Unthinkable Gareka: He “cut” Brereton from the Chilean national team because he doesn’t speak Spanish!

At the pace of national teams, the football planet is ready to move after the end of the current three days.

Both in Europe and in the rest of the world, all the representative groups of the countries are preparing for the qualifiers, but also for friendly matches for the next two weeks, with the players of the clubs traveling to integrate with their national teams.

Among them and Chile which will face her Albania and France in friendly matches. However, its coach Ricardo Gareca made an admittedly strange decision, after “cutting” from the team Brereton Dias.

The experienced Villarreal midfielder who is on loan at Sheffield Unitedannouncing the mission, was asked by reporters why Dias was not included in it.

The answer surprised everyone, as Gareka claimed that the player he doesn’t speak spanish: “I would like him to learn Spanish. I think it’s important, he’s been called up for two years and he’s had enough time to speak Spanish.” he said at the press conference.

It should be noted that Brereton Dias also has an English passport, since his mother is from Chile, but he himself was born in Stoke, England, having even played for the “Potters” for years.
