translated from Spanish: Iván Morales: “If I score a goal I will dedicate it to Esteban Paredes”

Iván Morales, striker of Colo Colo, referred this Thursday to what will be the Superclásico on Sunday against Universidad de Chile, acknowledging that he talked about the match with Esteban Paredes.In a press conference, Morales explained that “I have already spoken with Esteban Paredes. He has always wished me the best and I have already promised him that if I score a goal I will dedicate it to him.” In addition, the attacker said that “I have been playing a lot and the responsibility is greater in this classic. I love having this pressure of being the ‘9’ of Colo Colo. This party has become much more mature.” Scoring a goal will be a nice memory for a lifetime, but being champion would be the best. We seek to get the three points and move away from the opponent. I aim for the championship more than to score a goal in the classic, “said the player. He also said that “all the boys who are here are from the quarry and we know what it is to play a classic. The youngest are prepared, as are the older ones. Here a nice mix has been created between the juveniles and the older ones.” Morales also indicated that “all the classics are different and both teams want to win, it is played to the death and we are working very well for Sunday to take advantage.” The striker valued the trust that his teammates and Gustavo Quinteros have placed in him, expressing that “I am very happy to hear that the teacher has those words for me. I will go with a lot of desire to score and keep that memory.” In this same sense, the scorer “albo” said that “the leadership in this case, has to realize how well (Quinteros) does to the club (..) I want the teacher to continue. I’m sure the leadership will take notice and they will renew his contract.” Colo Colo will visit Universidad de Chile next Sunday at 4:30 p.m. at the El Teniente Stadium in Rancagua, valid for the 22nd date of the National Championship.
