Chile’s Charles Aranguiz defends foreigners in national team
Santiago: Chilean footballer Charles Aranguiz said naturalised foreigners are welcome in the national team, as long as they help bolster the line-up.
Asked about the controversial practice in the lead up to Chile’s hosting of the 2015 Copa America, Aranguiz said, “I have no problem with the inclusion of nationalised players. It’s an option and if they are going to contribute, then welcome.”
“But I also think that in Chile we have tremendous players that could be in the national team,” Aranguiz, who plays for Brazilian club Porto Alegre, was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
Players have been increasingly asked by sports reporters to comment on the practice, as national team managers mull recruiting Argentine-born forward Mauro Zarate, and many have spoken out against it, including Gary Medel, who plays for Milan, Italy’s Inter, and Eduardo Vargas, currently playing for England’s Queens Park Rangers.
Zarate, who plays for English club West Ham, is waiting to hear from Chile’s national team coach and fellow Argentine Jorge Sampaoli.
Those agreeing with Aranguiz include former Chilean ex-footballer .

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
