William Amaral could not be on the line directing Nacional against Racing in the first leg of the Copa Libertadores round of 16, but he was giving instructions throughout the commitment through an intercom, which Diego Arias transmitted to his assistant Caio Mello and the players on the pitch.
Beyond this responsibility, Amaral was located in the box of the green team and in addition to carrying out his work, he lived the game as one more fan, sang with each goal, smiled with each good play by the purslane team and also suffered when Racing shortened the distance on the marker.
This way of vibrating with the game infected the fans, who turned to look at him, a situation that he took advantage of to make them sing, applaud and enjoy the purslane victory.
Every time the western sector grandstand went dark, he got up from his chair and with his hands asked for encouragement for his leaders, which generated a collective madness in that sector of the Atanasio Girardot stadium.
Amaral ended up happy with the 4-2 win, a result that adds to his good start to the season with the green club and also refreshes the way people looked at the previous coach, Paulo Autuori, since they criticized him for his passivity , quite the opposite of what Amaral is showing, which already generates sympathy in a large part of the fans.
Amaral began to gain that confidence from what the Antioquia team showed in the friendly duel against Millonarios, in the United States, a performance that left a good taste in the mouth, despite the defeat by the slightest difference. The club’s top shareholder, Antonio José Ardila, was even present at that match.
During that match in Miami, Amaral was seen to be very active giving instructions from the line, living the game intensely. While in the idea of the game a team with more men in attack, more courageous, was observed.
In Nacional they say that Amaral perfectly suited the profile of the coach they were looking for: a leader who works as a team, who empowers the people around him, has group management and who will continue to give the quarry a chance. In addition, they consider him a serious coach, who adapts to institutional policies and guidelines and who is committed to building the future with the club.
It is worth remembering that in his career he was assistant to Juan Veiga at Racing de Ferrol in Spain (2005), he also accompanied Fabiano Soares at Sociedad Deportiva Compostela (2010). As well as a world champion, the French Didier Deschamps at Olympique de Marseille (2011-2012).
Before arriving at the green club, he was at RM Hamm Benfica in Luxembourg (2012-2014), a period in which he accompanied three coaches: Carlo Weis, Rui Vieira and Paulo Gomes.
As main coach, he has directed SC Valenciano de Portugal in 2004, Vilaverdense in 2012, as well as Mons Calpe and Lincoln Red Imps from Gibraltar.
For now, despite the defeat in the friendly against Millonarios, in the team’s official duels this semester, Amaral has three wins and a draw. In addition, the version that this Nacional shows is that of a team that wants to have more men in attack, more vertical and with players with a good footing as Maximiliano Cantyera and Eric Ramírez demonstrated, the minutes they were against Racing.
But beyond generating a way of playing that seduces his fans, his personality is already doing it, he always appears with a smile, his passion is evident when he talks about his work and what he did in the stands during the game against to the Argentines, they make him break the ice with the fans that today are sympathizing with his way of being.
