Juan Manuel Vargas: 'Alexis Sanchez, Eduardo Vargas aren't anything special'

Peru's Juan Manuel Vargas says that Chile's Alexis Sanchez and Eduardo Vargas 'aren't anything special' ahead of the two teams' semi-final clash on Monday evening.

Peru's Juan Manuel Vargas has said that Chile's strike force of Eduardo Vargas and Alexis Sanchez 'aren't anything special' as the two nations meet in the semi-finals of the Copa America.

La Blanquirroja set up the last-four meeting with the hosts of the tournament after beating Bolivia 3-1 on Thursday evening.

However, Peru's Vargas is unfazed by the Chilean's Premier League strike partnership, who have scored 11 goals in the tournament's four games so far.

"Against them we have to play our own game. I've already played against Alexis and Vargas and they are not anything special," the Fiorentina man told reporters.

"We still have three days to go, so let's think about ourselves and correct our mistakes.

"I think against Chile it is going to be more or less the same, but we have to be even more concentrated because we cannot give Chile chances as they are playing well and are at home."

The two sides will play out the first of the competition's semi-final ties on Monday evening.
