Colo Colo and UC players could miss tour with the “Red”

Francis Cagigao, sports director of the Chilean Football Federation (FFCh), after the players of Colo Colo and Universidad Católica could miss the tour of the “Roja” in the United States, where they will face Mexico and El Salvador.Cagigao explained that this afternoon the pre-payroll of the Chilean team for the December friendlies will be announced, but that in case “albos” and “crusaders” play a definition for the title, their players will not be able to integrate into the national squad. The sporting director said that on the one hand, we have the conviction to seek the future of Chilean football. On the other hand, it is difficult for us to make this list. This afternoon we will give a very wide prelist, because if Católica and Colo Colo end up tied we will not be able to count on those players, “according to La Tercera.In the same line, he explained that “the final payroll will only be made on December 4 at night and with uncertainty. For us from the national team we would like the matches of December 5 to be played early. I personally made that request to the Sifup.” Cagigago criticized the bases of the National Championship, pointing out that in case the “UC” and the “cacique” finished the contest tied in points, the champion should define by the goal difference. I am surprised that the goal difference is not worth it in the upper part, but in the low. Yes it is valid in the Qualifiers and in the English league, not here, but well, someone decided so, “he said. It should be remembered that the “Red” will face Mexico on Wednesday, December 8 at 23:00 hours, while three days later (December 11) will play against El Salvador (20:00 hours).
