There are five dates of the BetPlay I-2021 League, Deportivo Cali is the leader of the championship with 13 points out of 15 possible, but the conclusion at the end of the games played is that it does not specify in the opposite goal or even half of it produces.
This Sunday the great figure of the match against Boyacá Chicó was goalkeeper Carlos Mosquera, who saved his team in several actions, but in others the lack of effectiveness was evidenced through Marco Pérez, Ángelo Rodríguez and Jhon Vásquez, despite the fact that he The latter scored the only goal of the match.
Alfredo Arias, Verdiblanco helmsman, gave his points of view at the press conference, acknowledging that a good number of opportunities were wasted. On why he used the long pass, with changes of orientation, he said that “we had to visit a field that everyone in Colombia fears, because it is not easy to come to a height that those of us there are not used to and that the field also conspires In order to play from the bottom, they also conspire against Patriotas, against Boyacá Chicó, it is not that they conspire only against us, but I speak for my team, we had to implement, open the ends well, they are a team that works well, compact, short , then we always began to find the weak side, and I think that was what allowed us to score the goal and have other chances, the truth is that the rival sold his defeat very dearly, he played a very good game and that enhances our triumph ”.
As for what he considers was the collective performance of his team, he argued that “we have to associate it with the previous game, we came to play almost three days later with trips included and we scored 6 out of 6 points, I’m not Colombian, I don’t know the statistics, but I don’t think it’s very easy to come in three days and win both games. The balance is very good, because of the result and because I have a brave team that goes out to win, to look for the first goal, and then we made merits for a second goal, but we did not specify them, that lack of efficiency played us again in against and we ended up defending against the rival, who also did very well ”.
On whether the offensive part was due, he pointed out that “I think we played a good game, associating it with the previous one, with very little rest and a lot of travel in between, I am satisfied with my players, if we fail situations it is because we created them, if not It’s easy not to fail when you don’t believe, but we create several situations, well, we fail some of them, we convert one, we have the goal at zero in almost all games, except one. The balance for me is good, of course there is always something to correct and in the week we will discuss it with the team, but it is really very good ”.
Although there are only five dates in the League, the club maintains the same lack of scoring efficiency from last year compared to the opportunities it generates. Regarding whether he has analyzed the possibility of bringing Sergio ‘Checho’ Angulo, a technician in the Under 19 category, closer to the coaching staff to work with his forwards, Arias pointed out that “the truth is that I have not thought about him.”
For his part, young forward Michel Ramos, who entered the second half, said that “the result is fair, we were superior, we knew how to manage the times on a pitch, but the important thing is that we take it forward and add three points.”
