Colo Colo drew against Unión Española at the Santa Laura Stadium and could not put pressure on the tournament leaders. In a lackluster match, Agustín Bouzat once again took over the position of left back after the departure of Daniel Gutiérrez.
Colo Colo was unable to play a great game on the Santa Laura field and only drew one goal against Unión Española in a match valid for date 14 of the 2023 National Championship. Los Albos were prey to inaccuracies in offense and they could not find ideas to make the goal defended by Sebastián Pérez pass danger.
Due to the above, Gustavo Quinteros sought by various means a way to unbalance the balance. Thus, midway through the second half, he brought in Marco Rojas to replace Daniel Gutiérrez, modification that meant that Agustín Bouzat occupied the position of left back.
The polyfunctionality of Agustín Bouzat
After the engagement is over, Chiqui spoke with the microphones of TNT Sports and, along with analyzing the match, He addressed his role in the albo team and his already characteristic polyfunctionality. It is that the former Vélez Sarsfield has been used as a winger, cutting midfielder, creation, striker on both sides and, a few dates ago, as winger for the left-handed sector.
In this regard, the trans-Andean stated that “that’s something I like. I like being able to be functional in different positions. I like it because that allows us to be able to change the scheme and modify it. Having that polyfunctionality is good for the team and the coach. I feel confident and also thank the team for giving me that scaffolding. We have to continue on this path.”
Furthermore, he noted that “we have improved a lot. We found a solid defensive and offensive. Obviously there are many aspects to improve. We have had the bad luck that we have injuries and expulsions where we cannot have the full team. But hey, we’re on the right track.”
Analysis of the match against Unión Española
The faces of the Popular fans were not very happy when the end of the fight was whistled. However, Bouzat prefers to see the glass half full; he highlighted the first minutes of the team and valued the fact of scoring a point in difficult terrain.
“We had a very good first half. We put ourselves in the advantage that this is always important and I think we had 15 or 20 minutes where we stayed a bit. They came out with a little more intensity with which they found the tie, but after we had possession on the field, we lacked depth, but hey. Obviously we came for the three points, but adding is important”, he pointed out.
Finally, he made it clear that “it is important to always be adding. It’s good to be there in the top positions. We are missing one more date and then the entire second part. I think we are going to make candidates.”
