The former defender and current commentator referred to the qualities of one of the great desires of Gustavo Quinteros to strengthen the defense of Colo Colo.
In Colo Colo, it is urgent to close the signing of Matías Catalán as soon as possible, a player who was requested a long time ago by Gustavo Quinteros and who has him as his first option to fill the void left by Óscar Opazo on the right side.
Although there is total agreement with the Argentine-Chilean defender, his departure from Talleres de Córdoba has not yet been unlocked due to confusing details in his contract. While this is resolved, the player trains outside of the professional squad so as not to lose his condition.
But the need not only points to the absence of that forward marker that the team lost, but also to the complications around Emiliano Amor’s ankle that could put him under the knife again. Quinteros himself expressed his concern about this situation and does not rule out going for a new center-back.
The Catalan solution
Given the need to have more defensive alternatives, it is in Colo Colo they want to seal the arrival of Matías Catalán soon. This is because he can also play as a defender, a multifunctionality that can play an important role and is very popular in the Albos coaching staff.
This is something that was confirmed by Cristián Basaure who visited the Talleres de Córdoba complex and received several references from the footballer. In the RedGol program in La Clave, he was clear in holding where he performs best.
“I asked about him and important people at the club told me that he is one hundred percent central. He plays on the wing, performs, but they don’t see him as a passer. If they call me Jeyson Rojas or Catalán, I don’t think he’s that different, but as a central player he showed his best version in Talleres”, explained the commentator.
But the former defender also referred to the urgencies that exist in the Colocolino background in the prolonged absence of Emiliano Amor. “In defense you need a leader and Amor is the leader of that line. He is organized, time-oriented, has a good start with a pass that breaks lines. Falcón and González have not seen each other wellwith a lot of disorder and lack of coordination”.
In this way, the arrival of the defender can help to solve the Cacique’s defensive problem in a good way. The leadership hopes to have a definitive answer before Wednesday.
