Colo Colo He is known for being one of the most important talent trainers in the national territory, so much so that several of those who emerged from the club have become top-level footballers. Arturo Vidal, Claudio Bravo and Gabriel Suazo are some of those who are still active, all three with international buzz, although the same cannot always be repeated with all the youth players.
A clear example of this is the cases of Branco Provoste, Luciano Arriagada and Joan Cruz, who decided not to continue wearing the Cacique shirt, hoping to succeed outside the club. The first of them had made a notable appearance in Colo Colo in 2018, but decided to leave in 2021 for Ñublense, where things did not go so well for him, since he was free in December and only returned to play in June of this year with the colors of Deportes Limache in the Second Division.
A similar situation is experienced by Arriagada, who left the white team in January of last year for Atlético Paranaense, but not satisfied with his performance, he loaned him to Audax Italiano until the end of the year. Finally, midfielder Cruz dreamed big about his departure to Oviedo Vetusta in Spain in April 2023, although he returned to the country in just a few months to play for Everton de Viña del Mar on loan.
When does Colo Colo debut for the Chile Cup?
After the defeat with Deportes Copiapó, Colo Colo They closed the first round of the National Tournament in fourth place with 26 points, six behind the leader, Universidad de Chile. If this is added to the classification to the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores, one could say that it is a positive balance for those led by Jorge Almirón, who will have their debut in the Copa Chile this week.
Next Thursday, the popular team will face Deportes Quillón for the round of 16 of the South Central Zone starting at 12:30 pm in Chile (10:30 am CDMX and 1:30 pm Argentina).
