Colo Colo seeks to replicate the success of Pablo Solari and Alan Saldivia’s formula and, for this reason, began tests with three Argentines, who dazzled and stayed at the Monumental. Nahuel Flores, Bautista Giannoni and Fidel Tourn already do their thing in Macul and Giannoni even shines in the Projection category.
Giannoni and Tour share origins. Both from Bahía Blanca, they came to Cacique with the dream of making their debut in the first team and starting their great career. The first, a forward who has already accumulated four goals in three games played and who fuels the enthusiasm of Popular fans.
What many wonder is how the arrival of the players to the Eternal Champion was conceived. Both accumulated tests and approaches with other Argentine clubs, until a former trans-Andean soccer player picked up the phone and contacted Ariel Paolorossi to tell him about these guys.
This is Rómulo Severini, Argentine, former striker who has a great relationship with the head of young football at Colo Colo. He spent his career in clubs such as Villa Mitre, Sporting Braga of Portugal, Orihuela of Spain, Aldosivi, among others. In fact, in Tiburón he is remembered to this day, since he scored a double with which he returned said club to the National B, after five years, in 2005.
The manager of the Cacique’s new jewels
Severini maintains constant contact with Paolorossi. In fact, as DaleAlbo learned, Giannoni’s entourage is very grateful for his management and for having opened the way for Colo Colo. Besides, He accompanied both footballers in the month of February at the Monumental, where he was able to share with several people linked to the development of Semillero Albo.
Thus, while Giannoni is already breaking networks in the Projection, Fidel Tourn is waiting to turn 18 to officially begin his story at the Pedrero venue. Meanwhile, he continues training intensely to be an alternative and earn a name in the Eternal Champion.
How is Colo Colo Projection doing in the standings?
