It doesn’t matter anything that happened in the semester. This Sunday, the ups and downs don’t matter in the team’s performance, nor the indifferent attitude of some players on the field.
None of this interferes with the objective, in which the forces of the fans and the team must be integrated: add the 3 points against Envigado, and “pray” that destiny is on their side, and not that of Once Caldas, Millonarios, and Junior.
All those in red are clear, they do not depend on themselves for their classification to the semi-final home runs. The DIM must win on its visit to the orange box, and wait for at least one of the following three scenarios to occur.
May América beat Once Caldas in Manizales, a victory for Chicó visiting Millonarios in El Campín, or may Cali, at home, beat Junior. The matches that have a direct influence on those classified for home runs They will be played this Sunday at 5:00 pm
The red payroll
One of the great challenges for the Powerful One will be to overcome fatigue. The presence of the titular payroll, It will be the fourth time in the last 18 days where it uses the same base.
Since that victory against César Vallejo (April 10), Arias only gave them rest against Patriotasa match that became complicated and they had to rescue the result in the last breath of added time.
“There are several of them who have been repeating practically every game”, the coach stated to the press prior to the match. He also reported that there are tired footballers, and “some injuries that we will see if we can recover from.”
Monsalve or Yairo?
Another challenge for Arias will be to define the replacement for Ánderson Plata, who was injured in the classic. In the South American Cup match against Defensa y Justicia he chose the young Miguel Monsalvewho responded in spades by taking over the midfield and scoring a goal.
“I told him yesterday, It may have been the best individual performance by a striker since I’ve been here., for my taste, because in his position he did everything well, everything well. On top of that, he came to the area and scored,” said the coach regarding the youth game. But in the line is Yairo Moreno, the banner of red which added almost 2 months out due to injury.
Envigado needs the points
“It’s going to be a high-calibre match, for what Medellín is playing,” said the orange coach, Alexis Márquez.
“We are not going to make it easy for you, If we need the 3 points in the next tournament, they are not going to give them to us.”he declared, highlighting that they need to get out of the bottom of the relegation table.
Medellín, for its part, will play a large part of the semester, and its fans will also have their eyes and hearts on the other 3 games.
