The coach of Colo Colo, Gustavo Quinteros, analyzed the 3-2 loss suffered against Coquimbo Unido for the sixth date of the National Championship pointing out that there were errors that need to be corrected and supporting the young player Daniel Gutierrez.
“They are individual errors in the brand, we trained a lot on defensive and offensive duels, but today in a play, unfortunately Daniel falls, then they pass us easily in the area, similar to the goal that O’Higgins scored against us, who passed the midfielder and defined against the goalkeeper, they also win the duel with the head. These are things that each player in each position has to solve, to be more solid”, he declared.
Regarding Gutiérrez, he deepened that “andIt was very good, perhaps because of what happened in a goal play and another that could have gone wrong, he could have felt affected, But he has to keep working, get well and be available in case he has to play again and not make the same mistakes. He’s a hard-working, smart guy…he’s got a huge future.”
“If he made a mistake at the beginning of a season, it’s not that serious, it would be ugly for him at best, and for everyone, that in a Copa Libertadores match or a game defining the championship he could make a mistake and there he could feel affected, but he has They have to raise their heads, work during the week because maybe it’s their turn to play the next game,” he continued.
Quinteros also referred to the fact that they work with a professional toto “when the boys need that help. He has the support of all the teammates and ours, but we didn’t lose the game because of Daniel Gutiérrez.”
“When you have defensive errors, I am always the one responsible, because I choose the players I put in and work during the week. When there are defensive errors, the error belongs to the team. Nobody has a perfect game, the player who doesn’t make mistakes is the one who doesn’t He does nothing. He went out to the crossroads, he didn’t win, but it’s not his responsibility. What does worry me is that we are at the beginning of the championship where we still can’t repeat the team and for me the teams are formed from behind to forward”, followed.
“We are a big team that we play as a big team, sometimes we go hand in hand and that requires each player to be very solid in duels, win them, be firm and be stronger than the rival,” he said.
Quinteros was also consulted by some criticism from fans who point to an eventual decision not to make the youth players play so much and said that “those fans don’t watch the games”, in addition to regretting the departure of Erick Wiemberg.
On the other hand, he was calm about the work he is doing to form the team and that he needs to “continue working and recover the players that we have outside who are important and continue giving the team a functioning that is capable of violating these very closed defenses, when the teams get behind defend a lot, sometimes it’s hard to generate goal situations, but today we had a lot of aerial play and we couldn’t make it happen”.
