The 1-1 tie between Universidad de Chile and Colo Colo in the Superclásico left Esteban Paredes as the great figure. The captain and legend of the cacique scored again, but it was not just any goal, but the 16th in this kind of match.
With that record, the former visogol reached the record of Carlos Campos and positioned himself as the top scorer in duels between the two casts, which seemed impossible at 40 years of age.
Gualberto Jara spoke to the media after the game and took the opportunity to praise Paredes, whom he defended from criticism. “Many questioned his ownership and there he is, with his performance and goals he responds to all“, he began explaining.

“We know his contribution, his worth within the team and we have no doubts with him. Starting the game or the minutes that he is on the court will always contribute his own, especially with his ancestry with his partner. I am very happy with him and grateful that at his age he is still so important“added the strategist.
CONCERNED ABOUT DISTRACTIONS
Although they saved a point, Jara was not satisfied with what his players did. In fact, he stressed that mistakes are the ones that are costing them dearly. “They tied us after a series of rebounds and that changed the course of the game. It was difficult for us to catch the game again after the draw and finally both teams began to lose precision in the game, lower their physical performance and finally we ended up in the draw“.
“On the date after 47 ‘they make us a tie and normally that cannot happen to us. There is a sum of several factors, such as physical appearance that prevents us from maintaining a better level for longer. There is also it in football, because of distractions they make us goals and those things we have to improve them. We are starting“, he added.
Talking about Gonzalo Espinoza’s goal, which meant the tie, Jara assured that “It is a situation in which we try to take the smallest details and distractions often occur, especially in the rebounds and second plays, more in these circumstances. Staying focused is very important in these games, any second ball can define a game“.
The white coach also emphasized that they no longer have a margin of error in the fight to get out of the bottom. “The sum point, we have to add, shorten the distance and we manage to add in a classic match, from that point of view it does not work, the idea is to win and followed“.

Finally, Jara announced that for Wednesday against O’Higgins there may be movements in the scheme. “Perhaps it is time to make rotations in the team to cope this week with many games and we will try to choose the best to improve performance and above all win, which is what we are going to go out to do“.
