Although the albos have presented four footballers, none were a priority for the coach, who has also regretted the departures of several starters.
After some problems with his flight, Colo Colo is already in Argentina, where he will carry out his demanding pre-season in Los Cardales, a town located about 60 kilometers from Buenos Aires and where they will remain until February 14. During his stay on the other side of the mountain range, El Popular intends to play some international friendlies.
However, there is something that worries Gustavo Quinteros and it is not having closed the campus for this date. Although the Chieftain’s season ended in November, the leadership did not take advantage of the time to add to all the reinforcements requested by their DT despite having more resources than in previous years.
the priorities are not
Although the albos presented four additions, none was the priority of the strategist, who since the end of the 2022 National Championship insisted that what he needed most was to strengthen the team with a winger and a center forward.
Despite the fact that weeks ago names like Bruno Barticciotto, Carlos Palacios, Sebastián Palacios or Carlos Auzqui, none arrived. They have not been able to close Leandro Benegas either, who has everything agreed to arrive at the Monumental Stadium, but he has not yet unlocked his departure from Independiente.
In addition, after the departure of Óscar Opazo, it also became urgent to find a new right-back, where the target is Matías Catalán, but with which they have not been able to bring positions closer because Talleres de Córdoba does not intend to release it.
To all of the above we must add that the Cacique also lost Gabriel Suazo, Gabriel Costa and in the last hours the case of Juan Martín Lucero broke out, who announced that he is not still in the club to go to Fortaleza. That is to say, there are four headlines that Gustavo Quinteros loses.
A completely opposite scenario to that experienced by Colo Colo just a year ago, when Before starting the preseason, he had his campus closed with all his reinforcements and renovations tied up.. These points facilitated the preparation of the team that managed to be national champion with a comfortable difference.
