The pain of his absence is not only experienced at Deportivo Cali, now his current team misses him like no one else at the start of the Mexican league.
The Argentine Favio Alvarez, Pumas midfielder, acknowledged on Thursday that the cats have no strength because they miss the goals of his compatriot Juan Ignacio Dinenno, injured.
“They are decisive players in the area, they proved it last tournament, Carlos (González, Paraguayan) is no more and Juan was unlucky to get injured and hopefully he will be back soon because we need him, we miss him” , accepted the midfielder.
For the 2021 Clausura, the Pumas lost to the Paraguayan González, a striker who scored 28 goals for Pumas between 2018 and 2020, and who signed with the UANL Tigers. The Argentine Dinenno, scorer of the cats in the Opening 2020 with 10 goals, suffered a muscle injury to his left thigh on the second day of the Closing 2021 and is still recovering.
For the above, Alvarez urged his teammates to improve their level to generate more offensive options; Pumas accumulates four games without scoring. “The performance of the team has to improve because we don’t create situations and anyone who plays again is not going to have options. After Mazatlán we didn’t score again, but I know we will improve, but we have to do it first individually.” , he said.
On the second day, Pumas beat Mazatlan 3-0, the only game they have scored; in the first they tied by 0-0 with Tijuana, in the third they fell by 2-0 before Querétaro, in the fourth they equalized without goals with Atlas and in the fifth they lost with Monterrey by 1-0.
“The responsibility is ours. The results we wanted have not been given, but we have to be calm because this is just beginning, we are almost the same as in the last tournament, we have injured players. We have to be full to reverse the bad time “.
