Pinto respects Qualifiers rival Chile

Colombia coach Jorge Luis Pinto said they respect Chile, their next opponent in round 8 at the South American Qualifiers.
"We are aware we must face Chile with respect and sacrifice; undoubtedly, they are a brilliant team," Colombia coach Jorge Luis Pinto commented through his web site page. In addition, he said that Marcelo Bielsa's last players list aim at knowing the opponent players rather than foreseeing the team they will meet.

According to Pinto, his Argentine colleague will use the same strategy with which they won 3-2 over Bolivia away and 3-2 over Venezuela, in last rounds 5 and 6 at the South American Qualifiers.

Chile will face Brazil in round 7 (locals), while Colombia will meet Uruguay, in Bogota.
