Colo Colo continues without raising his head, because this Tuesday he was eliminated from any option to continue in international competitions, after falling to Jorge Wilstermann at the Monumental Stadium.
For the same, Leonel Herrera Silva, former attacker and champion with the Cacique in the 1991 Copa Libertadores, spoke with Sports in Agriculture about this complex moment and took its toll on everyone involved.
“Without being in the internship, in the day to day, Colo Colo has long-standing problems and this last year the differences in the group have widened. This was made very clear by Esteban Paredes in the last statements he has made, ”he started commenting.
“There are managerial decisions that have been regrettable, the team has a significant wear. Indeed, you do not see hierarchy players today and those who were at one time, due to a logical thing of the years and the wear curve, are no longer demonstrating it. You see a flat team, without idea, without surprise, without imbalance, because many opportunities, perhaps at the group level, cannot work well, but you have players who make a difference for you and who at certain moments of the game can generate something for you. And that is not happening in Colo Colo”, He added.
“Today one looks and there are no referents on the campus that are trained at home. In fact, Esteban Paredes is the greatest reference, but he came to the club formed from elsewhere. There is no one who marks that respect, that difference”, He complemented.

“It caught my attention that Gualberto Jara at the head of the team, who was a guy who could indeed have the necessary knowledge of the players who come from below and with whom he worked for a long time, did not begin to train or generate leaders and, at the same time, I would have given them minutes in the first team. He opted for something totally different, left no mark and continued with the same players who came, knowing that he would be in command of the squad for a while. He had the great possibility of leaving boys well installed in the first team and that they could be a real contribution and he did not make it“, He said.
On the same basis of the lack of players trained at home, he stated that “a goalkeeper, a libero and a hitch are players who must go looking, but the rest of the posts should come from the lower ranks and that doesn’t happen ”.
Elimination of the Copa Libertadores
But that was not all, because regarding the team’s performance this Tuesday he pointed out that “there are players who have had a poor performance. What of Leonardo Valencia yesterday was almost embarrassing. You analyze individual returns and they are extremely low (…) I see Paredes and I feel that he no longer enjoys the games, he suffers them. And that happens for a managerial issue ”.
“Clearly there are shared responsibilities and one of them belongs to Marcelo Espina. There are positions that should be filled in two years and that has not been done. Clearly the campus is divided and groups have formed. That can not be. (Juan Manuel) Insaurralde cannot be captain of Colo Colo and he was in a couple of games”, He mentioned.
Finally, it ruled that “Perhaps it is better that we have been left out of the Copa Libertadores, because with a victory perhaps things that are being done very badly would be covered”.
