The technician Rafael Dudamel The important duel between the University of Chile and Spanish Union, key in the fight for permanence and also for qualifying for international cups.
At a press conference, the Venezuelan addressed the change of mind that the U squad has had after the victory against Coquimbo. Also about its continuity. “We coaches are permanently evaluated. These three games are final and afterwards we will sit down with the leaders on what has been achieved. When they raised the possibility of reaching the U, there were many lines of work that were well marked. Now we bet on winning, “commented the coach.
The present of its players
A few days ago the steering wheel injury was confirmed Pablo Aránguiz, who will be off the court. The coach of the Blues talked about this, the situation of Reginald gentle and the present that lives Angelo Henríquez.
Pablo Aránguiz and his injury: We had the expectation according to what was communicated by the medical group that it could be in the last two dates. However, the discomfort persisted and in the decision of the doctors to save time, it is that the best thing to go through the operating room as soon as possible thinking about the next tournament.
Lenis situation: It is evolving well. From the first moment when he was injured, the doctors according to the report spoke of three weeks, but he is already doing physical work in the field. Today I do not want to have any illusions of being able to plan with him thinking about the last game, but seeing him as he works can generate some expectations.
The present of Angelo Henriquez: He has lived through difficult situations in the club that was formed and has a unique sense of belonging. When he has had to be in positions in which he was not hired, he has had a total disposition. Even so, he was highly questioned and that produced a greater challenge for him to overcome. Seeing a player like Angelo who is still receiving criticism, being on the bench or playing in positions that are not his nature, and seeing him as he trains is worthy of admiration.
Dudamel’s change with the squad
The deal with the campus: “Initially, without neglecting the human, we put a lot of emphasis on the football part, and it turns out that your players need more personal attention. We have strengthened that communication that at no time has been broken or broken. There was simply a void that we have addressed ”.
Game adaptation: “I believe that since we arrived we have adapted to the players who are. We have completely adapted to the names we have had since arrival. It is not the time to be looking for another element that we can add and we do not want to change anything at all, yes on how to reach substitutions in some absences “.
Psychological work with players: “The fiber of the player must be touched daily. It is part of our task and beyond a duty, it is something with which I identify and get involved. Ultimately the player needs to have security at its highest level, and the Coach as a parent must generate that tranquility and security from the voices of confirmation and approval. “
Change of mindset in training: “From our management I have always sought to give tranquility to the staff to develop the work. The victory against Coquimbo and other results that have occurred in the tournament lighten that burden, but at no time can it be relaxed. Of course, that emotional charge, taking into account the results that have been given, allows us to know that we depend on ourselves ”.
