Carlos Palacios will be in charge of wearing the mythical number 7 shirt in Colo Colo and Marcelo Barticciotto gave him all the confidence for his new challenge.
Carlos Palacios fulfilled his dream and became a new Colo Colo player. La Joya arrived in Argentina, was presented at a press conference and put on the Popular shirt with a number that marked an era for the club. The 7 of the Cacique has weight and history, an issue that does not seem to intimidate the former Spanish Union.
If we talk about 7 in Colo Colo, quickly, we say Esteban Paredes and Marcelo Barticciotto. Precisely, the last one, commented on the arrival of Palacios to the Alba squad and recalled how special it is for him, the number he wore on his back during his time in Macul.
Marcelo Barticciotto and his beloved number 7
in conversation with redgoalBarti confessed that “not only on the shirt, the number itself means a lot. That number touched me because the Pájaro (Hugo) Rubio had left, not because I chose it. It was a number that has always identified me, the numbers of my birth add up to seven too, it’s incredible.”.
In turn, he recalls that “in all the teams I played, other than Colo Colo, I did not play with the 7 but with the 11”, highlighting his time with Huracán in Argentina, América in Mexico and Universidad Católica in Chile.
“So it is a characteristic number, which identifies me and that I will always wear, and not only on the shirt but also on It is the number that has marked my life”, added one of the greatest idols of Colo Colo.
Barticciotto has faith in Carlos Palacios
The player trained in Unión Española, after his explosive appearance in the Hispanic team, left for Brazilian soccer. However, neither in Porto Alegre International nor in Vasco da Gama was he able to repeat his previous performances.
The foregoing is not something that does not worry the 7 del Pueblo too much, since, according to his words, he believes “He can be re-enchanted here, as long as the team is doing well and has a good performance. He is a good player and we are not going to discover that now, hopefully he can relaunch his career for the good of Chilean football, for the good of the national team.”
Finally, regarding the number that he will occupy on his back, the Copa Libertadores champion in 1991 stated that “the number is an anecdotehe got that number and I don’t think he has so much pressure either because it seems to me that he can assume it for a reason that Esteban (Paredes) used it and everything that means, but hopefully it goes well for him. “
