Coach Gustavo Quinteros is clear that he has already found the starting team in Colo Colo, but he gives a message to the reinforcements that arrived at the institution of those who hope they can improve their level each time.
Colo Colo knew how to hold the draw against Universidad Católica in a good way with one less man throughout the second half. The albos sought to damage the crossed team anyway, but, finally, they had to settle for distributing points in this new classic of the National Championship.
Quinteros expects improvement in the level of reinforcements
Gustavo Quinteros, once the commitment was finished, spoke with TNT Sports, where he was clear in pointing out that he is calm with the present of Colo Colo because he found the starting team, but he gave a notice to the reinforcements of who he hopes can improve their soccer level.
“For now, yes (he found a starting team). I am hoping that the players who arrived, some of them, reach their best level. They are not yet at their best level, some are injured, touched, with discomfort that does not allow them to prepare well to play. When we are all at 100 we will be even stronger”.
In addition, regarding the match, he considered that the duel was even until the expulsion of Leonardo Gil was generated, the white team generated clear goal opportunities during the first minutes of the match and that, later, with one less man in field, they should have protected a little more.
“Eleven against eleven was even. We had three clear scoring chances, but we couldn’t make them happen. Later, with one less on the field, they reached us more, but with centers and dead balls and without much elaborate play.. We had two counter-attack chances, one from Pizarro and Oroz that we couldn’t achieve, but after the sending off he gave us a lot of chances”.
However, regarding the offensive power shown by the white team, he added that “Yes, offensive also because as I told you in Q1 we had three chances to score. We were solid, we didn’t have any against us and in Q2 we only had one on the post, but they didn’t beat us footballingly, only with crosses and balls into the area”.
One of the points that is considered by the Colocolino DT has to do with the Cacique’s next game, where on Wednesday they will have to face Monagas in the Copa Libertadores and that they will present some casualties for that commitment, due to the wear and tear of this duel in Saint Laura.
“Daniel (Gutiérrez) was injured, I hope Matías de los Santos can be fine to play on Wednesday, so we can replace Daniel. And then Fuentes who always runs a lot. Gil is going to be whole, Pizarro too, Bolados because they left earlier”, were the words that Gustavo Quinteros gave in this regard.
