Colo Colo changed the chip of the 2023 National Championship quickly and immediately focused on what will be his commitment once morest Universidad Católica for the regional final of Copa Chile. In the first leg, the Albos will have to visit the Crusaders in an empty Santa Laura Stadium, which also suffers from the number of games played on its grass.
The foregoing worries Gustavo Quinteros. The DT of the Cacique pointed out that it is very difficult to play good football on a field in poor condition and that this situation directly affects the show. Beyond said observation, the coach is confident that his pupils can overcome the field and, for that, the formation that will jump to the colossus of Independence is practically ready.
What is the formation of Colo Colo vs UC for Copa Chile?
In the last training session held at the Monumental Stadium, Quinteros formed with Ferdinand de Paul in the bow; Óscar Opazo, Maximiliano Falcón, Alan Saldivia and Erick Wiemberg in defence; Esteban Pavez, Cesar Fuentes and Leonardo Gil in midfield; Jordhy Thompson, Damian Pizarro and Carlos Palacios in front.
The surprise lies in the inclusion of Erick Wiemberg in the defensive line. Although the Valdivian has appeared in Copa Chile matches, the truth is that in the 2023 National Championship he was left out of the call in the last four commitments. Thus, the former Unión La Calera has the great option of showing himself as an alternative for the tournament, especially if he faces a rival like UC.
Another who stands out in the eleven that the strategist has in mind is Óscar Opazo. El Torta suffered muscle discomfort a couple of weeks ago and his recovery was quick, he was still not on the field from the start. Thus, with the inclusion from the first minute of the side, César Fuentes will return to his position to accompany Esteban Pavez, leaving Vicente Pizarro on the substitute bench.
Fernando de Paul, meanwhile, returns to ownership and confirms the fact that Gustavo Quinteros is giving the Colo Colo goalkeepers a match each. El Tuto will stand under the three posts to take care of the alba shelf and will also have the help of Maximiliano Falcón and Alan Saldivia, who left behind his physical complications and recovered ownership to the detriment of Ramiro González.
What time is the regional final of Copa Chile?
Albos and Crusaders will face each other this Wednesday, August 16 from 6:00 p.m. at the Santa Laura Stadium. All the details of this transcendental match can be found LIVE and ONLINE through DaleAlbo.cl.
