Gustavo Quinteros sets high goals in the Copa Sudamericana

Colo Colo He did not know how to close his great start in the Copa Libertadores 2022 and ended up being eliminated from the tournament after the 4-3 loss to Fortaleza at the Monumental Stadiumhaving only settle for the round of 16 in the South American.

Gustavo Quinteros analyzed what that international option will be for the Cacique, who joining the fight for the local title, it is becoming one of the great objectives of the second half of this season.

“These last two games, especially the second half in Buenos Aires and the start today, we had a poor defensive performance. We did not make backups, we were uncoordinated and we paid dearly, much more with one less. We did not win, we had important players in defense standing for a long time, without training and they arrived very just to the games. Unfortunately, we pay dearly for that, “said the Santa Fe at a press conference.

Along the same lines, the white strategist maintained that “we started this group stage very well, playing well, the team responded excellently, but good. Today it was not like that in the defensive phase and we paid with a defeat. We still have to recover the players and aim for Monday against Ñublense to continue at the top of the tournament. Then, wait for the South American and now we do set goals to go further there. It is an obligation after not qualifying in the Libertadores”.

Regarding the planning and search for reinforcements, Quinteros was clear in saying that “yes, you have to incorporate one or two players. It would be fantastic. With the passing of the season, one realizes that when you compete in some situations, you need a replacement. Now we are going with the National, South American and Copa Chile Championships”.

We need variants of the same level, it would be very good for the squad to incorporate one or two players for this second part of the year, which, hopefully, will be many gamesyes Now in the Cup it happened to us that we had injured or inactive players and we needed more variants to compete at the same level in the three competitions that we have”, he concluded.

For now, the whites must wait to see who will be their rival in the Copa Sudamericana, since they still have to define all those classified in the group stage. The draw will take place this Friday in Paraguay starting at 12:00 Chilean time.
