Gareca’s anger and all of Chile with Carlos Palacios, the player Boca wants :: Olé

In Chile the situation could not be worse: La Roja has its worst start in a Qualifiers that were already played in half and to make matters worse, Peru’s victory against Uruguay left them last, six points from the playoffs. As if that were not enough and criticism of Ricardo Gareca they don’t stop now A new controversy was added: Carlos Palacios dropped out of the call due to “personal problems” and he will not be there to visit Colombia on Tuesday in a key duel.
