Ortiz and the transfer market: I don't want to stray from tomorrow's focus against Everton

Colo Colo coach Fernando Ortiz is firmly focused on his team's upcoming match against Everton, pushing aside the noise surrounding the transfer market. Ortiz stressed the importance of concentrating on the immediate challenge, especially given the potentially difficult playing conditions.

"Tomorrow we have an important commitment, where we do not deviate from the focus that means facing a great rival on a difficult pitch, with a field condition that perhaps is not adequate, but we will go to stand firm as we always do on every pitch we go to and try to get a positive result," Ortiz said in a press conference.

He acknowledged Everton as a strong opponent, noting their recent performance and dangerous players. "Obviously we respect the rival of the day, like Everton. They played a good game previously against Calera. They have players who can unbalance from midfield forward, and we will go out to propose and try to get a good result as we always do. I am not going to change the system," the coach added.

Ortiz's comments underscore a 'game-by-game' mentality, aiming to maintain team discipline and focus amidst external pressures and the complexities of player recruitment during the transfer window. The team's strategy remains consistent as they prepare to face Everton.
