Deportivo Cali plays its last card to prevent the 2020 season from ending in the middle of the greatest disappointment of the last few: It receives Millonarios this Tuesday (6:30 pm) at its Palmaseca stadium, in the playoff for the last ticket from Colombia to the South American Cup next year.
That’s what there is, after being left out in the second round of the BetPlay Cup, the quarterfinals in the League and the eighths in the 2020 South American Cup.
Unfortunately, the recent news delivered by the Medical Department was not the best, since two players and two members of the coaching staff, including coach Alfredo Arias, tested positive for covid-19 and were isolated from the rest of the squad, so the assistant Ítalo Cervino will be the one who directs the ‘sugar producers’ in front of the Albiazul cast.
As is known, goalkeeper David González decided to end his professional career and after the elimination in the South American Cup he fired, so the starter will be Johans Wallens. Four other players who were not starters also came out.
Although there was no contact with the media in the latter part of the year, it is believed that Cali will use the group that had good presentations in game creation, but lacked efficiency in attack and stability in the posterior sector.
In Agustín Palavecino, Jhon Vásquez, Kevin Velasco and Ángelo Rodríguez the hopes of imbalance are placed to achieve a victory over Millonarios in this unique commitment for the South American quota.
One who will not continue is Andrés Colorado, who must return to Cortuluá awaiting an international offer. Anderlecht observers from Belgium will be attentive to your movements in this match to decide whether to take you to European territory.
The new faces of Cali for the 2021 season are Uruguayan Guillermo De Amores and forwards Michell Ramos and Marcos Pérez, while the club reached an agreement with Alianza Petrolera to buy the remaining 50% of the federative rights of Cartagena winger Jhon Vásquez .
