Colo Colo Coach Ortiz Urges Patience on Reinforcements, Board 'Working Specifically'

Colo Colo's technical director, Fernando Ortiz, has urged patience regarding the team's search for new players, asserting that the club's management is diligently working on reinforcements. As the team travels to Colombia for their mid-season training, the absence of new signings has been a focal point. Ortiz, however, aims to quell concerns, stating that the board is undertaking "very specific work" to strengthen the squad.

"The board and the president are working on what we discussed weeks ago," Ortiz said before boarding the plane. "As I said, saying too much harms negotiations. I am calm; they are doing exceptional work. We need to be patient." He acknowledged that the club's stature can inflate player prices but trusts the process led by Jaime Pizarro, Daniel Morón, and Aníbal Mosa.

The transfer window, which opened ten days ago, will remain open until mid-August. Ortiz highlighted the complexities of negotiating for a major club like Colo Colo, noting that player valuations increase significantly. Despite the slow pace of acquisitions, he remains confident in the board's efforts and the specific strategies being employed.

In parallel, Colo Colo will focus on their preseason preparations in Colombia. The team is scheduled to play a friendly match against Millonarios on Saturday, July 18th, at the El Campín Stadium in Bogotá. This period is crucial for refining tactics and team cohesion before returning to competitive play.

The transfer window opened ten days ago and ends in mid-August. Every time a club as big as Colo Colo intervenes, the player becomes even more expensive. Jaime Pizarro, Daniel Morón, and Aníbal Mosa are doing very specific work, and that gives me absolute peace of mind.
