América de Cali leaves a great concern in the run-up to the round of 16 of the BetPlay Cup and the quarterfinals of the 2020 League. Its coach, Juan Cruz Real, appeared at a press conference to try to explain the terrible presentation in the 1-2 loss to Equidad at Pascual Guerrero.
Regarding the reason why the local strength has been lost, falling in two consecutive games, he said: “Undoubtedly we wanted to end up winning at home because it gave us the possibility of adding in the table and it gives me the feeling that it was a game until minute 31 of the first half where they scored a goal at minute 17, but it was Equidad’s only play, a shot from medium distance. The team from the game itself was doing well, it was creating goal situations, it was dominating the game ”.
As for what the expulsion of Rafael Carrascal meant, he said that “in today’s football, having ten is difficult for any team, the boys surrendered, they ran, but the team worked from one player less decreases, we have to review some situations that are happening to us, it seems that the small errors we have penalize them easily.
However, he considers that “the first 30 minutes the team did a lot of offensive things that we had to do to defeat the rival, we had control of the game, there are details that are penalizing us, then when we are left with one less the performance changes, today in day is a great advantage, there are always things to correct.
Analyzing the future, he maintained that “it is time to think about what was done, we are classified, which is the important thing, we undoubtedly have to review some things to correct and think about what is coming, because we are risking important things. Nobody likes to lose, we are already classified, it was the number one objective and now we have to think about preparing well for the opponent that touches us, correct what we must correct, think about what is coming. The team while it was eleven against eleven played well ”.
On the absences for the home game in the quarterfinals: “the ideal is always to have everyone, we knew that Segovia had four yellow cards and there was the possibility that they would take another one today, but we have more players who can also give us a good performance and that the collective game is important ”.
