after a bitter first semester in which he remained ad-portas not only of the local tournament final but also of the classification in Copa Sudamericana, Junior from Barranquilla advances its preseason with a single slogan in mind: the title.
In this order of ideas, the balance of the template becomes pertinent to evaluate which were the good, regular and bad points. The idea of course is to keep the good, except for the imminent departure of Miguel Angel Borgiaand enhance the bad with important signings.
In this order of ideas, ‘El Heraldo’, a well-known Barranquilla outlet, published the performance analysis of each rojiblanco player during this first part of 2022. The ratings were spot on.
With a rating from 1 to 10, the highest went to Danny Rosero (8)followed by the revelation Carlos Esparragosa and Jorge Ariasboth with 7. Likewise to referents such as the aforementioned Borja (6.5), Sebastian Viera (6), ‘Cariaco’ Gonzalez (6), Gabriel Fuentes (5.5) y Didier Moreno (5) they were quite regular.
Regarding the signings for the first semester, the average is low. Of the seven new faces, only Borja and Arias had a rating above 6. Nilson Castrillon got a 3, Omar Albornoz and 5, Yesus Cabrera and 5.5, Daniel Giraldo same and Fernando Uribe and 4.
Precisely about the two ex-Millionaires, who arrived with the entire cartel to appear in Bogotá, the aforementioned media pointed out Giraldo for his intermittence and Uribe for disappointing.
“It was difficult for him to get into the team, he managed to earn the position, but then he showed high and low peaks of performance”, was the comment for the 29-year-old midfielder, after playing 30 games and scoring two goals.
“It generated many expectations, but it was due. He spent it injured, and when he played, he didn’t show his goalscoring talent”, was said about the 34-year-old attacker, after playing 17 games and celebrating just four times.
The worst qualified, with a score of 3, were Castrillón, German Mere (he left the club in the middle of the season), Edwin Velasco, Edwuin Cetre y John Pajoy.
