Just three days before the 190th edition of the Chilean soccer Superclassic between Colo Colo and the U, an interesting debate has been installed in the world of national football: Is the meeting between white and blue really a classic?
There are several who have said that this “label” of Superclásico has been lost in recent years, especially due to the immense difference in triumphs that the Cacique has over the laity and the track record of both institutions.
One who asked for a little more respect around the most important game in national football was Rodrigo Herrera, who in his capacity as RedGol commentator in La Clave I affirm that “I’m going to make my opinion clear, of course it’s classic. What is the classic born from? From the rivalry that is generated in the second part of the 20th century, with highly contested matches, a balance that in the first part of this history leaned in favor of the U, which from the 70s began to match Colo Colo ” .
“Today the discussion is generated regarding the difference that the white square has made in the results, because it is clear that this is an uneven classic, it is clear that the advantage of Colo Colo is too wide, that it is very difficult to find a difference thus between Boca and River, between Barcelona and Real Madrid, between America and Guadalajara, but It has not lost the essence of the rivalry they have and that we have been waiting all week for what happens on Sunday, the spark that awakens among the fans ”, added.
In that sense, the journalist concluded that “when we talk about a major classic, a Superclassic, that is marked more than by the moments of the teams, by their popularity, and here There is also not much discussion in which the U and Colo Colo are the two most popular teams in Chile, therefore, the rivalry exists, and it is alive, there is a tremendous challenge that the U has to overcome the statistics, but it is still the match greatest of Chilean soccer ”.
Colo Colo and Universidad de Chile will face each other under the arbitration of Roberto Tobar this Sunday, September 26 in El Teniente de Rancagua starting at 4:30 p.m. and you can follow him LIVE and MINUTE BY MINUTE by DaleAlbo.
