Colo Colo drew with Huachipato
in the penultimate round of the group stage of Copa Chile, and José Luis Sierra was not satisfied despite qualifying for the next round.
The coach of the white team said that his team was better. However, he acknowledged that dominating the opponent was not an important factor for the final result.
The match:
We had the initiative, we controlled the game. The opponent relied more on our mistakes than on seeking a way to harm us. We lacked some depth. In general, we didn't have any defensive pressures, only the penalty.
The strategy:
Controlling the game just for the sake of it ends up generating insecurity. I can be superior, but if there's a tie, the opponent builds expectations. That's what happened to us.
The opponent:
Huachipato didn't impose their terms. If they had, they would have had more goal opportunities. And I remember they didn't have any.
Balance:
This match was much better than others we played defensively. I believe we need to keep working on what's to come.
Garcés:
I don't analyze players individually. If he did something well, that's what the goalkeeper is for.
Barroso:
He couldn't turn his head. It was better for him to be substituted.
Paredes:
We'll evaluate him, it's very recent.
Jadama:
Against a tough opponent, against difficult forwards, I think he did quite well. For his debut, it seems like a good performance to me.
Penalty on Vecchio?
I think it was a penalty. That's why the assistant referee marked it. For me, it was a double mistake because Emiliano was cautioned. As for the supposed goal, I don't think it was a goal.
Suazo:
Humberto did very good things; we want to take care of him after his injury. The substitution for Vilches was to look for a variation.
