Colo Colo fell resoundingly against O’Higgins de Rancagua on the second date of the 2023 National Championship. Los Albos could not hold the lead and were surpassed by the local team that needed 45 minutes to score 5 goals.
After the game, the only player who spoke to the press was Maximiliano Falcón, who pointed out that he did not see such a big difference for such a difference. However, in any case, he pointed out what the mistakes had been.
The self-criticism of César Fuentes
During this Wednesday, César Fuentes attended a press conference and, of course, he addressed what happened in El Teniente. In this regard, the flyer ruled that “We all know it was a bad result, but we had several days to do a personal self-criticism and find out what we did wrong”.
“This is football, we have to keep working, today we turned the page, we saw the mistakes as a group and we know what we don’t have to repeat. We only think about improving, there is a rematch and on Monday we hope to show our strong side. We are Colo Colo and we have to go out and win every game”, complement.
To continue, he lent clothing to the defensive line, adding that “it was a bad match for everyone, not just the defenders, we all have to improve individually. Blaming only one part of the team is not our way of thinking.”
In addition, he pointed out that “We have a new team, everyone knows it, but we shouldn’t blame the defensive part. We are a team and we support each other as on a day-to-day basis, we have to put our chests to the bullets all together. We all know that we were wrong, it was not a good result, but we already did the self-criticism, we worked hard on it and we will continue training to get ahead”.
The match against Ñublense
The opportunity to get the bad result is just around the corner. Colo Colo will face Ñublense on Monday and at Popular they hope to defeat Chillán’s team after several attempts.
On that, the Corralero commented that “it is that until today we are working only on ourselves, to improve our shortcomings. We know that it is a tough rival that it has been difficult for us to beat, but it is up to us to do it, in demonstrating the category of the players who arrive at Colo Colo. We are in transition and we must improve yes or yes”.
“I think that with Ñublense or whoever it was we have to go out and win. We left a bad image in the previous game, but we have to position Colo Colo where it has to be, show the image that the teacher emphasizes to us in each training session and we hope to win in a good way”, added the midfielder.
Finally, he referred to the physical ailments of Leonado Gil and Fabián Castillo, making it clear that it is nothing serious, since “Leo I think he should have a few days off, but he’s fine and he should be training with us next week. Castillo does it on par, we know his category and we expect him as soon as possible ”.
