This Saturday, November 28, was the end of the Atlético Nacional competitions for this 2020, another year where he again leaves without lifting a title and where injuries and covid-19 left him decimated to face the return match against América de Cali . At the end of the game, the coach in charge Alejandro Restrepo appreciated the effort of his team, especially of the young people who had to face this key commitment.
“If something positive must be highlighted, it was the dedication of the group throughout the game. Reviewing the statistics in almost all aspects we were equal or superior, in the first half we were even in the options, but they were more effective. These games allow young people to have experience for what is coming, “said Restrepo.
In addition, “I highlight the great physical and mental effort of the group, overcoming extra-sports situations and I emphasize that there are 16 youngsters and 15 homegrown players from the club on the roster. With that experience, they will be strengthened in the future and we can have better seasons ”.
Regarding the expulsion of Ewil Murillo, at the end of the first half, Alejandro commented that “we felt a lot of helplessness, it was a natural attack play, the player in his head did not have the intention of attacking the rival. I believe that the people in charge of making the decisions are the most suitable and there was no bad faith ”.
Thinking about his future and the possibilities to be a technical assistant in 2021, Restrepo indicated that “I am a club worker, with the payroll we put our hearts in and I hope to continue contributing to the institution from wherever I may be. We will have time to analyze the best for each of the players and for the club itself ”.
Regarding what he told his team at halftime, Restrepo specified that “with the 0-2, we had a goal below the scoreboard, I told them that we still had a chance to equalize the series. Then they expelled one of them (America) and we could not be effective, then they marked us and we could not reverse the result ”.
Finally, he spoke about Sebastián Guerra, the goalkeeper who made his professional debut on the purslane portico. “Sebastián (Guerra) came out of the match very beaten, he is a winner and due to the circumstances of the game, he assumed defeat. I was able to talk to him, we gave him peace of mind, that will be stronger and more mature for his future ”.
