There are cases of footballers who had no problems wearing the shirt of one team at one time and that of their greatest rival at another, something that can currently be seen with Matías Zaldivia, who was in Colo Colo before arriving at the University of Chile. There is no club that is saved from this, not even Catholic Universitywhich a while ago had among its stars one of those who emerged in the blue box.
This is Valber Huerta, the center back who emerged in the Ñuñoa team and even became champion three times with the U, but who went through the Cacique in 2016 and ended up joining the ranks of the crossed team in 2019. In fact, the defender was a three-time champion of the National Tournament with Catholic University before leaving for Toluca, where he remained until he announced his departure from Liga MX a few days ago.
Last Friday, the UC announced on its social networks the return of the defender, who was also of interest to the Romántico Viajero, although he always gave priority to those from San Carlos de Apoquindo. This was stated at the press conference for his presentation, in which he revealed that he was patiently waiting for a possibility to leave Mexican soccer to once again wear the stripe on his chest.
“I always told them and they knew clearly that if there was the possibility of returning to Universidad Católica, I was not going to think twice and I was going to take it.”
The debut of Universidad Católica in the Chile Cup is coming
Without Copa Sudamericana or other international competition involved, University Catholic They closed the first round of the National Tournament in third place with 27 points, five behind the Blues, who have completely led the championship so far. Without a doubt, Tiago Nunes’ management has paid off after the dismissal of Nicolás Núñez and now a new challenge is added to his cycle.
And on Thursday, the Cruzados will debut in the Chile Cup against Glorias Navales for the round of 16 of the North Central Zone in the regional phase. This match will begin at 5:30 pm in Chile (3:30 pm CDMX and 6:30 pm Argentina) and will be played in Sausalito.
