Universidad de Chile vs La Serena

The defeat received in the university classic by Universidad Católica began a series of meager days for the Blues: the questioning of Hernán Caputto, the criticism of Jean Beausejour on social networks (even with a hashtag included) and finally the serious injury of Franco Lobos, who appeared as the ideal striker in view of the poor performance of Larrivey and Angelo Henríquez.

In addition to this, Caputto has been forced to hit the board and drastically change the formation of the Blues, with the departure of Matías Rodríguez (team captain), the most notable in addition to the fact that now he will only play with a forward.

Likewise, no player in the blue cast was nominated by Reinaldo Rueda and the one with the most possibilities (Pablo Aránguiz) suffered a fracture that will keep him from the courts for at least three months.

On the front side, things are not much better. The recent dismissal of Francisco Bozán due to poor results at the head of the garnet box, only adds another concern to the bottom of the tournament, which only accumulates losses and draws in the last five games.

Despite having experienced and quality players, the papayeros cannot find their game and cannot get out of the bottom of the table, which makes them flirt dangerously with relegation. A step that could be fleeting for the first division because the ascent of the fourth region team was at the beginning of 2020.
