It’s not new, Alfredo Arias feels uncomfortable at press conferences when asked about the aspects Deportivo Cali has not corrected, which, despite producing the highest number of goals, ended this Thursday with a 1-1 against Medellín at the Atanasio Girardot.
Obviously there is a lack of efficiency to define, and it is not a new problem, the same thing happened in last year’s campaign, eliminated from almost all competitions, but this time the leadership and undefeated make it detail for many are that go unnoticed.
Once the alliance was made, he was asked if Cali was superior, why he suffered from the changes, did ‘Bolillo’ Gómez in the DIM: “Inside it sees warmer, the analyzes must always be cold, Medellín must come much more to attack us because he was losing it’s his house his field they got in the table below us that was normal he came to us in the last minutes I think we paid again for the bad completion of plays that we have made a lot, in the first and second half that we finished them well, because of nerves, because of hurry, we have to keep working, training that, because it is very important, also the merit of the He did not give up rival we had in front, he has good players and excellent body technique, it will be again ”.
Why is control of the ball lost? “I don’t think we lost control of the game, I think we didn’t define well, the last pass, we started to fail, and it was only natural that Medellín would come and attack us. The numbers don’t lie, subjectively it can remain in the retina that Medellín attacked us in the last minutes until he scored the goal, but the numbers don’t lie, we had the upper hand in the game, the possession, the shots on goal, the odds were great. made. The team played a great game, I want to congratulate my players, stand on this field against a rival like this. Playing to win, having the ball as we had it, attacking it all match, forcing the rival to make the five changes after 20 minutes of the second half is not easy and my players did. We have to correct the finish to be happier, we belong to the target, which is in the eighth place in this championship, we will continue, we will play again on Sunday ”.
As for the added point, which was more like a defeat, with 9 minutes to go to the end of the game, he explained that “while the game was going on, we were not happy, I went to the dressing room and my players were all in the locker room with their heads gacha, that shows we wanted to win, we did the honor of winning, but there was a team up front, good players, very good technical staff, we just couldn’t, but the team good played. I’m going to say something that I hope reaches the Cali fan, I think the fan is happy, first, undefeated, they are going to play to win, to be the protagonist of the games, but sometimes it doesn’t happen, you can not. Those asking the questions aren’t Cali fans, it turns out. The Cali fan is happy, I speak to them when I come to a press conference, the Cali fan. The others, there they ”.
Cali will host Santa Fe on Sunday, February 28 (8:10 pm), in the most striking bet of the League’s tenth round, when the first is measured against one of the second, with a 4-point distance.
