This Tuesday the Copa Libertadores returns after the break due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and Colo Colo, in the midst of a strong soccer crisis at the local level, receives this Tuesday Peñarol at the Monumental Stadium starting at 19:15 hours (22:15 GMT), in a key duel to calm the spirits and move away from the last place in the Group C.
The Albos have three points, as do Jorge Wilsterman, Atletico Paranaense and Peñarol himself, but they are only at the bottom because of goal difference. With a win, he ensures himself to be in the top two places, depending on what Bolivians and Brazilians will do in the other match that will be played at the same time in Cochabamba.
The task, however, is complex. Although Colo Colo managed to beat Paranaense on the previous date of the Cup, that was in March and those good feelings vanished with the health crisis. In the extra football, the squad suffered a break with the leadership of Black and White for salaries; and on the field, the “Cacique” has not known of triumphs since the return of Chilean football. He fell to Santiago Wanderers and O’Higgins, and matched with Universidad de Chile in the Superclásico and against Unión La Calera last Saturday.
The results have Gualberto Jara on the tightrope, an interim coach who was ratified by Blanco y Negro until December and who so far has generated internal doubts on the campus. Its continuity also goes through what the team exhibits against the Charrúa this Tuesday.
For the duel, Jara will present two important changes, with the returns to ownership of Esteban Paredes and Brayan Cortés.
The captain of the albos, historic scorer of Chilean soccer, had action for the last time on September 6 when scored in the Superclásico. After that game, it was reserved as a precaution and missed the poor performance against O’Higgins and the draw with La Calera on the synthetic grass of the “Nicolás Chahuán” Stadium.
Cortés, meanwhile, was highly criticized for his responsibility in equality with the blues, and also did not play those games with O’Higgins and La Calera, being replaced by Miguel Pinto. His return to Peñarol is a vote of confidence on the part of the coach.
The training will be with Cuts; Felipe Campos, Julio Barroso, Juan Manuel Insaurralde, Oscar Opazo; Carlos Carmona, César Fuentes, Gabriel Suazo; Marcos Bolados, Esteban Paredes and Pablo Mouche.
Peñarol, meanwhile, has also suffered its own crisis. Irregular results cost coach Diego Forlán his job on August 31 and Mario Saralegui came to replace him. In their last two games they were goalless draws (River Plate and Montevideo City and they are seventh in the Uruguayan league.
According to the local press, the possible formation of the aurinegro will be with Kevin Dawson; Giovanni González, Fabricio Formiliano, Rodrigo Abascal, Jesús Trindade; Joaquín Piquerez, Xisco Jiménez, Facundo Pellistri, Cristián Rodríguez; David Terans and Facundo Torres.
The person in charge of administering justice at the Monumental stadium will be the Argentine referee Mauro Vigliano.
