Colo Colo coach praises debutant goalkeeper Vozinha after cup win

Colo Colo's technical director, Fernando Ortiz, expressed satisfaction with goalkeeper Josimar Vozinha's debut following the team's Copa Chile victory over Unión Española.

“

I am going to highlight the team. Josimar did very well, more than the opponent and the game situation that perhaps was not so demanding. Tomorrow he will rest, recover and enter into a mini-competition with Gabriel (Maureira). Whoever I consider can be in a position to start, will start.

"Josimar did very well, beyond the opponent and the game situation which perhaps wasn't so demanding," Ortiz stated in the post-match conference. He added that Vozinha "was up to par with his teammates and his possibility of being in the Colo Colo goal." The coach indicated that Vozinha would rest and then compete with Gabriel Maureira for the starting position.

“

We are a team and the team has brought the game forward.

Ortiz reiterated the importance of teamwork in securing the win but continued to highlight Vozinha's correct performance. He noted that while the match didn't offer the highest level of challenge, it provided a solid platform for the debutant.

Josimar has done it correctly.

The coach also took the opportunity to reaffirm his policy of promoting young players. He mentioned that he had assured them from their first training session that standout performers in their age categories would be given a chance in the First Division. This approach, he explained, helps integrate them into the team's system more quickly.

He was up to par with his teammates and his possibility of being in the Colo Colo goal. That's all I can say.
