“I was there in the gallery sitting and the truth is that there was a lot of tension and nervousness in the dressing room, during the week. Quinteros arrived at a difficult time, he had a very good second round with Colo Colo, the team’s first round was not good and that meant that he had to play the game for not being relegated ”, the Wizard made known about it.
But it was not the only thing, because he also considered that “The truth is that you enjoyed that minute, that moment, the situation and what you were experiencing more than a title, there was much more emotion, more players crying, excited players, words of great emotion, different from when you are a champion. All the games were suffering”.
It was in this same line when the creative flyer contemplated that “When you are a champion you explode with joy, satisfaction, happiness, etc. At that minute there were players crying, it was a sad and hard moment for Colo Colo, but in the end it ended with a taste of joy “.
