Deportivo Cali and Santa Fe will play this Monday (8:00 pm) at the Palmaseca stadium another of the games that promise good football at the close of the 15th date of the 2020 BetPlay League.
Fifth with 24 points, 3 behind their rival on duty, the Verdiblancos team aims for a victory that will bring them closer to the primary objective, which is to secure themselves among the eight.
While it is true that it has been characterized as a team that proposes offensive play on all courts, especially in the early stages, it must achieve balance, be more concentrated during the 90 minutes, avoid so many yellow and red cards, as well as solve the good amount of options that it produces in each commitment.
Last date he was surprised in the second half by the reaction of one of the coleros, Boyacá Chicó, despite the fact that ahead he had scored three goals, but Alfredo Arias knows that against opponents like Santa Fe it is at a different price and any mistake could be very expensive.
In the rotation that there has been with the central defender who accompanies Hernán Lessse, for what Santa Fe presents up, Richard Renteria could go, although there are also Eduard Caicedo and the youthful Kevin Moreno.
Against the Boyacenses, the Uruguayan coach came out, for the first time, in the championship, with a single brand midfielder, to include Andrés Arroyo and have greater accompaniment in the attack generation with Agustín Palavecino, Deiber Caicedo and Jhon Vásquez, but Arroyo was summoned to the Colombia Under 20 National Team, which by rule would give Palavecino a place.
If you decide on the other extreme and continue with a recuperator, Kevin Velasco is ready after overcoming his covid-19 episode, otherwise, two of the following containment men could appear: Jhojan Valencia, Andrés Colorado, Andrés Balanta or Juan Daniel Roa.
With a similar module, the ‘cardinal’ box has one of the most talented midfielders in national football, so it cannot be given advantages to handle the ball.
The one who remains in debt in the attacking part is Angelo Rodríguez, but he has the confidence of the coaching staff that at any moment he will find his way to the goal.
For his part, Palavecino accumulated his fifth yellow card, but Arias confirmed that he will use it, taking advantage of the rule of the Sub 20 called, Andrés Arroyo. “We have the possibility of making use of the option in the case of Andrés Arroyo and we will surely do so, it is a very important game, like everyone else, but this is special because we are in the final stretch of achieving things and Palavecino has been the main player in our team, I’m almost sure it will. “
About Santa Fe he said that “it is a team that shows in the numbers not only now but in the history that it fights championships and that when it goes to the finals it wins them, it is what I see, a team that has experienced players, with a good time working They have an advantage in that, players with good ball treatment, and a technician who has been working for a long time, his technician I know that he arrived at a difficult moment and raised them to such a level that they started the year very well and that makes his players believe him . They are very tactical and orderly, they are practically already classified, a team that is going to demand a lot from us and on our field they play very well when visiting. Having said all this, we are going to play like everyone else, play to win, and that they can’t do all that I said, that’s how I feel about soccer, and that’s how the people of Deportivo Cali want it ”.
Regarding how to avoid the transitions in Santa Fe, which can be similar to what Equidad did a few days ago in Palmaseca to complicate Cali, Arias pointed out that “it has things similar to what Equidad proposed to us, but I think this team comes out more, He is going to demand that we be very attentive in defense, he has football and players who arrive like Sambueza, Velásquez, Osorio, Ramos, on the one hand Arboleda arrives, on the other Herrera. One important thing is that they have 11 goals from still ball, as they tell me that historically they have done a fingerprint, you have to be very attentive, in even games the still ball can unbalance and we have to try to take advantage of the ones we have. I respect all rivals, but this is one of the strengths we have now, we have to be competitive and impose our game.
Of what they cannot repeat what was seen against Boyacá Chicó, he stated that “the other day was one of the games in which I came out the most upset, but surely also because of good fault, one always wants everything to go better, if they told us that We were going to win 3-1 before the game, I would have signed him anywhere, but since the game happened, I feel that we played really well 25 minutes, then because of different things that happened, many fouls, many of our players who were injured, the stoppage due to hydration, the goal, led us not to play well. Also when I got home, I was aware that we had traveled a long way, that we had played 7 games in 30 days and I think my reaction was exaggerated, if the result is achieved, it will be easier to correct ”.
