There is no time to continue lamenting.
The premise is applied by coach Jaime García, every time his team stumbles and must get up.
The 2-0 defeat against Huachipato in Talcahuano exposed defensive incoordination and a lack of creative power that once again set off alarm bells.
However, after self-criticism, the “red devils” coach is confident that his team will raise its head against Universidad de Chile, a rival they will face this Saturday at 3:00 p.m., at the Nelson Oyarzún stadium in Chillán.
“You know the team. We lost, due to various factors, such as in the physical field, but now we have to have a good week to arrive as well as possible against the ‘U’. I trust my players a lot, because when I’ve needed them the most, they’re always there, so the Huachipato game was a one-off game, in which we didn’t play well and they made us look bad”, reflected Jaime García.
Facing the duel with the blues, the coach from Cartagena recovers the Argentine defender, Nicolás Zalazar, who fulfilled his punishment date against the steelers and will be able to affirm the red defense against the blues.
Indiscipline?
The big question is whether midfielders Pablo Aránguiz and Manuel Rivera, who were not called up by García in the last two games, will return to the summons. Although the coach settled the issue by noting that “it was a technical decision”, this would have been triggered by an “indiscipline” of both elements who accepted the imposed punishment.
“It is a temporary decision and I will see when they return to the summons,” García closed, without giving any further insight into the reason for the consecutive exclusion of the two “red devils.”
With fans of the U?
At the close of this edition, Estadio Seguro, Carabineros, the Presidential Delegation of Ñuble and Ñublense, were analyzing the option of allowing or not the access of fans of the “U” for the duel on Saturday. This, considering the latest incidents that occurred at the Ester Roa Rebolledo stadium, within the framework of the university classic against UC, and which meant a harsh punishment for the Blues, who will play four home dates without an audience.
