The bitterest day of Quinteros in Macul

Gustavo Quinteros suffered without rest for 90 minutes at the Monumental. The Colo Colo technician was desperate, as if only yesterday he had become really aware of the serious problem he got into. Helpless, he raised his arms, yelled and wailed. His anger reached so much that he even entered the court a couple of meters to claim a hand from referee Tobar. Curiously, the judge only warned him to calm down with signs, because the yellow one was taken by Mouche.

Not wanting anything, the coach left quickly once the game ended, with a new defeat for Cacique, this time 0-2 against Iquique. DT had forgotten that he had to attend the official broadcast on the edge of the court, but he had no choice but to return to the loud call of the CDF production.

The image was tragicomic, because while the Bolivian nationalized Argentine disguised his evident bitterness with an exaggeratedly positive analysis of the deficient game of the albos, a few meters away the entire northern squad was celebrating the victory, all embraced and happy, through a round led by coach Cristián Leiva.

“We played from less to more, we were not focused on the goals, but the team played as we have to start to play, each time better than the rivals. In the game I am satisfied and I go calm, because despite the mistakes, we play better than the rival; but we couldn’t convert. We do not have to worry about the result, but about the game. The result was undeserved. We had two mistakes at the beginning that made everything uphill, ”Quinteros said.

The strategist for now does not think about new signings: “We have to put Mouche, Blandi and Morales well, then think about new players to strengthen. The club hired Falcón to replace Zaldivia. That leaves us calm in that area. What we have to think, beyond the incorporations, is to recover players. There is a very good team that is not there yet ”.

Finally, the trainer criticized the ANFP’s programming. “We had to use players who are not yet ready. We play on Wednesday and now Saturday morning. Sometimes I do not understand that planning that some teams have to fulfill that does not give us the possibility of recovering. Playing two games in less than three days is complicated, but, honestly, I have nothing to say, everyone gave their best ”, he concluded.

At the end of the first half, the stadium sprinklers came on and wet the Iquique players, who were still on the field. The albos had gone to their dressing room.
