Not new, Alfredo Arias feels uncomfortable in press conferences when asked about the aspects that remain uncorrected at Esportiu Cali, which, despite producing the largest number of goal actions, ended this Thursday with a 1-1 against Medellín in the Atanasio Girardot.
Clearly there is a lack of effectiveness to define, and it is not a new issue, the same happened in last year’s campaign, eliminated from almost all competitions, only this time the leadership and the unbeaten make for many are details that go unnoticed.
Once he concluded the commitment he was asked if Cali was superior, why suffer with the changes made him ‘Bolillo’ Gómez in the DIM: “One from the inside sees it hotter, the analyzes must always be done in the cold, Medellin had come to attack us much more because he was losing, it is his house, his field, they came to the table under ours, the normal thing was this, that he came to us in the last minutes, I think another once we pay for the bad end of plays that we created a lot, in the first and second half we finished them well, for nerves, for commitment, we have to keep working, training this, because it is very important, merit also of the rival that we were ahead, he didn’t give up, he has good players and an excellent coaching staff, he will be again “.
Why do you lose control of the ball? “I don’t think we lost control of the game, I don’t think we defined well, the last pass, we started to fail, and it was logical for Medellín to come and attack us. The numbers don’t lie, subjectively it can stay in the retina that Medellín attacked us in the last minutes until he converted the goal, but the numbers do not lie, we prevailed in the game, possession, shots on goal, chances created.The team played a great game, I want Congratulations to my players, stand on this court in front of a rival like this, play to win, have the ball as we had it, attack the whole game, cause the opponent to make all five changes at 20 minutes of the second half is not easy and my players did it. We have to correct the finish to be happier, we are among the goal, which in this championship is to be among the eight, we will continue ahead, on Sunday we will play again ” .
As for the added point, which fell more like a defeat, with 9 minutes to go before the end of the match, he explained that “as the match went on, we are not happy, I went to the locker room and my players were all in the locker room with their heads bowed, this shows that we wanted to win, we did the merit to win, but there was a team at the front, good players, very good coaching staff, we just couldn’t, but the team went I’m going to say something that I hope will reach the Cali fan, I think the fan is happy, first, undefeated, he goes out to play to win, to be the protagonist of the matches, but sometimes he doesn’t yes, you can’t.Those who ask the questions are not Cali’s followers, it is noticed.Cali’s follower is happy, I address them when I come to a press conference, to the Cali’s follower Cali. The others will do it. “
Cali will host Santa Fe on Sunday, February 28 (08:10 pm), in the most striking match of the tenth date of the League, as they face the former against one of the latter, 4 points apart.
