It hasn't been an easy week for the Chilean National Team. Following their 3-3 draw against Mexico, Arturo Vidal's accident while driving under the influence made the headlines throughout the world, shifting the media's focus from the tournament. Moreover, coach Jorge Sampaoli's decision of keeping the player with the team raised a few eyebrows, but at least from within the team, that call was the right one to make.
Without a doubt, one of Chile's most important players is Alexis Sánchez. Using his influence as one of the team's most relevant footballers, Sánchez revealed that the squad supported the coach's decision of keeping Vidal around. Despite not being the most popular call, Alexis said the team had to be there for Vidal, as the midfielder has been around to back them when they needed him the most. With that in mind, Sánchez believes that with "King" Arturo on the pitch, he will be hungry to redeem himself and score a few more goals in the process.

Chile needs to win some points against Bolivia to finish first in Group A, having the advantage of already knowing Mexico's result against Ecuador. If El Tri wins, La Roja will need a victory to assure their top seed, otherwise, Miguel Herrera's team could claim the first place for themselves.
