The white midfielder spared no consideration after the victory against Internacional de Porto Alegre, which excluded the Cacique from the Copa Sudamericana. The popular team are now focusing on their next challenge: Deportes La Serena, for the national championship.
Colo Colo is still trying to digest what he experienced last night in Beira-Rio, in Porto Alegre. He arrived at the Brazilian stadium with a first advantage of two goals, due to the victory he had won in the first leg against Internacional, at the Monumental, a difference that he even dug thanks to the penalty converted by Gabriel Costa . What followed was a real disaster. Gustavo Quinteros’ side couldn’t sustain the pressure from Colorado and made some gross defensive mistakes that eventually eliminated them from the Copa Sudamericana, the last chance to achieve anything internationally. In Brazil, moreover, they give characteristics of exploit to the reaction of the team of Rio de Janeiro.
In Cacique, the debacle in Brazil hurts. First because it breaks the illusion and then it is attributed to their own mistakes. “It wasn’t our best game. The first 15 minutes we were fine, but then they came everywhere . It was difficult to go to the clash, they had a lot of space. Defeat happens because we weren’t very smart in the key moments of the game . We weren’t 100% involved”, this is the beginning of the harsh self-criticism that Esteban Pavez made after the hard setback.
The midfielder continued his crude analysis, with even more vehemence. “It hurts us a lot, but we will continue. We gave the ranking and lost it every time. The mistakes were clearly ours more than the skill of the rival “, he underlines.

Criticism of Pavez, who returned to Macul this season after passing through Mexican football, also focused on the tactical disposition with which the albos approached the engagement. “We try to talk a lot. I am also a player who talks a lot, but after the goal the lines were very long. We tried to correct it, but we were reckless. We were leading 3-0 and obviously it hurts. You have to turn the page “, phrasing.
However, the midfielder won’t be able to contribute immediately to White’s attempt to recover in the domestic competition. On the last day, just before traveling to Porto Alegre in search of the frustrated classification, he was sent off in the game against Everton, in Viña del Mar, which will force Gustavo Quinteros to find him a replacement for the game against papayas .
For this meeting the Cacique will not have César Fuentes either, injured in Ciudad Jardín which on top of Pavez’s absence presupposes major midfield surgery, leaving him without his usual confinement duo. The other injured is Jeyson Rojas, suspended, also expelled in Sausalito.
