Colo Colo must face Everton de Viña del Mar for the fifth date of the National Championship and has practically defined his team. However, the big doubt is in the attack and the coach is torn between Darío Lezcano or Leandro Benegas.
Colo Colo is getting ready to face its next match against Everton de Viña del Mar for the fifth date of the 2023 National Championship. Los Albos seek to continue on the path of victory and repeat the victory achieved against Ñublense so as not to lose ground in the standings.
The coach has had to deal with injuries and, furthermore, with a suspension. Together with the known casualties of Emiliano Amor and Vicente Pizarro, Leonardo Gil still has not managed to recover from lower back discomfort and Jordhy Thompson remains in doubt after the costal blow he suffered. To the above, we must add that Carlos Palacios must comply with the sanction date after seeing the red card at the end of the match against the chillanejos.
The only doubt of Quinteros
Marco Rojas is the one who appears as a starter in the Cacique midfield completed by César Fuentes and Esteban Pavez. So, doubt settles in the center of the attacksince Darío Lezcano is ready to start and adds bonuses for his goal converted in the previous match.
However, Gustavo Quinteros, in a press conference, warned that they work “with the two as owners. Not only does he have to be at 100% to play, but he also has to get used to his teammate, to the extremes, the pressure on the rival team. There are a lot of things to put on a player, not just the physical or football aspects”.
It is that the DT of the Cacique knows that it is not to arrive and take out a starting player, since, “from the beginning I tell you that, to get a performance, we have to play a lot and find the best companies on the field. Not only on the offensive side, but also on the defensive. Press, agree with the partner. If we change a lot, it is difficult to find a fast operation and the pressure is effective. I think we’ve grown on that.”
Lastly, he commented that in “the previous game we pressed very well, the players got along very well to prevent the rival from playing out. If we start changing all the games, it becomes more difficult. But, as we train, we are taking them little by little, each one is training for a while, both are prepared to do well.
Thus, for the match against the rouleteros, Colo Colo would form with Brian Cortes in the bow; Jeyson Rojas, Maximiliano Falcón, Ramiro González and Erick Wiemberg in defence; Cesar Fuentes, Esteban Pavez and Marco Rojas in midfield; Marcos Bolados, Leandro Benegas (Dario Lezcano) and Fabián Castillo.
