“Respect for these warriors who, despite their age and physical problems, stand up for Chile,” began one of Argentina’s most famous journalists on his social networks.
He also assured that the love for the Chilean flag is enormous because, after winning two Copa Américas, they now continue to fight for the country. “In good times and in bad times,” emphasized Giralt.
