Coquimbo Unido is making a tremendous campaign in the 2020 South American Cup. The pirate team beat Junior de Barranquilla 2-1 in Colombia in the first leg quarterfinals and set foot in the semifinals of the continental tournament.
However, his presence in the National Championship is the opposite. With one less game, those of the Fourth Region are penultimate and look closely at the relegation zone to the First B. In conversation with Sports in Agriculture, the pirate coach, Juan José Ribera, explained the opposite reality experienced by the team in both tournaments.
“We have not set aside one tournament over the other. Since we arrived in Coquimbo Unido, we added 50% of the points in the local tournament, but Deportes La Serena, O’Higgins, Palestino had a rise and if you take a team with five points in nine dates, you have to come back a lot and it’s not simple“said El Coto.
Along the same lines, the strategist states that “with 50% it is reaching us to be above Colo Colo. Everything is very tight, we are 11 teams that are fighting for the same thing. It’s going to be very tight until the end. It is not leaving from one moment to the next“.
On this, Ribera had words to analyze the complicated present of the Cacique, ensuring that they can perfectly descend: “It is said that due to the fact that it is Colo Colo it cannot descend and that in a moment it will go back. We know what it costs to get out of the bottom and the pressure of fighting for a title is not related to relegation, it’s more complex to fight in the lower zone.
“Colo Colo has a tremendous squad and senior players, but living with the fact of fighting for relegation to any player complicates it, due to the emotional pressure of not adding. It costs twice as much to get out of the lower zone“, he sentenced.
