Fernando Solabarrieta and Dante Poli had a tense encounter on the air when discussing the opportunity for young people in Chilean soccer and, above all, Colo Colo.
A new ‘encounterazo’ starred Fernando Solabarrieta and Dante Politwo of the faces of ESPN.
In the middle of a new chapter of F90, host and panelist “warmed up” when talking regarding the options of young people in Chilean soccer clubs and, specifically, what happened in Colo Colo, where several were “erased” by Gustavo Quinteros.
“Between the step from the youth to consolidate in the first division, they need a coach to bench them,” said Solabarrieta warming up the atmosphere.
In relation to the same, the journalist remarked that “there are some (extraordinary) cases that do not… Even my mother put Salas on, you don’t have to be such a good technician to put it on”.
“¡No me jodan! Salas, Ronaldo, Messi… those are put alone, they do not need a push. The rest need confidence, to be made to play 5 or 6 games in a row. Let’s see what happens,” he remarked.
Poli, for his part, accused Solabarrieta of wanting to “clothe young people.” Something that, in his opinion, should not happen.
“Stop tucking in the young! Cut her out of it!”said the ex-soccer player bluntly, adding: “Get out of that comfort zone, of permanent care and protection, man!”
Along the same lines, Poli stated that the young ‘albos’ did not play well enough to earn a place and the full confidence of the DT.
“When a club like Colo Colo wants to fight for a Copa Libertadores, they were important, but not enough to be a starter,” he added.
Finally, Solabarrieta insisted that Quinteros does not trust the youngsters, while Poli defended the strategist and remarked that no one is here to be a starter in this team.
