Colo Colo is looking for a way to increase the capacity of the Monumental stadium. Cristián Zavala spoke about it and assured that “there are other scenarios that can, even with a smaller capacity.”
colo colo remains in his fight to reach the title of the National Championship and this Sunday he will have one more game to get closer to the goal. From 6:15 p.m. the Cacique receives Deportes Antofagasta in a Monumental stadium that continues with reduced capacity.
Despite the efforts that the albos have made to convince the authorities to increase the number of public in the stadiums, they have not yet managed to change things. Although there were intentions to move forward on the issue, the increase in cases of coronavirus in the country makes the option ponder.
In Colo Colo they have complained that, even with the Monumental stadium in the open air, they continue to have prohibitions. In other instances, such as concerts, this limit does not exist and it is one of the main reasons why they ask for the capacity to be changed.
This Thursday at a press conference, Christian Zavala addressed the issue and made the club’s position clear. “Obviously we don’t like the way it’s going, our stadium is gigantic and the capacity should already increase. We are one step behind the rest of the world“.
Along the same lines, the winger stressed that “we like to play to a full stadium, there are other scenarios that can, even with a smaller capacity. It is time for us to increase the capacity, the stadium has room for 40,000 people and only 25% is allowed. Hopefully they’ll upload it later.”
Colo Colo knows that he will have a difficult key with Deportes Antofagasta
Colo Colo will take to the field this Sunday to face Deportes Antofagasta, which is complicated. The Pumas are fighting in the relegation zone and need to add three at all costs, which anticipates a complex game.
Cristián Zavala knows what it is like to be one of the colistas. With Deportes Melipilla he had to experience that and he understands how the CDA will reach the Monumental. “Last year we fought at the bottom and being there is ugly. All the rivals that come to play against Colo Colo want to win.”
Although beyond how complicated the match may be, the winger made it clear that he only wants to be on the pitch. “It will be interesting, that the game comes later because I already want to play it.”
Already thinking about the fight for the title, Cristián Zavala is clear. “We are living it day by day, the rival that comes we prepare it in the week and we train as we want to play. Everyone wants to be there, that makes the team look better, there is internal competition with which we all improve”
In fact, the winger is not clouded by the optimism that exists and focuses on continuing to rise to get the award at the end of the season. “We haven’t thought of anything, just the goal, which is one, but we’re going game by game,” he concluded.
