Chilean Cup
Gustavo Quinteros plans to rest several of the players who saw action in Colombia against Deportivo Pereira, so he will send a rather alternative team to debut in Copa Chile.
Colo Colo has his debut in the Copa Chile 2023 just around the corner, a contest where he will face Santiago City of the Third Division A this Sunday, April 9 at 6:30 p.m. at the Monumental Stadium for the round of 16 of the North Central Zone of the tournament.
The albos come to this match after a long and exhausting trip to Colombia, a country where Gustavo Quinteros’s team drew 1-1 against Deportivo Pereira last Wednesday in their debut in Group F of the 2023 Copa Libertadores.
It is for the same reason that the man from Santa Fe has a rather alternative team in mind to start his adventure in the Copa Chile, sending youth players and substitutes without much filming to play against Santiago City as a “visit” at the Monumental.
In today’s training session at the Pedrero venue, players like Fernando de Paul, the Uruguayan Alan Saldivia, Felipe Yáñez and Alexander Oroz grabbed the starting jersey, who will accompany players who, to a lesser extent, have already seen action in this 2023 season.
“/>In this way, the team that gains strength in Colo Colo to face Santiago City will be with Fernando de Paul in the goal; Bruno Gutiérrez, Alan Saldivia and Daniel Gutiérrez in defense; Lucas Soto, Vicente Pizarro and Felipe Yáñez in midfield; Marco Rojas and Carlos Palacios at the start; Darío Lezcano and Alexander Oroz in front.
Santiago City reached these instances of the Copa Chile 2023 after eliminating Aguará in the preliminary phase of the Third Division, winning 11-2 on aggregate.
