Ñublense will take to the Nelson Oyarzún field at 9:30 p.m. today to face Coquimbo Unidos in what will be the premiere of the Chilean National Soccer Championship, which will also be the official debut of coach Mario Salas who plans to return to the team to international cups.
The Chilaneja squad will look for the three points at home, something important for the team that precisely wants to be strong again in its cauldron, something that it could not do last year as it was among the 3 worst teams with home performance.
The “Rojo” will have three casualties for this duel which will be Lorenzo Reyes, Osvaldo Bosso and Sebastián Valencia, which is why the commander is expected to repeat the formation he occupied in the 4 goals to 1 victory against Deportes Temuco at Night Red.
This would be with Nicola Pérez in goal; Bernardo Cerezo, Rafael Caroca, Carlos Labrín, Jovany Campusano in the background; Iván Rozas, Gabriel Graciani, Byron Oyarzo and Alex Valdés in the middle and finally Ismael Sosa and Patricio Rubio up front.
A scheme that will work with Oyarzo and Valdes as permanent offensive agents as they demonstrated against the squad from the Araucanía Region, where both also scored apart from Patricio Rubio who registered with a double.
One who will have his official debut with the “Rojo” shirt will be Labrín who anticipated the duel with Fernando Díaz’s squad.
“We are going to face a rival that had a great campaign last year, great players left, but the base remains, we want to take advantage of our home field, we feel a lot here and we want to take advantage of it, we have everything in our favor to make a great duel and leave the three points at home, although it will be a difficult match,” declared the central defender who arrived from Audax Italiano along with his great friend Osvaldo Bosso, who will miss this date due to suspension.
“This team has been fighting for the cup for a couple of years and getting to the top, there is already a habit, it is a group that is consolidated, there are pieces that have been maintained over time and that is important and we incorporated players who come in the same spirit “We want to fight at the top, there is a good group and a good coaching staff, all the conditions are in place to have a great tournament,” he added.
