Freddy Hinestroza appealed to pride to bring out the positive amid a painful elimination in the Copa Sudamericana. The rojiblanco winger highlighted the effort made by the team in the midst of adversity.
“All that goes through my mind is the word ‘pride’. We should be proud of this team, because despite the adversity of the Covid, they came and stood up with 12 players, and we won the match. We did not qualify, but I am proud of all my teammates, “he said.
Hinestroza was critical of the refereeing. The rojiblanco player does not understand how a penalty was not called in the action in which an opponent touches the ball with his hand in the first half.
“I don’t understand how with so many cameras they can go wrong. There are superb referees who do not like to accept their mistakes, who with the fact of not wanting to whistle and feel they are in charge, they prefer to make mistakes, “he said.
Finally, he made it clear that he does not consider Junior’s season a failure.
“I don’t consider this to be failure. I think it’s failure when you have players and you don’t play anything. We gave everything, we played good football and I am proud of that, ”concluded the rojiblanco winger.
