Lucas Assadi was the great figure in Universidad de Chile’s important 2-1 victory against Everton. At the Sausalito in Viña del Mar, the blues won in injury time, thanks to an excellent goal from the youth squad, who entered at halftime.
The U remained in the lead of the National Championship, with 32 points. Coquimbo (27), which has two fewer games, is the only team of the guards that could surpass the leader when the first round definitively concludes.
Hence the significance of the agonizing goal that Assadi scored, also causing an important change in the personal situation of the youth player in the squad led by Gustavo Álvarez. The coach even excluded him from the call in the Classic against Universidad Católica.
Álvarez, after the victory, assured that “we lacked that acceleration in three quarters of the court, dribbling and clearance. “Lucas came in very well and was decisive on the scoreboard.”
“Assadi, in a system that we had modified in the previous match because we had to give ourselves more volume of play and more control, he achieved it. Furthermore, he crowned it with the goal and I am very happy for him,” the blue coach added.
Finally, Álvarez stressed that “you have to be patient. Especially with young players who generate expectations. There is no need to pressure them, they are always in consideration waiting for their opportunity. Assadi, like his companions, will look for his chance.”
