“Thompson and Pizarro (Damián) made mistakes and when those mistakes in private life affect the group, action must be taken. No one will be called up for tomorrow’s game,” the DT said at a press conference.
“They are sorry, the passion of soccer, the eternal friends that take them down a path that they should not, and they get carried away, makes us make the decision. It is not something so serious, but it is a mistake. It won’t be forever they have the obligation to train and do everything possible to be in the next game… I don’t know when they will return“, he added.
The Superclassic
About the Superclásico, Quinteros said: “All the players know what they have to do and we are very well prepared for tomorrow’s game. The classics are stuck, but we hope to make a good game and make it a great show.”
“We know it will be a tough game, we have to face an opponent who is injured. We talked all week about this. The classic always has an extra seasoning that influences motivation. We have to be at our 100% to have the best chance of winning,” he continued.
About injury recoveries: “Oscar Opazo trained normally since Tuesday and Leonardo Gil only today did not train normally as a precaution. Alan Saldivia also recovered.”
Finally, he closed by recounting an injury to Fabián Catsillo: “He could have had more opportunities now, but unfortunately he had an injury and surely it will be operated. It’s going to take him a couple of months away.”
The Superclásico will take place this Saturday at 3:00 p.m. (7:00 p.m. GMT) at the Santa Laura Stadium for Date 23 of the National Championship.
