The triumph of Colo Colo About Palestino he left the 2024 National Championship red hot and, even, on the next date the champions’ cup will be in the Monumental Stadium with the intact chance that the albos can be champion.
For that, they will have to defeat Deportes Iquique on the penultimate day and hope that Universidad de Chile does not succeed in its visit to Chillán to face Ñublense on a day that promises to be heart-stopping.
Miguel Ramírez, DT of Sports Iquique and next rival of the albos, spoke to the press and recalled the sins they committed against the Cacique in the first semester: “We wanted to do the same as with UC, but they have players who got out of the pressure more easily than other teams. The approach we wanted to make made Colo Colo play one of its best games of the tournament“, said.
“Now their needs and ours are the same, get the three points. The work will continue with our identity, our way of playing, being faster to reduce and read the game, trying to prevent them from being able to connect,” he anticipated next week’s commitment.
Ramírez promises to leave his love for Colo Colo aside: “My present is Deportes Iquique and qualifying for an international tournament. I was in a team that won the Copa Libertadores, it is a unique experience and I would like to experience it as a coach,” he added.
In closing, he complements by saying that “There are comments that are made about my past, but I have always been super respectful of the institutions I am in. I will never put my professionalism on the table, Even though I was born in Colo Colo, I will work this game to win it. “I want to qualify for an international tournament and I think this team deserves it,” he concluded.
