Colo Colo couldn’t beat Cobresal on his visit to El Salvador. The white team wasted both times they were ahead and ended up regretting a 2-2 draw for the eleventh round of the local tournament. A renowned rapporteur liquidated Jorge Almiron for what was proposed in the commitment.
For Vladimiro Mimica, the coach of the albos did not know how to read how to face the local team at altitude. The reporter for the club’s title in the 1991 Copa Libertadores indicated that the players exhibited notable fatigue, but that Jorge Almirón did not notice it. After that, Cobresal managed to reach parity.
“Almirón did not know how to react and did not read the match well. There were suffocated and very tired players in the midfield. His legs were not reacting to what his brain was asking for. As is the case of (Leonardo) Gil, who had Vicente Pizarro on the bench,” he stated.
“That would have given Colo Colo football, it would have managed the ball. The tie was fair. The great responsibility was on Colo Colo, thinking that he intends to continue fighting for the title of champion. “It was blurred in El Salvador,” he added.
Colo Colo asks for water in the tournament
Finally, Mimica ruled out that the fight for the title is over for the whites, but he does believe that they are devolving in the game. This was evident against Cobresal, a tie that distances them from the top. What’s more, the rapporteur warns: if the U defeats Iquique the panorama will be even more complex.
“While mathematically you can aspire to the title there is nothing said, but winning Universidad de Chile is far away. Fundamentally, he moves away in the football field. He didn’t play well at all against Cobresal. “He ended up asking for water and oxygen in the last minutes of the game,” he concluded.
Next meeting of the Cacique
The next match for the albos will be against Fluminense for the Copa Libertadores. It will be played on Thursday, May 9, from 8:00 p.m., at the Monumental Stadium.
