Brayan Cortés made a serious mistake trying to play out from the back in Colo Colo's draw against O'Higgins de Rancagua. The Chilean goalkeeper gifted the ball, conceded a goal in the first minute, and then Gabriel Costa got himself sent off, making the task very difficult for Gustavo Quinteros' team, who nonetheless managed to rescue a point in Rancagua.
This action has been the subject of analysis in sports panels, where Johnny Herrera went beyond a isolated incident. "It's not so noticeable because it doesn't result in a goal, but he has had several of them. I think he should be smoother in his play with his feet, sometimes they try to do things that are not for them. When you're young, you're naturally better with the ball, with the goal, but he gives the impression that he has improved with his feet. It's an accident, but he shouldn't abuse it. When there is an excess of confidence, they make you come back down to earth a little bit, it should serve him for the future. Quinteros also said that they gave away the first goal. That has to hit home because it's justified," said the former goalkeeper on Todos Somos Técnicos, from TNT Sports.
He also emphasized that the player from Iquique "reached an important level, he is accompanied by a team with a good level like Colo Colo. But what is important is not just reaching, it is maintaining. Being at a high level for two, three, five years, that's what will stand out. The one who zigzags does not transcend."
"He has been making these plays for a while now. For me, he is not a goalkeeper that I can trust, despite everything he has done. For me, Sebastián Pérez is a better goalkeeper. Cortés is already 27 years old, he didn't just appear. I have followed the careers of all the goalkeepers in Chilean football. For one person it may be Cortés, for another it may be someone else, for me it's Pérez," he concluded.
Finally, Johnny Herrera wondered, "How long has he been playing regularly for Colo Colo without being pressured? With Miguel Pinto, the fans got on his case more. And he still hasn't received a concrete important offer. After so long playing for the national team, for a big team, in international tournaments, it's because they must see some little detail."
