Undoubtedly, Colo Colo It has one of the best youth soccer teams in Chile and regularly produces many talents that shine in various National Championship teams. Many are sent to other clubs to succeed, while others are lucky to reach the first team with the same team. However, others suffer greatly from the lack of minutes and look everywhere for an alternative.
In recent years, among all the club’s projections, Carlo Villanueva stands out, whom they describe as the future star of Albo. However, he had to suffer injuries that delayed his process and lost his regularity until he missed the last seven months at the club. Because of this he migrated to Huachipato, but his luck did not change and the fashion remained the same where he lived. Colo Colo.
In the first three games of the Steelers of the year, he was not part of the delegation, but he was in the fourth and his debut took place on March 3 against Palestino, where he played 15 minutes. On the following date, he scored just one against Curicó Unidos and two weekends later he had another quarter of an hour against Cacique. It was there that he began to understand that things were not so different when he changed scenery.
He missed the next two games and on April 22, against Unión La Calera, he played for the last time when he barely played five minutes. Villanueva’s concern is that the coach no longer considers him and almost three months have passed without any activity. Although he occasionally appeared on the bench, it was clear that the 24-year-old midfielder had lost hope of playing any time soon.
“I really shouldn’t have”
The one who is very worried is his trainer, Luis Pérez Franco, who never thought that at this time of the year he will only have 36 minutes on the court. He recently chatted with “AS Chile” and stated that it is not a good idea to change clubs: “He is very professional, he trains well and has a lot of technical quality. He has a lot of conditions, but in Colo Colo “They gave him a few minutes.”
It should be noted that this player was appointed as the new Jorge Valdivia and that is what Franco remembers: “He has things from Mago, from (Carlos) Palacios and there are some players like that in Chile. Important so they can rescue him. Maybe we should talk to him or get him a psychologist so that he can go back to his former state.
