2022 is coming to an end and the start of the 2023 National Championship is getting closer and, with that, a new Superclásico on the way that must be won. However, on the other side, once again, they promised to cut the streak.
The ANFP has already delivered the fixture for the 2023 National Championship. Colo Colo will open fire against Deportes Copiapó as a visitor and hopes to start his title defense in a good way. Thus, one of the most anticipated commitments, as always, is the match against Universidad de Chile which, in the first round, is scheduled for the weekend of March 12.
This comparison will take place at the Monumental Stadium and there is full confidence in Los Albos to maintain the supremacy that dates back to 2001., date on which was the last time that the blues were victorious in Macul. However, in the secular group, once again, they promised to cut this streak and beat the Cacique.
Reinforcement of the U promises to beat Colo Colo
It already seems a tradition that all the reinforcements that arrive at the university store refer to the match against Colo Colo. And the result is the same: They promise to be victorious against the cast of Macul and, on the day in question, they leave with long faces at the Monumental, Rancagua, Talca or wherever.
This year was not the exeption. Leandro Fernández, reinforcement of the University of Chile, spoke with DirecTV Sports and referred to this rivalry between the greatest in our country. Thus, in the first instance, he stated that his objective was to “focus on fresh air, on the squad that is being formed. Have a good campaign, bring a drink and win the classic against Colo Colo”.
But the striker, a former Independiente, did not know anything about the negative record that his team has against the Albos. So he confessed that He found out “here in Chile about the number of years that the University of Chile has failed to beat Colo Colo. But this year that is going to change, I like challenges and this is one more in my career.”
It should be remembered that the last time Colo Colo was defeated by Universidad de Chile, it was on May 5, 2013, when the Blues won 3-2 at the National Stadium. At home, the Eternal Champion has not known how to lose since September 9, 2001, also by 3-2. In total, the record between whites and blues widely favors the Cacique with 89 games won, 55 draws and 48 wins against the rival.
