Rangers de Talca gears up for pivotal Primera B duel with Deportes Santa Cruz

Coach Ivo Basay said Rangers de Talca are in good physical condition but criticised the recent loss in Calama, noting the team’s own errors. He stressed that “the fewer mistakes we make and the better our physical condition, the more chances we have to compete effectively,” and urged mental strength for the upcoming match. Basay also hinted at a possible reinforcement, mentioning defender/midfielder Ivan Rozas, who has lost weight and is ready to join the squad.

Basay highlighted the importance of the game against Deportes Santa Cruz, noting the club’s promotion push and local support. He warned that Santa Cruz’s striker Diego Arias, who has scored 14 goals in 14 matches, is “very sweet” and a key threat, saying the team must find a way to counter his scoring prowess as they aim to narrow the six‑point gap in the Primera B table.
