On Sunday at noon, O’Higgins de Rancagua will face Huachipato, closing the 23rd date of the National Tournament.
The Celestes, in Talcahuano, need a victory to get away from the bottom positions again, considering the results that have been given in the day.
In this regard, coach Victor Fuentes said that “we have not worried about how we are going to play, so we have to counteract the power that their players have.”
Regarding the team’s condition for this match, Fuentes said that “it is fine, focused on what it is doing and clear about what needs to be done” and “I think we have to aim for that, what was done against Iquique.”
Looking at the rival, who has been playing several matches in a few days due to his participation in the Copa Chile, he argued that “there we are even, the two formations with which he played in Punta Arenas and Nueva Imperial were the projection, I know them.”
He also said that “we are clear that we have to add points,” and to do so he will choose the best contingent. For this match, he will lose Brian Torrealba who suffered a physical complication that will prevent him from being at the CAP. The defender will be joined by the absence of Esteban Moreira, Martín Sarrafiore, Joaquín Montecinos, Simón Contreras and Martín Maturana.
Finally, the table is also a matter of attention and also of play, said the coach. “They are in dire need, in a relegation position, we have to play our game to make them desperate and to make them lose their clarity.”
DIAZ RETURNS
The return of Juan Ignacio Díaz to the rearguard is the novelty for the Rancagua team. The Argentine defender is one of the most consistent players in the squad, and in view of this match, he said that “we look at the table and think we can be much higher up. That gives us more desire, we come from two matches of adding four points, which we haven’t done for a while and I think that gave confidence to the squad. Hopefully this Sunday we can continue adding points.”
