The frontal system that is hitting the Ñuble Region did not stop the momentum of the Ñublense red devils in the face of Sunday’s duel, at 3 pm, for the Chile Cup, against San Antonio de Temuco, but it did impact the planning of the training sessions, since they had to move to the municipal stadium of Coihueco, which has synthetic grass, to prepare for a match that they classified as a final.
“It was a normal week in which we trained completely, preparing ourselves with all the seriousness and professionalism. I know this neighborhood club like the one I left. It’s nice to play again against a team that I played against when I was a kid in Temuco,” reflected the left-footed midfielder, Iván Rozas, who trained in amateur football in Temuco before jumping to the lower ranks of the Universidad de Chile.
Marcos Plaza, who is one of those who will start this Sunday at the Germán Becker stadium, stressed that they take this match with great responsibility.
The same commitment
“The truth is that despite the weather, we have trained very well, we have not lowered the intensity, the professionalism with which we have approached this match is the same and with the same seriousness as always, we are going to go and play for the all or nothing like all the matches of the championship have been.”
Forward Pedro Sánchez stressed that the team has trained very intensively despite the inclement weather.
“I think the weather conditions have not been the best, but in Coihueco we have done well in a stadium that allows us to train well. We are calm, we have worked and planned this match with San Antonio very seriously, with commitment, the training sessions have been intense and competitive because everyone wants to have a place and Sunday will be an important match because we want to bring back the three points from Temuco and get through the tie. We are convinced that we will go and get the result for which we have trained.”
One of those who could appear in the starting lineup is the left-back, ex-Coquimbo Unido, trained at Colo Colo, Felipe Yañez, who has a clear objective.
“It has been a very complicated week due to the rain, but we have gotten through it very well, working in the best way possible. We take this match very seriously and professionally, it is a final for us because it is a unique match and we want to continue advancing in the Copa Chile,” he summed up.
Last year, Ñublense was eliminated in the southern regional phase of the Copa Chile, after incurring in an administrative error in the match with Comunal Cabrero, in which midfielder Manuel Rivera entered the team, who was not registered on the roster.
