Despite his 40 years and some injuries he has suffered, Esteban Paredes remains the starting striker and undisputed scorer of Colo Colo. The team already has a clear dependence on him, where if he does not score, practically no one else does and since he returned to football he has had three goals.
Unfortunately, the captain will be absent due to injury from the match against Athletico Paranaense for the Copa Libertadores, so the debate is who should be his replacement: Javier Parraguez or Nicolás Blandi.
In the consideration of Gualberto Jara, the Buffalo has the advantage and adds bonuses to be a starter against the Brazilians, leaving behind the one who was the great name that the Cacique bet on this year in the transfer market.
And it is that the former San Lorenzo still does not respond to the goalscorer poster with which he arrived in Chile and has only two conquests. Even in the last game against Peñarol he didn’t even see minutes and when Paredes came out, the one who entered was Parraguez himself.
But he found a powerful backing from one of the chief historical idols Marcelo Barticciotto, who in his ESPN Radio showcase pointed out that “Blandi should start playing, he should replace Esteban Paredes”.
Blandi has not yet deployed his scoring ability in the Cacique.
“He is a player who, beyond the criticism he has had, who has not played and perhaps with good reason because in reality he has not performed, but he is a player of hierarchy who at some point has to perform”, said the former attacker.
For the 7th of the People, the Argentine battering ram “He has to play too, they have to give him confidence. I put myself in his place and he must be destroyed, because he is being replaced by a player who was not even in the comics “.
At the moment everything seems to indicate that Blandi was far behind in the considerations for Gualberto Jara. Although he had some physical discomfort, he is in a position to add, but finally the chosen one would be Parraguez.
