Revisiting the wave of ridicule left behind by the Brasileirao bottom team’s humiliating loss to Colo Colo

The essentials of Colo Colo’s loss to América Mineiro for the Copa Sudamericana had social media erupting in mockery over the albos’ performance. Memes and videos were the tonic in the hours following the elimination of the Chilean soccer champion.

Internet users mainly pointed the finger at Gustavo Quinteros, who with his bet of five defenders practically delivered the classification, because it was obvious that the players could not adapt to the scheme proposed by the Argentine coach.

Additionally, the memes also focused on the problems Colo Colo had to overcome in the international cup qualifiers, remembering the Libertadores eliminations and this one from the Copa Sudamericana.

All this comes hours after the 5-1 elimination against América Mineiro in Brazil. Match that could jeopardize the relationship between DT and the players, since the words were totally opposite once the match was over.

“The line of three cost us dearly. If we came in with a line of four and did the same as in Chile maybe that would change but they scored the three goals for us and we weren’t firm from the start and that cost us the match” launched defender Maximiliano Falcón.

For its part, Quinteros responded harshly at a press conference. “Defensively, we were a disaster. I’m ashamed that the team defends like that. We didn’t score in the box, we didn’t take any rebounds and it happened after several games. But it was very bad and as a coach I’m ashamed that we worked like that.” accused.
