Deportivo Cali aims to reinforce its offensive part, in which too many goal options were wasted during the season that ends.
Despite the fact that optically in terms of football, the team seemed to be working well, it was surprisingly eliminated from the BetPlay Cup, BetPlay League and the South American Cup.
Marco Caicedo, president of the institution, spoke in the ‘Super Combo of Sports’ about the current situation of the team, those who will leave and those who arrive, but especially about the future of important players such as Deiber Caicedo Agustín Palavecino and Jhon Arias.
The manager stated that “after evaluating the number of players that came out a total of 12 in the positions, we decided to bring five reinforcements: goalkeeper, confirmed Guillermo De Amores, pending that he passes his medical examinations; central, we are analyzing different alternatives; mixed steering wheel; tip, we brought Michell Ramos, a fast, skilled player, who has a lot of future, a lot of potential, the possible continuity of Jhon Vásquez, it is not yet a reality because we need to find a way to make it happen, we also consider him reinforcement ”.
He added that “Marco Pérez for the other position, another ‘9’ to have a powerful forward, led by Angelo and Pérez, who have played and triumphed in the past, they are experienced players, those are the positions, three confirmed in At this moment, pending medical examinations, two are missing, Pérez and De Amores, and there we would possibly be thinking of two more reinforcements ”.
As for whether José Moya is a candidate as a central defender, he said that “now we have only identified the position, and from there there is a bunch of possibilities, our Technical Secretariat and the sports area have 93 players in the portfolio, although it sounds like a lie, It is not the time to give names because we are just underway and we still have to analyze more in depth and look at conditions and many things that can change at any time ”.
About Deiber Caicedo he said that they are training in the squad on a double day, first for that match of 30, they even told me that Palavecino is very well and Jhon is flying, on the second day the ´profe´ is training with the entire group of Canteranos who come from the lower ranks and also those who we had loaned to the B, they are all there, he is evaluating them stealthily and from there we will choose the seven that we are going to promote this year, he has a very firm idea of who they will be and there will be others who he wants to be very close, preparing them for squad one ”.
Specifically regarding the presence of Palavecino and Vásquez for 2021, he indicated that “it can happen, but also that it cannot, it is still not possible to attest to one or the other, as for Deiber his departure is imminent.”
Regarding the campaign that the team carried out this year, he said that “one is always very puzzled by the outcome of a season that was going very well, that had been exciting, rescuing the good, that DNA was recovered, a style of play that was liked And that he was on the right track, unfortunately that’s how life is, that’s how football is, you have to have a bit of luck at some point, sometimes we found arbitration decisions that affected us, in Buenos Aires, our morale dropped, we had that unfortunate match against Equidad in which we lost a player in the 7th minute, with 10 men we passed over him, but we could not hire 12 arrivals on goal, three shots on the stick, that’s how football is, if one had entered, we would be talking of other things, so we have to reflect, accept the blame, we did not have the scoring power, the fact is that we did not score the goals, that was the great mole and that is why we have decided to reinforce the entire offensive area ”.
Cortuluá did not allow a new loan from Andrés Colorado and the player must return to the ‘heart of the Valley’ team, which will surely place him in another club.
Deportivo Cali will play on December 29 against Millonarios, for the last ticket to the South American Cup in 2021.
