“There is no evil that lasts 100 years or a body that resists it.” After 6 months of inactivity, June and América de Cali will get the ball rolling this Tuesday (7:30 pm) at Romelio Martínez, from Barranquilla, in the first leg of the 2020 Super League.
In the sights of the scarlets, according to the statements of their helmsman, is to come with a victory, although they recognize this return will not be easy because the teams are just looking for their best form after the interruption of the championship. Perhaps the conformation of the squads and the memory they have of what they have been doing can weigh, especially in the Valle del Cauca team, which lost its coaching staff and important players who were vital to obtaining the star 14.
With four defenders, three front-line midfielders, with two of them authorized to step on the rival area; two wingers and an attacker, America hopes to be planted and when it can, hurt a rojiblanca defense that has been strong, especially due to the characteristics of its central defenders. A flexible idea between 4-3-2-1 and 4-3-3, which is what the red coach likes.
Luis Alejandro Paz, Rafael Carrascal and Carlos Sierra will have the mission of blocking the junior squad, but when there is a need, Yesus Cabrera – or, failing that, the Chilean Rodrigo Ureña – must show sacrifice. The dimensions of the Romelio Martínez are smaller than those of the Metropolitan and that could contribute to this work of reducing spaces for maneuver to the adversary.
Then, it is known that Duván Vergara and Adriancho Ramos will be in charge of looking for the imbalance in the back area of the Barranquilla cast, with changes of rhythm and shots from outside the area.
From the beginning of the group training sessions, the right-back position was alternated by Daniel Quiñones and Cristian Arrieta, but the owner of the position became official after the latter was left out of the travelers to Barranquilla.
Adrián Ramos, the striker who received all the trust from Cruz Real, will now also act as captain, in a confirmation of the faith that the Argentine coach has in him. The one who had been exercising that leadership with Guimaraes was the Argentine central defender Juan Pablo Segovia.
The scarlet motivation is great, supported by the fact that they believe in the group’s footballing capacity, so they do not stop to mention the strengths of a ‘shark’ that is still injured and wants revenge after losing the final 9 months ago. League.
Nor is it less important that the prize for the Super League champion is around $ 550 million, which would go down very well, and apart there will be two games that will help give rhythm to two teams that need to get back on track in the Copa Libertadores.
On the other hand, the youth Juan Diego Nieva and Juan Camilo Mesa will travel to Europe this Wednesday to join HNK Nibenish, from Croatia, on a one-year loan with a purchase option. Jeferson Contreras, the other player who will go to that club, will do so later.
