Santa Fe lost the script and fell on his visit to América de Cali (3-0) in the first game of the 2020 Betplay League final. Cardinal coach Harold Rivera spoke at the end of the engagement and acknowledged that they did not play a good match. His team is already thinking about the return.
Rivera acknowledged that his team, which arrived as the best of the regular phase, did not play a good game but he is confident that in Bogotá on December 27 they will be able to fight. “We did not play a good game and it is to be recognized. America reached us three or four times, with the goal that was annulled, it was not a team that put us in the goal, but we made huge mistakes, they charged us … we are hurt. We have one game left in Bogotá and we are going to fight it ”.
Regarding the goals received, the Ibagueran coach stressed that America took advantage of specific errors. “We have to work this week on those mistakes we made because we had studied America and perhaps how that first goal came, a rebound that we were not aware of and then the kick-off, they were errors of our attention that they took advantage of. We must correct and work on their weaknesses and our strengths. You have to raise a game to equalize the series or come back. We shouldn’t have played this way, but at home we’ve been strong. “
Rivera was critical and said that he rescued very little of his team in this first round of the final because he did not manage to generate risk in Joel Graterol’s premises. “We created few goal situations and even in that, the stopped ball, we missed it alone in front of the goal. There are many things to correct and propose an intelligent party in Bogotá. We need a result to help us get through this tough time ”.
Finally, the coach emphasized that his team will continue to work on the emotional part to be able to reverse the situation on the return leg. “We have been working for a long time on what is the emotional part and the whole situation. This week is more of the same, to continue what we are doing and look at the approach, to go out and find the result. We must first worry about the first goal, then the others will come ”.
