Nacho Quinteros outraged by Colo Colo’s no relegation bonus: “With wearing that shirt there is no more motivation”

One of the feats most remembered by Albos fans is the bankruptcy title that Colo Colo won in 2002 and one of its protagonists, Luis Ignacio Quinteros, hit the current Albo squad hard for the bonus that Aníbal Mosa offered them for not lose the category. In addition, the former striker blamed corporations for the low level of Chilean soccer.

He Nacho Quinteros did the analysis in The Tenors of the Afternoon by radio ADN and he commented that “the corporations have not been beneficial. The games are not showy, there is no competitiveness, at the international level they do not make good campaigns, they do not hire in a good way. You see players and say ‘how do they get to these teams?”

“When I arrived at the Colo Colo squad they were almost pure national team players, the foreigners were hierarchical, in Católica, U, even in Cobreloa. All this has not benefited the competition, the clubs, or the players. The Catholic is the one that has worked the best, “he explained.

But it did not stop there, since Quinteros was surprised by the money offered to the Colo Colo players for not going down to B: “I find it incredible that Colo Colo pays a bonus to save itself from relegation. Colo Colo must fight for the top positions, international tournaments. I listened to Rambo Ramírez who said that players don’t have the sense of belonging that they should have. By wearing that shirt, the winner, the only Libertadores champion, has more motivation than that. “

Finally, the former striker made a comparison between the money he obtained when he was champion in bankruptcy and that offered by Aníbal Mosa, president of Blanco y Negro, to the current squad. “They asked me if I remembered how much we earned for being champions in 2002 in bankruptcy, I don’t remember, but I’m sure it was much less than that bonus. I imagine it is a desperate directive measure, but I do not share it,” he said.
