Gago Cautious After Victory: 'Many Things to Improve'

Fernando Gago, coach of Universidad de Chile, urged caution despite his team's 2-0 win against O'Higgins in a rescheduled Liga de Primera match at the Estadio Nacional. Gago stressed that the team must improve in many areas, irrespective of the outcome.

“

There are many things that need improvement, regardless of the result. I don't base improvement on the result itself. Yes, we need to win matches to aspire to where we want to be, and for that, we will work.

When questioned about potential reinforcements for the second half of the season, Gago indicated that the club understands its objectives. "We understand where we want to aim and where we want to arrive as a team, and what the institution also needs. Based on that, we will work to find the best possible team through new signings," he added.

Gago also commented on the crucial role of the fans and their influence on the players. "We need them to always support the footballers on the field, and also to give them hope; because I believe that's what the fans live for, and the result," he said. He further discussed integrating younger players into the squad, stating, "I really like working with and developing the young players because I believe the club also needs it. That youthfulness and that rebelliousness or unconsciousness of age is also important for the team, but I will always keep saying the same thing: the young players will go through a development process. We must not confuse them."
