Estuvo cerca de Colo Colo y buscará dar la sorpresa con Cobreloa: “Queremos llegar a una Copa”

estuvo cerca de colo colo y buscará dar la sorpresa con cobreloa: “queremos llegar a una copa”

.

Jorge Espejo (23) es uno de los mejores valores de Cobreloa durante esta temporada. Ha jugado todos los partidos del Torneo Nacional como titular y se afianzó como el lateral derecho indiscutido en el conjunto dirigido por Emiliano Astorga.

Su gran rendimiento en este comienzo de campeonato no es casualidad, ya que desde los inicios de su carrera destacó por su juego y polifuncionalidad en la defensa, algo que despertó el interés de Colo Colo. Sin embargo, su llegada no se concretó y ahora, por la fecha 8 de la Primera División, deberá medirse ante el Cacique.

“Colo Colo es un equipo muy intenso y de mucha jerarquía. Nosotros confiamos en nuestro trabajo y en la idea del ‘profe’ Astorga. Eso es la base todo para este partido”, dijo Espejo en entrevista con AS.

– ¿Cómo se están preparando para el partido con Colo Colo?

– Sabemos que es un partido importante. Estamos trabajando de la misma forma, como todas las semanas cuando enfrentamos a diferentes rivales. Estamos enfocados en tratar de hacer las cosas bien y hacer un buen partido, ya que venimos de dos derrotas.

– Han hecho buenos partidos, pero los últimos resultados no han sido positivos, ¿a qué cree que se debe eso?

– Se han hecho buenos partidos y eso se ha visto reflejado en algunos resultados. Hemos ganado de local y de visita. Al principio nos costó un poco arrancar, ya que veníamos de una pretemporada con un grupo nuevo, conociéndonos. Eso ha sido bien importante. Ya hoy en día venimos con más partidos pese a que el campeonato está recién empezando. Estamos trabajando y todos remando para el mismo lado.

– ¿Cómo evalúa su rendimiento?

– Me he sentido muy bien, con la confianza del profe Astorga. La pasada por Everton fue muy positiva en mi crecimiento personal, tanto humano como futbolístico. Me ayudó mucho. Ahora hay que tratar de ir mejorando más cada semana y cada partido e ir buscando una regularidad, que eso es lo que más cuesta en el fútbol. Estoy contento con lo que he hecho hoy en día y estoy tranquilo por lo que he podido generar.

“Estuve sonando en Colo Colo y también en otros equipos”

– Su buen rendimiento años anteriores despertó el interés de Colo Colo, ¿Cómo se dio esa situación y qué importancia tuvo para usted?

– Estuve sonando en Colo Colo y también en otros equipos. Eso demuestra el trabajo y la dedicación que le he dado a esto. Trato siempre de mejorar, cada día y cada partido busco hacerlo de la mejor manera y dar mi mejor versión. El interés de Colo Colo y de otros equipos que me sondearon lo refleja.

– ¿Qué ha podido ver de Colo Colo esta temporada? ¿Qué le parece la rotación de jugadores que ha hecho Almirón?

– Colo Colo está jugando copa internacional, es un rival fuertísimo, pero nosotros confiamos en nuestra gente, en nuestro trabajo y el del ‘profe’. Nuestro arranque en el campeonato no ha sido malo, estamos todos ajustados en la tabla.

-¿Cuáles son los objetivos del club para esta temporada?

– La idea es estar en una copa internacional. También pelear el campeonato es uno de los objetivos principales. Eso lo podemos lograr con un buen trabajo.

– ¿Cuáles son sus objetivos a nivel personal?

– Estar ahí, aportándole al equipo. Estoy contento con lo que he hecho hasta el día de hoy. Me lo tomo con calma, es un proceso. No hay que volverse loco con el tema del rendimiento. Lo más importante es entregarle lo mejor al equipo y trabajar en mi mejor versión.
