Chile hope for turnaround

Kolkata: Chile may be down and virtually out, having leaked seven goals from two matches but chief coach Hernan Caputto is still hopeful of a turnaround in the Fifa U-17 World Cup. Three days after being routed by England, Chile handed Iraq their first victory of the tournament succumbing to a 0-3 loss to be virtually eliminated from the competition. The former Argentine goalkeeper however was confident of an arithmetical turnaround of the team to make the last-16. “There has been historical cases when a team wins big and advance after two losses. We would like to keep going further,” Caputto said on Tuesday. He further refused to blame the players and accepted full responsibility for the heavy losses. “Conceding seven goals in two matches is a really a hard and difficult moment for us. They (players) don’t understand what’s happening at this point as both matches were well lost.”
