The hard setback that Ñublense received on Monday night against Deportes Linares, a rival from the Second Professional Division. Not only did it arouse strong criticism among the fans for having fallen to a team from a lower category. The annoyance also arose in coach Mario Salas, who criticized the “performance” of his players, whom he shook up so that they can reach the final of the southern regional phase of the Copa Chile 2024, in the rematch that will be played this Thursday, at 7:00 p.m., at the Nelson Oyarzún stadium in Chillán.
“We played a very bad game. There is a football and attitude issue in which we did not know how to face this type of game and Linares surpassed us. Linares brought out something to which our response was deficient,” reflected the “Commander” with self-criticism, who will take a hard revenge.
“We showed few strengths and now the focus is on winning our match at the Nelson Oyarzún stadium. We lost because Linares was superior and approached the match with the attitude that we did not have. We also did not know how to make our footballing arguments prevail. It leaves us with a tremendous challenge to win the next match, which is the first thing we have to do and see if we can then widen the gap,” said the coach of the “red devils,” who anticipates that they will have to improve significantly.
“Thursday’s match is a tremendous challenge, because the opponent comes onto the field with an advantage and we intend to overcome them and ourselves in terms of football and attitude compared to what we did in the first match,” he commented.

Regarding the possible arrival of a reinforcement, which would be a forward in the mix, Mario Salas confessed: “I don’t know, we are still looking into it, we can’t rush and we want to do it right.”
Finally, regarding the repeated rescheduling of matches in the Copa Chile, he said: “They are terrible, they bother us because we schedule training sessions and we have to change them because of these modifications that are unfortunately part of our football.”
