A tough match will be held on Saturday night by O’Higgins de Rancagua. The light blue team, at the El Teniente stadium, will receive Palestino, a team that is performing in the Copa Libertadores and that, next week, could secure its place in the group stage of the tournament by playing in the World Cup.
And in Capo they look with respect at what the team led by Pablo Sánchez is doing, because as coach Juan Manuel Azconzábal said, “we know that we are going to face one of the best teams in the country, I have no doubt about that.”
Precisely, the leader of the National Tournament will receive a team that is having good international performance and that, in addition, was conveniently reinforced to play two simultaneous tournaments.
“Palestino has very good players,” Vasco pointed out, also indicating that “those who come to play here are within Palestino’s choice as a squad.”
What’s more, he thinks that the tricolors could appear with a mix of starters and substitutes considering the international challenge they will have next week. “Those who are in the best condition are going to play against us, I don’t think they will give advantages from that side and we have to focus, beyond always being on the visualization of what the opponent can do, on being a solid team and strong,” he said.
What’s more, in order to defeat the Arabs and secure the fourth victory in a row, he commented that “we must improve as a team, consolidate certain facets of the game, for the team to be predictable to defend and surprise to attack”, and that “we are giving signs of firmness, of order. We must, of course, continue to progress in these factors, continue to have the initiative to go in search of the rival goal as many times as possible and be forceful.”
Currently, the team’s internal competition has increased individual performance and that generates confidence among the team. In this regard, he added that, to make a summons, “the choice is not easy and that is thanks to the predisposition of the players, because they are professionals and know what the rules of the game are like,” plus “that all the players compete for a First of all, that strengthens us as a group and as a team.”
Finally, the technical director of the light blue team stated that there is a full squad, but that “the one who will not be there is Esteban Moreira, we wish him a speedy recovery because he is a significant loss for us.”
