The return of Aníbal Mosa to the presidency of Blanco y Negro begins a new era for Colo Colo towards the centenary. The Puertomontian wants to open his wallet and reinforce Jorge Almirón’s team accordingly, although for that it is crucial to advance in the Copa Libertadores.
In that sense, the Cacique has already defined which positions will be reinforced for the second semester. The idea is to bring in a right back, an offensive midfielder and a forward, positions that already have permanent candidates for the upcoming market.
We are talking about Felipe Loyola in the rearguard area and Luciano Cabral from midfield upwards. Both the defender from Huachipato and the attacker from Coquimbo are one of the main figures in Chilean football today, so Colo Colo are willing to pay for their services.
In addition, Mosa has already made it clear that he has in mind to extend Damián Pizarro’s stay until the end of the year. The forward must leave for Udinese in a few more weeks, something that the Puertomontino will seek to avoid to have him for the entire 2024 season.
This being the case, we can now begin to put together the “Colo Colo Galactico” that Aníbal Mosa wants to put together to face the second semester, hopefully with the team classified for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores.
It would be with Brayan Cortés in goal; Erick Wiemberg, Alan Saldivia, Maximiliano Falcón and Felipe Loyola; Esteban Pavez, Arturo Vidal and Luciano Cabral in midfield; Marcos Bolados (Cristián Zavala), Damián Pizarro and Carlos Palacios.
There is also the option of putting together a 4-4-2, something that Almirón has already done in 2024. There Joya Palacios would retreat, leaving Pizarro (or Paiva) up with the forward that the Cacique wants to bring.
Now we will have to see if the negotiations come to fruition and the main candidates that the Cacique is looking for arrive to strengthen the team. Furthermore, qualifying for the Libertadores will be key to advancing in the assembly of this dream cast.
When does Colo Colo play again?
Cacique’s next game will be against Cobresal on Saturday, May 4, starting at 3:00 p.m. at the El Cobre Stadium. Gustavo Huerta’s team has just beaten Audax Italiano 1-0 and is currently in 13th place with nine points.
