Coach Jesse Masi, who led Canada 스포츠중계 to the quarterfinals of the Copa America, expressed his ambition not to be satisfied with this.

Canada, which played the third Group A match of 2024 Copa America at Orlando City Stadium (Inter & Co Stadium) in Florida on the 30th (Korea time), had a 0-0 draw with Chile. Canada advanced to the quarterfinals as the second-ranked team in the group 실시간중계 by accumulating four points with one win, one draw and one loss.

This is Canada's first Copa America event. Originally hosted by the South American Football Confederation, the Copa America was a tournament in which South American countries and some invited countries compete with each other. In 2016, there was a tournament with a North American Confederation of Soccer to mark the 100th anniversary of the Copa America, but Canada was not able to participate because it was lagging behind the U.S., Mexico, Costa Rica, Haiti, Jamaica, and Panama. This shows that Canada was relatively close to a soccer 메이저리그중계 frontier until recently.

Canada advanced to the quarterfinals in its first trip to Copa America. Despite losing 0-2 at the match against Argentina, in its first group league, the team recorded seven shots in the first half alone, showing off its aggressive performance. In the second match with Peru, the team garnered a 1-0 win thanks to Jonathan David's finishing goal, and in the third match with Chile, the team achieved the desired result of acquiring 0-0 points. Considering that Peru and Chile are performing as poorly as before, advancing to the quarterfinals is an achievement that cannot be ignored.

Despite this, Masi was not satisfied. "We are not satisfied. The players want to keep going. I know it will be a difficult match no matter who the next opponent is. But the players believe in themselves. I am excited about the next challenge," he told a news conference after the third group match against Chile.

"I challenge players to grow and improve, to become more skilled professionals, and to become more mature players," Masi continued. "From the first training session, I was astonishingly impressed by the players. I enjoy coaching Canada. I am proud of this achievement, but I will not be satisfied with it," he said. "As Canada is developing into a team, we can look to a higher level."

Mashi was nominated as the top priority candidate for the Korean national team in May this year, but failed to narrow differences during the negotiation process, and ultimately chose the Canadian team. As a Canadian coach, he played five matches so far, with one win, two draws and two losses. The strong forward pressure or rapid attack development that Mashi is pursuing has not been perfect, and he has a task to solve the decisive problem of scoring only one goal in five matches.
