The Colo-Colo technician, Jorge Almironexpressed his disappointment after the 2-2 draw against Cobresal this Saturday, a result that distances the popular team from the first places in the standings of the national tournament.
Almirón recognized his team’s effort by scoring two goals in the difficult altitude of El Salvador, but regretted the inability to close the match in their favor and secure the three points. “We dominated, we had the advantage. Scoring two goals here (in El Salvador) is not easy, but we are missing two points. The team in general has to know how to sustain the result and today it was not possible,” commented the strategist.
The coach highlighted the wear and tear made by the team and pointed out that, despite continuing to attack and create danger, a specific error cost them the tie. “It is a shame that we are missing two important points.“Added Almirón.
Before the next match in the Copa Libertadores against Fluminense, Almirón anticipated a totally different match and highlighted the need for greater concentration during the 90 minutes. “We will be local and We will have to be more attentive and concentrated in each play“, he pointed.
Colo Colo immediately returns to Santiago and from this Sunday will begin to prepare for the confrontation against Fluminense. The match will be played on Thursday, May 9 at 8:00 p.m. (00:00 GMT), and Almirón is confident that the team will be physically recovered to face this new challenge in the Copa Libertadores.
