Deportivo Cali will visit Medellín this Sunday (8:10 pm) at the Atanasio Girardot, in one of the striking commitments on date 16 of the 2020 BetPlay League.
The coach Alfredo Arias confirmed that he will once again use his main figure and co-leader of the artillery table, the Argentine Agustín Palavecino, taking advantage of the rule for having Andrés Arroyo in the call for the Colombia Sub 20 Selection.
As is known, the gaucho midfielder is pending to pay a sanction date for accumulating yellow cards, but they have endured it to try to secure themselves in the list of the first eight of the contest.
Being fourth with 27 points allows Cali to think about being calmer if it defeats an irregular rival and see from above the outcome of all against all. Hence, the goal is to have your best arguments.

The coach Alfredo Arias, in his usual press conference prior to the game, referred to the current situation of the Valle del Cauca team. Regarding what the fixed tactic represents, he said that “football has been matched in many aspects and in those even matches the ball still is fundamental, we had handled it well and we had achieved a good, although not so much in attack, we have a low percentage for the number of fouls and the times we practice, in defense we had been controlling well, the other day we had failures, we should not have exposed ourselves to the referee asking for the VAR, without a doubt we have to correct and improve that “.
Regarding the societies that the team has been able to put together in some sectors with their wings and wingers, he pointed out that “for many years there has been talk that football is small societies on the field and at the same time breaking up those societies that the rival. Societies in soccer are usually made in the near, not in the distant, in the bands society is usually formed and in the inner lanes between the midfielders, and that makes a team work better or worse, we have good players and professionals that they are trying very hard from the beginning and that helps a society to function better ”.
Regarding the movements he has implemented in the squad, he pointed out that “we will continue rotating when we think we have to, the squad is strong, some have had more minutes, others less, as in all teams, but we are healthy, in that sense we are doing well. An extra load is coming, in a week we are going to travel and play a lot, there we have to open our eyes to know what is the best decision ”.
He ratified the presence of his most outstanding player: “I will use Palavecino for the same thing I said before, first it was Monday than Tuesday, we will make an approach the same as all the games so far, we will try to play better than the rival , playing better means with and without the ball and trying to find the three points, we have not speculated anywhere, we have always sought to win, I have always said it from the beginning, we are Deportivo Cali and we have to go everywhere with more desire to win than fear of losing ”.
On the importance of beating Medellín to go calmly to the South American Cup, he said that “we are going to wait, I have met many who celebrated before, but we are going for the three points, I never do any of those accounts.”
