translated from Spanish: Caputto and the return of football: “We have to be calm and patient”

The coach of the University of Chile, Hernán Caputto, called this Friday to “calm” and to have “patience” in the face of the desire to be able to return soon to face-to-face training and football activity, in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. At a remote press conference, the collegiate cast strato spoke about the return of football in Chile, paralyzed since mid-March. For the AnFP Return Commission and the Government Authorities, 31 July appears as a likely date for resuming powers.” We are attentive, always with a very clear protocol in what we are doing and what has been delivered not only from the ANFP, but from our own club. We have to be calm and patient, that’s important. There is no certainty of the day of the return, the team stays very well, training with many expectations of the return and with health,” he said. In addition, the blue technician explained that a period of four to six weeks of face-to-face internships prior to the return of official competition would be ideal. “The mood is very important, they also come to their close environment in health and that is key. We’ve seen leagues that’s back, it helps us to see and get ideas.” Meanwhile, the former coach of the ‘Roja’ U17 stressed that in this period of confinement they have managed to recover players who were injured.” Time has favored players that we didn’t have available. Fernando (Cornejo) and Jean (Beausejour) have been training in optimal conditions for more than 15 days. That’s very good, it helps us a lot to encouragement,” he said. On the other hand, the former archer avoided dramatizing the complications that the collegiate institution will have of hiring players, due to the economic instability that led to the arrest of the activity by the Covid-19.” We see a lot of the immediate, surely we are all going to be influenced by what is going on. The issue of hiring is not something that is first, first because I am very happy with the campus and then because there have been certain economic issues that are more important. There is no urgent need,” he said. In the interest of players such as Marcelo Díaz and Mauricio Isla coming to the ‘U’, Caputto stated that “today our priority is to return to training, then we will see everything that may happen, things in the future it is more difficult to see. The players to come or who intend to come I think will be chatting in due course. Today is not what he prioritizes.”
