Things have been done badly for a long time and all the bad that has happened to us is ratified.” Everyone has to do a self-criticism. When we’re in this situation everything is adverse, everything is bad, but we have to keep working. Together we have to achieve it,” he complemented. On the encounter with the Bolivians, Paredes argued that “we were never overtaken, we were superior in the second half. We didn’t find the goal we wanted. They caught us against it and make the goal.” After being left out of international competitions, Colo Colo has to concentrate on leaving the last places of the National Championship.
