We wish that’ll assistance us validate for a U-20 World Cup, and maybe one day acquire us a place in a comparison team.”
