Bolivia is preparing to start its South American qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with two difficult matches against Brazil and Argentina, amid suffering from the absence of friendly matches due to the Corona virus epidemic.
The “Green” team also reaches the qualifiers without having local matches due to the suspension of the Bolivian League due to Covid-19, knowing that it is the main supporter of the team with the players.
And the former defender and television analyst, Juan Carlos Bath, considers that there is great concern given that there is no football competition in Bolivia, so it is difficult to predict what the national team will present against the two giants of the continent, on the 9 and 13 of this month.
Bath hopes that the coach of the Venezuelan national team, Cesar Farias, has taken advantage of this period, which lasted for about two months, to work with the “green” players to reach “their highest levels.”
The former player who participated in the World Cups 1998 in France, 2002 in Korea, Japan and 2006 in Germany believes that the suspension of football activity due to the Corona epidemic could benefit Farias tactically and artistically, although he repeated that the biggest concern is “lack of competition.”
The former international hopes that Bolivia will draw a draw against Brazil, outside its home country, and try to win three points against Argentina, taking advantage of the match at the Hernando Siles Stadium in La Paz, which is 3600 meters from the surface of the earth.
