Marco Antonio Figueroa: "If Cobreloa classifies, everyone better watch out"

SANTIAGO.- The city of Calama is filled with optimism today after a stellar start to the season. Hopes are high that the Cobreloa team will classify to the playoffs of the Clausura Chilean soccer tournament.

If they can make it through to the next phase, they will be a fear-inspiring team, given the squadron's home status and history in similar defining matches.

The person radiating the most amount of confidence is none other than the team's coach, Marco Antonio Figueroa, who has abundant faith in his men as they confront the next round of the tournament.

"If we make it through, they had better watch out for our team because I am very confident that we can defeat anyone", stated Figueroa.

With regards to the match scheduled for this weekend, where the team will face Audax Italiano, only the champion will be allowed to move on.

"Unfortunately, we are in the situation that we had avoided, to be fighting for qualification in the last match, but the results were as such and we are very aware that if Cobreloa had not recuperated the points as we have, we would have been in a very complicated situation for a long time", Figueroa told "El Mercurio de Calama".
