América de Cali was defeated by the minimum difference 1-0 against Deportes Tolima for date 13 of the I-2022 League, at the Manuel Murillo Toro Stadium in Ibagué. The scarlet square did not have its best presentation and added its third fall in line. Coach Juan Carlos Osorio he analyzed the party of his leaders.
“In the first half we suffered a bit from the fast transitions of the rival, in the second half according to what was raised, the team had perhaps one of the best second times. Before the game I mentioned that we were facing the most successful sports project in recent years”.
He highlighted the work of his colleague Hernán Torres: “we face one of the best technical directors in Colombia, Hernán TorresI know him very well, I had the possibility-opportunity to be with him in the Colombian National Team at some point, he standing out, I don’t and I think that today the difference was made in transitions from defense to attack, because I think that with central midfielders like Brayan, at no time did they complete 10 passes in our field”.
He also highlighted his managers: “I feel immense pride for my players, because playing with a defense of three where Brayan Medina completes his third game as a professional and Eber Moreno is his 10th game in the first division, they behaved very well in the second halfwe always found the free man to be identified before that first defensive cast of them and from then on when we played with two intentions the team was superior in the game”.
He then added: “unfortunately we were not able to specify the options we had, but I think the second half was a great example, for our players that he can play starting and going, finding and setting, compensating and identifying the possessors and potential receivers.so the team in the second half was much superior to the rival”.
Finally, he sent a special message to the fans and opened the exit door: “The fan must be told the truth, on my part while I’m here I will give my 100% and the day those who make decisions here consider otherwise, I am ready to leave America, because the most important thing is that the team qualifies and it will be a decision from other persons. As long as I’m here, I’ll be working and trying to get the team to play like they did in the second half and the day I’m not there, force it, so that it goes very well, so that it can qualify for the finalists”.
