Chilean football is not actually real at this point. it’s been so poorly handled since we won those Copa Americas that I don’t really see any bright future for us.
I’m not Chilean, (i’m Brazilian) but the decline in the quality of Chilean football over the last decade is terrifying. Even in the Libertadores, it’s very noticeable.
In the past, playing against Colo Colo, Universidad Catolica and Universidad de Chile was hell. I remember Atlético Mineiro losing to Colo Colo in 2015 in the Libertadores. Today? Well…
Today the Chilean league is certainly behind Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and even Paraguay. (I haven’t mentioned Uruguay because it’s unfair. It’s a country with 3.5 million habitants, and the fact that they’re a football powerhouse is fascinating)… And we’re talking about the league of one of South America’s most developed countries.
And we look at the new generation of Chilean football, and there’s not much prospect of improvement in the short term. If we compare it with Ecuador, for example, they’re producing youngster after youngster with good potential.
In the case of Ecuadorian football, all it took was for one team to focus on developing youngsters (Del Valle), and that boosted the whole ecosystem in the country. I remember starting to hear about Del Valle in 2014/2015 as a project to develop young talent… Today, if you look at their infrastructure, it’s better than even some big Brazilian clubs that have budgets, I don’t know, 10x bigger.
Its not really a decline more so back to the norm tbh. They never had any real star players, had never even won a Copa America, and would rarley make it to a world cup before 2010 when the golden generation started peering through.
I remember when my dad told me about how U.Catolica made some great campaigns in the Libertadores/Sudamerica, I even watched the quarter finals against Palmeiras (in which we deserved more tbh…). funnily enough that was the last time a Chilean team made it to the quarter finals of the Libertadores.
nowadays it’s painful to even see these teams play in the local league. it’s all so shit and badly managed in a lot of aspects. clubs doing shady deals with agents, the tournament stopping for months, lack of professionalism on so many things the clubs do. not to mention academy players are treated like shit here, kids debuting professionally when they’re 21/22 y.o. how the fuck are we supposed to compete when we don’t give them time to get experience from early on?
Católica, who used to have a lot of promising academy players making it to the national team and Europe, is wasting so many players to make way for old, washed dudes. it’s infuriating seeing how clubs on Brazil, Ecuador, Uruguay and Argentina are coming up with so many great young players and doing a relatively good with incorporating them into their main teams.
I just think they’re in a generational change and they’ll have a few down years before getting really good once again. Sanchez, Vidal, Medel, Bravo, Jara, Isla, they’ve all gotten old and haven’t been properly replaced. Except for Brazil and Argentina who are always good, South American national sides tend to go in cycles.
Chilean national team is an actual shower of shit.
