The defeat that Ñublense suffered at the hands of Audax Italiano 5-2 in Chillán, not only left the “red devils” compromised in the standings, but also hurt the pride of Jaime García’s leaders, who hope to wash his wounds before Palestino to start the takeoff.
“All the teammates are hurt by that defeat, but they are committed to moving this forward, which is our responsibility. We can no longer continue making the mistakes we have made, it seems that all the bad things have come together, now a great rival is coming, Palestino, but we will go out with everything to look for the result”, commented captain Jovany Campusano.
The cast of Chillán will regret two sensitive casualties due to injury. You will not be able to count on Bernardo Cerezo and Lorenzo Reyes at the Cisterna municipal stadium.
They would be replaced by Raimundo Rebolledo and Rodrigo Cisterna, respectively, although Jaime García has already announced that there could be news.
“We know that they are not playing well, beyond having a limited squad. I will have to make football decisions to form the best team, we know where we are failing, I know what we can do to improve, the squad is committed and we know that we can move this forward”, reinforced the DT, Jaime García, who ruled out “abandoning ship”. and revealed that the leadership is “aware of the need to reinforce the campus” for the second semester.
Ñublense is twelfth in the table with 11 points, while Palestino is in tenth place with 15 points. It comes from losing to Colo Colo, but from beating students from Mérida for the South American.
On the last two occasions that Red visited the Cistern, he added positive results. Last year they equaled 1-1 and in 2021 they won 4-1. This Saturday, more than ever, he needs to add to lower the pressure
