Terrible presentation of Santa Fe in the first leg of the 2020 BetPlay League grand final: América de Cali beat him 3-0 and exposed many of his shortcomings. Those led by Harold Rivera failed in what they could not: passive in defense, disorderly in the returns and without efficiency in the few attacks. Thus, reversing the final key is very difficult and the Valle del Cauca team would already have half a star in their pocket.
Once the painful defeat was consummated, the cardinal wardrobe went through several stages. First a deathly silence, the players hurt by the fall and with their heads bowed, with a face of not understanding what had just happened. “It was very sad; The group was very convinced to make a good presentation and the truth is that we don’t understand what happened to play so badly ”, said a source consulted by FUTBOLRED.
Then the first voices were heard, trying to find an explanation for such a long defeat. “There were no reproaches, no one spoke hot, but there was self-criticism.”
One of the experienced players of the Bogota team revealed that “we did not mark individual errors. Here we all win and we all lose. We had a bad game, but we have to turn the page. We have 90 minutes left and we must bundle up, not listen to the outside, to you journalists, just mentalize ourselves that we have a great opportunity to reverse this. “
And he added that “we only talk about power, that by being intelligent and sacrificing ourselves, we are going to do it. They scored three goals at home, why can’t we do it too? Nothing can be ruled out; the one who fights is alive, we have breathing and we can achieve things. This is how we are all ”.
Outside the campus there were also words of encouragement and motivation. “In adversity, the brave and heroes are known. We have arguments to win and try to even the series. I heard everyone talked about being patient this week, about working and putting in the last effort of the year. I didn’t see crooked faces, I didn’t see recriminations, and that’s why we told the boys that we believe in them ”.
Santa Fe traveled to Bogotá on Sunday night and will have a rest day this Monday. There are no injuries after the first 90 minutes, yes a lot of fatigue in several of the players. However, the head is strong and now they will prepare the strategy to achieve a feat, next Sunday December 27 in El Campín.
