An unexpected elimination suffered tonight UC in the South American Cup, at the hands of a Login Sarsfield that came to San Carlos de Apoquindo empty-handed, and ended up taking the entire loot away.
It was 3-1 in favor of the Argentines, and the crusaders ended their participation in the international concert, remaining for now only the local tournament, which is not minor, as “The Strip” is looking for a historic three-time championship.
“Beyond the sadness and pain we have to lose the illusion of continuing to grow and advance in the cup, at the beginning of the year, before starting the Libertadores, I said that something that generated controversy, about not wanting to participate, but to compete, and the team was very competitive at the international level “, started saying Ariel Holan, crusader technician at a press conference.
Despite the painful defeat, the Argentine coach was optimistic for the future: “You can compete outside, you can be up to the task. Today we lost, to a great team, that on balance he was better than us, but he leaves us many lessons in the face of everything that lies ahead “.
What was extra about the Holan team was the presence of Fernando Zampedri, Top scorer for “The Strip” this season. Diego ValenciaDespite his desire, he was not even close to being able to supply it in a good way.
“The importance of Zampedri within the team cannot be ignored, but it would be unfair not to recognize Diego’s effort today. He is a youthful boy, who is making his first weapons at an international level, and I feel that he delivered. Fernando will be available from the 20th of this month, “he revealed.
The crusaders must now take their bullets in the National Championship, and against a rival who could motivate them: Colo Colo, again in San Carlos de Apoquindo, in what will be an opportunity to give the “Cacique” a coup de grace that complicates even more with the descent, Saturday at 6:00 p.m.
