Colo Colo is experiencing a sweet present after qualifying for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. The white team, thanks to Carlos Palacios’ penalty goal against Cerro Porteño, managed to advance to the round and with this they look optimistically at what is to come for the second half of the year.
La Joya was one of the Cacique’s great players in Guaraní lands. In addition to the goal, he pulled the strings and showed what is required of a player of his characteristics in important matches: carry the team on his shoulders and be a constant danger factor.
Quite a relief for Palacios, who had been targeted for his irregularity in this year’s matches. Even Jorge Almirón had given him a task in this regard, ensuring that he expected more from him in terms of performance, especially due to his playing characteristics.
But it has not been the only problem for those formed in Unión Española this year. He had also experienced a frustrated transfer to Boca Juniors and even rumors arose about internal problems between him and other members of the squad. Situations that put him in the fans’ sights in recent weeks.

And after the classification, Palacios took advantage of burying all kinds of problems. In DSports, La Joya highlighted that “my personality is like thatI am a serious person and I am not so much about laughing. We have never had problems with the team, “We have never argued over who wants the ball, the same thing happens in free kicks and penalties.”
“In it team we have a very good relationship and I think it speaks very well of the team, since each one respects the personality of the other. I’m not much of a social media reader, I often find out through my friends that bother me and tell me ‘You spent your time playing angry’but they know my personality,” he added.
“I think if people annoys with a person it is because he knows that he can give more, he knows that he is better. If it were for me would give two assistances and would score two goals per game,” added La Joya, showing self-criticism about his performance in this first part of the year.
Palacios will be able to continue demonstrating an increase in his performance this weekend, when Cacique faces Deportes Copiapó, for the last date of the first round of the National Championship. The albos, three points from the top, will seek to finish as high as possible this part of the year.
