The Cacique forward anticipated what will be the next match against Universidad Católica for the National Championship.
Colo Colo beat Santiago City 2-0 for Copa Chile thanks to the annotations of Carlos Palacios and Marcos Bolados. The match was marked by an eleven totally different from what the Cacique had been exhibiting. Juveniles and those players who had not been acting normally formed an unprecedented starting team.
After carrying out the task, Leandro Benegas spoke with the media in the mixed zone of the Monumental Stadium and had words for the rival on duty: “A worthy opponent. A rival that we had to play for the key and thank God we did well, we were victorious and went to the next phase. The characteristic of the rival is a team that gave itself completely and came to play as equals. It’s a good team”.
Regarding the participation of those players who had not been playing regularly, Benegas expressed: “Today it was shown that the boys who had not been playing did very well. A team was seen with the idea that Gustavo wants. It is normal for the intensity to drop a bit because the other day we had a trip, this team was raised in a day or so, and the truth is that they have done very well. You see how they train and it makes me very happy that they are at the level of the club”.
classic in sight
The next meeting for Colo Colo will not be one more. Next Saturday, April 15, the Albos will visit the Catholic University at the Santa Laura stadium and about what this type of meeting means, Leandro explained: “I know that beautiful games are coming, that we all want to play. It’s always beautiful. That’s what we’re here for and that’s why people come to these clubs. If you don’t feel like playing these matches, you don’t have to come to clubs like this. Happy, preparing myself 100% to try to give my best”.
Without a doubt, the classic against Universidad Católica will be of the utmost importance for those led by Gustavo Quinteros since they will visit the current leader of the National Championship and when asked by the current competition for a position in the team’s attack, Benegas commented: “That question is for the coach, he decides who plays. When you are in a club this big, there is always the dispute for the position. It’s normal for these situations to happen.”.
In this way, Colo Colo leaves behind an intense week of competition and travel and from day to Tuesday will begin to work on a meeting that every year that passes, becomes one of the most important matches of Chilean soccer.
