Jorge Valdivia was struck by the ratification of Carlos Palacios in the Colo Colo formation for the match with Audax Italiano, where he also defended the footballer that, despite the fact that he has not shown great differences from a sports point of view, it is one of the points highs that the squad has in recent games.
Carlos Palacios is one of the novelties that Colo Colo has in his formation. Taking into account that the expulsions of other players have been “punished” internally, the midfielder aims to be a starter for Cacique for tomorrow’s game when Audax Italiano is visited at the Monumental Stadium.
A point to be considered by Gustavo Quinteros, who would once again give him the confidence behind the wheel for this commitment, in addition to improving his level in recent games. This was how Jorge Valdivia himself considered it in the Los Tenores sports program on Radio ADN, where he came out to defend the midfielder.
“The ratification of Palacios catches my attention, it may be that, but it’s okay. You have to give him minutes, games, competition… You have to make him play. Without a doubt, it is a reinforcement that everyone, especially Quinteros, expected a lot from him at the beginning. He did not have a good start to the season, a good year, he was injured for a couple of weeks and now part of Quinteros’s decision to relegate Gil to the substitute bench, he gave him that opportunity.
But that was not all, because, in addition, he considered that “although it has not marked so many differences from the football point of view, I think it has been one of the high points that Colo Colo has had in recent games. I liked his responsibility, personality and decision when it came to kicking the penalty at a time when he hadn’t been playing”.
The ex-soccer player even pointed out that “many of them would not have done it and he did, that stood out to him a lot. I also had the opportunity to see his match with Monagas from the field itself and I think his sense of location made me think that he is a player who can make a difference if it has more continuity ”.
Carlos Palacios improves his level
The midfielder returned to Chilean soccer in search of continuity after his time at Internacional de Porto Alegre and Vasco da Gama, both Brazilian clubs. Carlos Palacios records twelve games with the Colo Colo jersey between the National Championship (9), the Chile Cup (1) and the Copa Libertadores (2), totaling 683 minutes on the field and where he contemplates three annotations.
Unfortunately, the footballer will not be able to be present in Colo Colo’s next match in the Copa Libertadores, due to the expulsion he saw in the defeat against Boca Juniors and will have to stay in Chile for when the Cacique has to face Monagas as a visitor in Venezuela.
