Johnny Herrera always leave some interesting phrase regarding University of Chile. The former blue captain sees with concern the moment of the team, which is not having a good time in the National Tournament. Without going any further, he fell before United Coquimbo and was two points from the relegation zone. In this context, today’s panelist referred to the low defensive level of the team he leads santiago escobarexpressing what the defense of the U should be and thumbing down one of the promises of Chilean soccer: Daniel González, current Santiago Wanderers player and that has been linked with the institution to join the winter market. Herrera does not believe that caturro is the solution.
“They removed (Ignacio) Tapia from Huachipato who relegated, they removed Bastián Tapia who comes from the Second Division, they brought in (José María) Carrasco who comes from Bolivia and spent a year or so without playing with a cruciate (ligament) injury and Are you telling me that they are going to bring González from the Second Division to affirm the defense of a team that intends to be champion or fight? You have to see it here too, you need to bring someone proven”he said openly on the TNT Sports program We Are All Technicians.
In the same instance, Herrera chose his central duo for this moment: José María Carrasco and Bastián Tapia. “Bastián Tapia played a tremendous game, I think he found a center back… for me he has to play with Carrasco (…). In one way or another, the one with the most experience is Carrasco, whether we like it or not. Tapia has just appeared, he was in the Second Division (N. of the R: played in Deportes Iquique the Torneo de Ascenso or mostly known as Primera B), Ignacio Tapia comes from descending practically with a team (…). Given how little we have behind, Carrasco has to play, because at least he talks a little“, said.
And he added: “I have tried to focus on what (Hernán) Galíndez is and he is a goalkeeper who does not communicate much, so very predictable mistakes are noticed due to lack of communication. You need someone to shout and order a little more, to harangue a little more. (Yonathan) Andía is not to talk regarding, (Marcelo) Morales less so and you have a line of four plus the goalkeeper that gives the impression that they hardly knew each other’s voice, ”he commented.
“La U played a good game from the middle up, but here we got tired of notifying the problems where they were. They score a goal at the last minute due to lack of experience in an area. It’s not for charging Morales specifically. Maybe (José) Castro played and they also did it to him, but he is an abc of soccer. They go for your goal, finally cut the play if you don’t stand up well to defend, because Morales’ mark, frankly, was not up to the level of the First Division. He runs away like a child chasing the ball.”
