Jaime García’s tense press conference
First, he had words for the opportunities he gives to the cadets and how he tries to accompany them. “I try to take them on the best path. I didn’t mention Opazo last week, I don’t know if you noticed. “I see other things and not just football,” he said.
He then aimed directly at Diego Opazo, an 18-year-old Wanderers player who started against UC. “If he doesn’t think, if he doesn’t behave, if they don’t stop him at home, I’ll have to do it. As long as the children behave and follow the structure that I feel they have to comply with, I will always give them the opportunity,” he noted.
“If he fulfills me as a person, then he will have to fulfill me as a player. You grow up as a coach and sometimes you come across players who spoil you, and that’s where you have to stop them and turn off the lights,” he expressed.
Finally, he answered the question of why he decided to leave footballers out of consideration. Kevin Vásquez and Andrés Barbosawho are usually starters on the team.
“I don’t know if you know me well, but I’m not someone who sends players forward. I feel that we have to rotate, we have to make them feel that this is competition since that generates demands. They leave because I have to give others minutes and I can’t go crazy either. They leave purely due to a technical decision, we do not have a large squad and that is why I change 3-4 players,” he concluded.
