Colo Colo is preparing to play one of the most important matches so far in the 2024 season. El Cacique collides with Fluminense on the fourth round of the Copa Libertadores with the obligation to win to secure their place in the next round.
For this match, Jorge Almirón has to solve a tremendous problem since he will not be able to count on Arturo Vidal and Leonardo Gil. Both were left out due to an accumulation of yellows, which leaves the coach with the mission of finding a formation to match.
Without two of the pillars in his scheme, the strategist moves the eleven to leave the three points in the Monumental Stadium. And two days before the duel, the Chief already has defined the replacements for both.
Colo Colo goes with a renewed midfield in its formation against Fluminense
Colo Colo has an important mission against Fluminense in the Copa Libertadores. El Cacique faces the current champion of the tournament to fight for the leadership of Group A and thus get a foothold in the round of 16.
Without Arturo Vidal or Leonardo Gil due to suspension, Jorge Almirón is working on a formation with a renewed midfield. Of course, what will change will be the scheme since in terms of names things don’t change much.
Brayan Cortés will be in goal as he has been all season. In defense, all the stars return with the recovery of Alan Saldivia, who joins Óscar Opazo, Maximiliano Falcón and Erick Wiemberg, who missed the previous duel due to expulsion.
The midfield is the sector where there should be new developments when going from four to three. Esteban Pavez, Vicente Pizarro and Carlos Palacios as liaison will be in charge of protecting that area of the playing field.
Finally there is the forward, where Cristián Zavala, Damián Pizarro and Marcos Bolados will be the chosen ones. The trident will have the great task of finding the goals, the outstanding debt so far this season.
In this way, Colo Colo prepares a formation with a change of scheme against Fluminense. This would be with Brayan Cortes in goal; Óscar Opazo, Alan Saldivia, Maximiliano Falcón and Erick Wiemberg in defense; Esteban Pavez, Vicente Pizarro and Carlos Palacios in the midfield; Cristián Zavala, Damián Pizarro and Marcos Bolados in the front.
