After confirming in the quarterfinals with the three points won on the desk over Cúcuta Deportivo, this Sunday (6:00 pm) America de Cali’s slogan is to add 36 units and finish above Cali or Pasto as one of the best four classified to be seeded for the draw of the ‘playoffs’ of the BetPlay League on the holiday Monday.
The match at Pascual Guerrero will begin at 6:00 pm, simultaneously with those defined by the two remaining qualifiers. In the squad there is the conviction that they must win, although it presents important losses due to medical situations and decisions of the coaching staff.
Regarding the starting line-up, goalkeeper Éder Chaux was negative in the second PCR test and will start, after Joel Graterol was called to the Venezuelan National Team. Jeison Pinillo had worked in the week, but the club was awaiting the result of Chaux.
The club’s sports manager, William Zapata, had told FUTBOLRED last Thursday that they hoped that the new sample they made to Chaux would give negative to confirm his presence before the ‘insurance’ box.
At the same time, there are several doubts, especially in defense and midfield, where Kevin Andrade could be for Marlon Torres, while Carlos José Sierra would return to the trio of flyers alongside Rafael Carrascal and Felipe Jaramillo, in the absence of Luis Alejandro Paz.
On whether he will rotate his payroll, for the four yellow cards of Torres, Segovia and Paz, coach Juan Cruz pointed out that “we have reached a situation where we have with the accumulation of games players who have four cautions, something that we have to consider face to what comes, we know that they are risks that are running as the games go by. Knowing that we have a squad that regardless of this situation, if the three of us have to play, we have to think that on Sunday we want to win to finish at the top of the standings and from then on, look at the issue of reprimands how we continue, you have to play thinking about competing to the maximum ”.
As for whether he will present his main team to Equidad, especially for what that result represents, not only for a better scarlet position in the contest, but for rivals that are pending such as Águilas Doradas, Millonarios and Once Caldas, Cruz Real repeated: “We will finish defining the payroll this Sunday, I do not like to say I go with everything, for me all the players we have, even the youngest, are important, we have shown it because we have played important games, we will try to find the best eleven within of situations that we have to analyze, if we decide to give some players rest or not ”.
Of the rival this Sunday he expressed: “It is a difficult team, which in addition to being complicated reaches an instance in which the classification is played and we play ourselves to continue climbing in the position table, we want to win to finish well the all against all . From there, knowing the complexity of the game, Equidad is a very organized team, it has a lot of work to defend in a low block, it has players with a route and who can generate goal options in attack, we must take into account all these situations and how we always do, work to neutralize the strengths and rival and exploit the weaknesses ”.
He also referred to the starting goalkeeper for the match, Jeison Pinillo: “if he is within the squad it is because we know that he can be there, if he is going to play it is because we consider that it is the best solution we have today to represent a goal as important as that of America and he has the capabilities to do it. Here in America de Cali they have let me work with absolute tranquility and the young people have responded, we put them out of conviction and because it is something that we have raised since our arrival at the club ”.
