Colo Colo continues to prepare for its first official match of the season, where it will face Magallanes for the Super Cup. The goal is to win a new trophy against a traditional rival and thus having a good mental boost to face the first date of the 2023 National Championship.

Thinking about this match, the albos had two friendly trials against Racing and Huracán in Argentina. Although he fell in both presentations, Gustavo Quinteros used these duels to test formulas for Sunday and for their managers to loosen up after the demanding exercises they were subjected to in the preseason.

The big doubt in 11

The formations that the strategist stopped in front of the Argentine teams shed light on what he intends to align against the caraveleros in Viña del Mar. However, the big question is knowing who will own the right back.

While he is still waiting for the signing of Matías Catalán, Quinteros has the youth players available Jeyson Rojas and Bruno Gutierrez to fill the void left by the departure of Óscar Opazo.

Although it seemed that the first was the one who took the lead to keep the position, it is Gutiérrez who begins to add more bonuses to be a starter. In fact, he started with the star team in the last game with Huracán, sharing the rear with Ramiro González, Maximiliano Falcón and Erick Wiemberg.

In any case, both promise an arduous fight. These are two players with similar characteristics, with a good stature for the position and speed in their deployments, so now the big dilemma will be choosing between one of them.

The doubt will dissipate in training, but the competition has two trained at home as protagonists and in which Gustavo Quinteros has the last word. In this dispute, both Jeyson Rojas and Bruno Gutiérrez are aware that They are players called to make the leap in quality this season.

While the 11 that appears for the Super Cup is with Brian Cortes in goal: Jeyson Rojas or Bruno Gutiérrez, Ramiro González, Maximiliano Falcón and Erick Wiemberg in defence; Cesar Fuentes, Esteban Pavez and Leonardo Gil in midfield; Marco Rojas, Marcos Bolados and Agustin Bouzat in the attack.
