Canales Focuses on Tournaments After Copa de la Liga Exit: 'All the Second Half Remains'

Alfred Canales, a midfielder for Universidad Católica, has labeled the team's exit from the Copa de la Liga as a "failure." He emphasized the squad's obligation to contend for all remaining titles in the upcoming second half of the season.

“

We have to be fighting for all the tournaments.

"We have to be fighting for all the tournaments," Canales stated in a press conference. He reflected on the team's performance, suggesting a lapse in focus rather than outright relaxation. "It was on us that I don't know if we relaxed, I don't think that's the word, but we should have won all the games. Things didn't go our way, but well, now we have three championships left and we're going for all of them," he added.

Canales also shared his personal satisfaction with his recent performance, particularly playing a full 90 minutes and scoring a goal. "Super happy to contribute again, to play 90 minutes. I haven't been playing for a while. And for the goal too, I had been looking for it. I've been playing a little, but I've trained during the week, I knew this moment would come," he commented.

Looking ahead, Canales remains optimistic about the league title race, asserting it is far from decided. "The whole second semester is still left. Now we have a championship game against U de Conce, we have to win it. There's still a lot of championship left. We know that if we keep winning...", he trailed off, highlighting the team's determination to focus on immediate results.
