translated from Spanish: Marcelo Cañete after defeat in the sueprclásico: “anger because we lost, this match was key”

Marcelo Cañete: “This match was key and we can not get close”The Argentine midfielder Marcelo Cañete did not hide his discomfort for the defeat of Universidad de Chile by 3-1 in Rancagua against Colo Colo, for the 190th edition of the superclásico and corresponding to the 22nd date of the National Championship 2021.A misstep that leaves the blues 10 points away from their ‘archrival’, the leader of the table, so he is practically on the sidelines of the fight for the title. Cañete entered to play the second period and on the end he marked the discount with a powerful shot from 25 meters that exceeded the stretch of the goal Brayan Cortés.After the final whistle, the former Catholic University and Cobresal declared that “they found themselves with two goals very fast and we did not know how to lift”. In addition, the offensive midfielder admitted that the expulsion of Mario Sandoval ended up slowing the blue awakening in the second half. “These are circumstances that we have to learn to handle and know how to cope especially in these games that those types of advantages cost a lot, more with the result. You have to learn from mistakes and improve so that they don’t happen again,” he said. As for the feelings left by the defeat, the 31-year-old said that “anger because we lost, this game was key and we can not get close and we could not move forward. To continue working and to put a plus to take this forward”. The next challenge of the collegiate cast -fifth in the table with 33 units- will be on Wednesday, September 29 facing Santiago Wanderers in Valparaíso, for the 23rd date of the National Championship.
