Tijuana forward Fabián Castillo said on Tuesday that the Colombian team will meet with coach Reinaldo Rueda again with the
football that led her to play the World Cups in Brazil 2014 and Russia 2018.
“With the new coach, the team will gradually find the football that it qualified for two World Cups and it will rediscover that dynamic and fluid football that we lost in the final qualifying rounds,” said the former Deportivo Cali and Dallas player.
Rueda’s return to the bench of the Colombian senior team was announced on January 14, shortly after he resigned from the Chilean team, and following the resignation of Portuguese Carlos Queiroz.
Queiroz’s departure was accelerated by two defeats Colombia suffered in the qualifying rounds of the World Cup in Qatar, first against Uruguay 0-3 in Barranquilla and days later 6-1 against Ecuador in Quito. Fabián Castillo, who played for the U-17 and U-19 teams between 2009 and 2011, said he was confident that Rueda’s return would not only improve his country’s position in the South American qualifiers, the seventh of the ten participants, but he too can dream of a vocation, if he stands out in Tijuana.
“Of course, that ensures that I maintain the illusion of thinking that the opportunity is there and therefore I have to surrender and improve with my team every day, because the illusion of a call remains,” the attacker emphasized.
Castillo scored his first goal in the current Mexican Clausura tournament on the sixth date, helping Tijuana beat León. “The goal fills me with confidence, because I wanted to do it for a long time, it didn’t happen, even though I had chances. Fortunately it has already happened and I am very happy because only with that confidence will I be there. able to make that dream come true. ”
Tijuana is third with 12 points and remains unbeaten with three wins and three draws. “So far we have been doing well and that gives us the confidence to continue offering our football, not hiding in a stadium and going out to make proposals without fear of losing the unbeaten. “admitted the Colombian.
On the seventh day, Tijuana will visit Tigres next Sunday. “We want to give a punch with authority to Tigres, who I think is one of the toughest rivals to face in the League,” said the player born 28 years ago in Cali.
