Colo Colo has a big week, because this Thursday he receives the current champion of the Libertadores Cup of America, Fluminenseforced to win to continue with options to get into the round of 16.
The box of Jorge Almiron He comes under pressure to the duel with the Brazilians, because on the last date he had a terrible result, because he barely tied with Alianza Lima at the Monumental stadium.
In addition, coach Colocolino arrives under pressure, because he has many casualties in the midfield, since Arturo Vidal and Leonardo Gil are suspended, while Gonzalo Castellani was injured in the warm-up against Cobresal.
Almirón’s options
Colo Colo has a short squad and the injuries plus the suspensions have Almirón walking through walls, who only has fixed options in the middle zone at Esteban Pavez and Vicente Pizarro.
In this way, Plan A that the Cacique manages emerges, and it would be to play with a now classic 4-3-3, with Brayan Cortés; Óscar Opazo, Maximiliano Falcón, Alan Saldivia, Erick Wiemberg; Pavez, Pizarro, Carlos Palacios; Marcos Bolados, Damián Pizarro, and Cristián Zavala.
While another chance that the strategist has is to use a line of three central defenders, where Emiliano Amor would take center stage, as a libero against the Flu and occupy a 3-5-2 formation.
In that case the eleven could be with Brayan Cortés; Maximiliano Falcón, Emiliano Amor, Alan Saldivia; Óscar Opazo, Esteban Pavez, Vicente Pizarro, Erick Wiemberg; Carlos Palacios; Marcos Bolados (Cristián Zavala), Damián Pizarro.
Colo Colo and Jorge Almirón are experiencing key days, and in the next training sessions they will define the eleven that they will put against the champion of America.
