Colo Colo showed a sad presentation in their 2-0 defeat against Athletico Paranaense by Libertadores Cup, a result that exposed all the shortcomings that this team has shown throughout this 2020.
The Cacique was lacking in football, ideas, and what is more worrying, without the attitude to face this type of encounter, where with very little they were practically surpassed by one of the worst teams in Brazilian football.
One who analyzed this worrying present of the Cacique was Claudio Borghi, who in the program Todos Somos Técnicos of the CDF affirmed that “Colo Colo did not play well, he was much lower than what one expected, from the training he drew attention. It is very worrying for Colo Colo, Chilean soccer, that a large team is in these sporting conditions, where the foot cannot be found, there is no way, no style. And I ask: what was the name of the Brazilian goalkeeper? It’s a good question, it didn’t even appear ”.
In that sense, he commented on the sad proposal of the Cacique on Brazilian soil, stating that “You can lose, you lose more than you win sometimes. There are teams that lose 4-3, 2-1, 3-2, but Colo Colo today did not even have goals on goal. If the proposal was to defend, it did not work; if in the second half he was going to attack, either. Apart from the result being bad, there is not this hope from the coaches that ‘we played badly, but that way we will have results.’
“What did Colo Colo propose? What did you want to do? Last week he entered with Peñarol with three in the middle, then with two, after changing sides, there were injuries. With this style we are going to have more problems than joys. And looking at the calendar, your life can be very complicated. He plays with Antofagasta now that he is pure vertigo and then he goes to Uruguay ”, he added.
When looking for those responsible for this low level, the four-time champion with the albos maintained that “I do not agree that the technician is the only culprit, there are moments where the players prevail. There is decision making on the court. I say self-love, give me the ball I’m going to be wrong 25 times but I’ll give a pass. We didn’t find that. Matías and Valencia threw balls and that is not the coach’s fault, it is decision-making ”.

“If you always do the same thing, you can’t expect different things. Colo Colo has players, but no clutter to attack. Now the kids speak of tremendous terms, of reconversion, of lanes, of mixed, doubling, but here there is a decision that the player has to make when having disorder when attacking. Why: what is Bolados going to do in the game? He’s going to grab it, play for the tip, throw it long and see if he can pass. Yes? But when she makes diagonals she makes disasters, and how many diagonals did she make today? How does Opazo, De La Fuente attack, what can Carmona or Fuentes do? Matías Fernández today played regular-short, but he sees pass options and all three are in the same place, it is a perfect pass or it does not work. There are dialogues, it is said not to throw it at one more because they are winning the duel “, he concluded.
“Colo Colo is losing the prestige it has gained”
Carrying out a deeper analysis of this sad present dawn, the Bichi showed concern when seeing the image that is being left for the foreigner: “It’s Colo Colo, this ‘Indian bites from behind’, ‘I’m going to take you over the top’, a team with personality, if you beat me I’m going to make you run, I’m going to impose myself and that’s not happening. Sometimes we fight so much to be in the Copa Libertadores … A genius comes out there and says ‘we have to win the Cup’. What cup are we going to win?
“There is talk ‘if Colo Colo wins, lucas can win in the Libertadores.’ But it turns out that he does not win the lucas, nor the games and he is losing the prestige he has won. With all due respect, but Paranaense is a small team. Look at River who did 11 to Binacional. You have to be careful, because you play with prestige. One stays hot. This is seen in much of the world and they say ‘is this the only champion of America from Chile?’ ”, added the Bichi.

Along these lines, he argued that “Let’s suppose that the players do not agree with the coach who is now. But neither were they with those who passed. And to look for a technician, first they say that Gustavo Quinteros does not want to come, after they have no money, then they go to look for a world champion like Scolari, after that ‘thank goodness he didn’t come because we didn’t have money’, after Gualberto Jara finishes to stay until December … The only country in the world where I saw an intern asked if he is going to resign is in Chile. The interns don’t quit, hue’ón! The interns are changed! ”.
Thinking about the immediate future, the former coach Albo concluded that “Be careful, Colo Colo may have to put the Cup aside, eh. Look that two more were injured, he plays with Antofagasta, then with Huachipato… I don’t know ”.
