The last life. The only bullet. The last hold of the Junior to a 2020 full of ups and downs, of joys and sadness.
Gone was the Superliga title, as the only satisfaction of an atypical season. There were also disappointments in the Copa Libertadores – he stayed in the group stage – and in the League – he was eliminated in the semifinal. where the proposed objectives were not achieved. Junior is playing all or nothing this Wednesday in the South American Cup, when he visits Coquimbo Unido de Chile, in the second game of the quarter series of the continental tournament.
The challenge of the ‘Jaws’, turn a series that started with the left foot at the Metropolitan Stadium, falling 2-1 in the first leg. Not an easy task, but not impossible for the rojiblancos.
Qualifying will mean moving on in a tournament where there are multiple pending accounts. In addition, it will allow you to reinvent yourself to face with new courage the decisive phase (semifinal and final), which will be played next year and will strengthen the four teams that stay alive in the competition. That, added to the economic injection provided by being in a continental semifinal, make this objective a desirable and more than necessary challenge.
The rojiblancos arrive touched both in the emotional part and in the emotional and medical part. Casualties from Covid continue to increase and weaken a team that has just received a strong blow, being eliminated in the semifinals of the League, at the hands of America.
Yesterday the game back to Coquimbo was in suspense, after a new player infected in the rojiblanco team. The achievement was questioned, but Conmebol, in its regulations, is clear, it is played while Junior has the necessary players enabled.
With what there is, the ‘Shark’ must face a Coquimbo that shows two different personalities, one in the League, where he is in 17th place, with the possibility of relegation, and another in the South American, where he has reflected an ambition what today it has them at the gates of their first continental semifinal.
The rojiblancos, who will not have Gabriel Fuentes, are forced to score two or more goals to stay alive. That is why the obligation is not to keep anything. Viera, Teo and Borja will lead a group that knows the need to give one last effort in 2020 to be able to close it with a satisfaction that makes you forget your recent grief.
