Juan Cruz Real, coach of América de Cali

Juan Cruz Real, coach of América de Cali, assured this Monday that he must “be patient” with Cauca forward Adrián Ramos, who has not been able to score an official goal with the red team since his return to Colombia.

“You have to be patient with Adrián. He has had goal options that unfortunately he has not been able to specify, but with his movements he helps the team a lot,” said the Argentine coach at the press conference prior to the team’s trip to Brazil to face, this Wednesday, to the International for the Copa Libertadores.

Regarding what will be the resumption of the continental competition, halted since March by the coronavirus pandemic, Cruz Real said: “We know that trips in South America are long. What you must have is a great capacity to adapt so that it does not play us in against. We must represent America despite the difficulties. ”

For the strategist, it is worrying that America does not have an extensive roster to face the local tournament and the Libertadores.

“We must perform, be up to the task, but not having a long payroll is difficult,” he said.

Finally, Cruz Real hopes that the team, despite the aforementioned, will respond on the court and get good results: “We must believe a lot because we want to bring joy to the people.”

The game against Inter, for Group E of the Cup, will be this Wednesday at 5:15 pm (Colombian time), at the Beira Río stadium in Porto Alegre.
