The Cacique’s journey in Uruguayan lands ended in what was a new edition of the Río de La Plata Series, and where the albos achieved two victories, against Olimpia and Peñarol by definition on penalties, and a defeat, against Alianza Lima.
After the last game, where Colo Colo beat Peñarol by definition from twelve steps, the Cacique strategist, Fernando Ortiz, delivered his concepts after what was done against Carbonero.
“I liked the team. The team does not lose that DNA that we have with this system, it has been intense in the first half, I really liked it in general terms. In the second half we put in another system and I liked it too. I am satisfied with this friendly series we had in Uruguay“.
Regarding what was done on the tour in Montevideo, the strategist draws good conclusions: “It helps me. The coach has to have the calm and balance to know that in these friendlies he has to try, insist and work. I understand that the fan wants to win every game, but it is necessary to rotate situations so that I am not surprised tomorrow in the Tournament“.
Regarding the strange situation that Cristián Zavala experienced with his penalty, which he kicked apparently injured, Ortiz explained what happened: “Zavala had a problem. I understand wanting to execute a penalty, those are the crazy things and anxiety that Cristián has, but I believe that his emotion led him to execute it. They are checking it now, hopefully it’s nothing serious.“he declared.
