In a very high presentation that had Juan Martin LuceroAs the protagonist, Colo Colo thrashed Real Betis 5-0 in Concepción and closed their participation in the international triangular match where River Plate was also present.

< strong>The Andalusians were outclassed on all lines and except for a shot from Nabil Fekir that hit the crossbar, they did not intimidate Omar Carabali. The performance of the Verdiblancos, in fact, was criticized by the Spanish press.

“Betis takes another sack against Colo Colo and records a 9-0 in two friendlies. Pellegrini’s team faced the Chilean champion, Colo Colo, and came away with a bag of goals behind them after once again giving many facilities in defense . As happened against River Plate (against whom they lost 4-0), the defense was marked by the numerous failures that occurred during the 90 minutes”, stated Marca.

Same apparently delivered AS. “Colo Colo undresses Betis. Another disappointment on their tour of South America. If a few days ago it was River Plate that exposed their shortcomings, this time Colo Colo was the team that disarmed the Verdiblancos until another oblivion rout. Two defeats in two duels. Perhaps it is not what Pellegrini expected of his team on this trip that became a preseason “, he said.

Sports Stadium , a portal that covers the day-to-day of the béticos, delivered a more critical position. “It is difficult to rescue something positive from the new Verdiblanco shipwreck on a pioneering tour that, after all, it is better not to repeat it again. Manuel Pellegrini is not used to negative criticism, because the truth is that < strong>he is embroidering it  in the two years or so that he has been in charge of the verdiblancos, but his decisions on this tour of South America, surely shoehornedwhen the squad was already cherishing the holidays and the sofa to watch the World Cup, they are questionable,” he said.

Finally The Uncheck em> continued with the questions about the poor level of the cast that is fifth in La Liga: “Perhaps solid conclusions cannot be drawn either… but something is clear in these first two gigs by Real Betis in South America: unit B does not work . It is superfluous. He neither contributes nor threatens to improve. And we are not talking about homegrown players here. With a depleted squad, hit by injuries and that continues to accumulate fatigue in the legs. Far from making a mark, it tarnished its prestige. Not to be defeatist… Was it really worth it?“, he closed.
