An ex-teammate of Lionel Messi, involved in a scandal that could disengage him from the Copa América

A new act of indiscipline in the Chilean National Team would have occurred in the middle of the Copa América 2021 that is played in Brazil. It seems that the good start to the tournament with a draw against Argentina and a victory against Bolivia, raised the spirits in the Chilean national team, which would have organized a party at their concentration hotel in the previous duel against Uruguay, this Monday for the third date of the continental tournament.

According to information provided by the Chilean portal ‘Rumbo a Primera Chile’, six selected from the cast led by Martín Lasarte “would be involved with parties and women at the hotel,” said the aforementioned media. In addition, always according to the information on the website, "the coaching staff headed by Martín Lasarte would have the intention to present his resignation", in a press conference announced by the National Team to present its position regarding what happened in the squad.

"A conference will be held to clarify their situation, in addition to saying that last night they would have bought six return tickets," adds the information, taking into account a National Team that did not train last Saturday and will only do so this Sunday afternoon, increasing plus the uncertainty about the team. The truth is that, if such passages really exist, their owners have a first and last name. Of these, only 5 were established, although it is feared that they may become more than those currently being counted. With Arturo Vidal as a star figure, and a more sensitive drop thinking about the tournament, Gary Medel, Charles Aránguiz, Eduardo Vargas and Guillermo Maripán would run the same fate.

Chile will face Uruguay this Monday for date 3 of Group A of the Copa América 2021, at the Arena Pantanal stadium in the city of Cuiabá. The last time that Chile and Uruguay saw each other was on Date 1 of the Qatar 2022 Qualifiers. In that duel, Maestro Tabárez's team won 2-1 against the then-selected team led by Reinaldo Rueda, current DT of Colombia. Chile is on track and one step away from qualifying for the next instance. ‘La Roja’ equalized against Argentina in the opening of Group A, and then added three points against Bolivia, which they defeated 1-0 with the scorer debut of Anglo-Chilean Ben Brerenton.
