Atlético Nacional said goodbye to the Colombia Cup, after losing 2-0 against Deportes Tolima.
The defeat at the Manuel Murillo Toro caused discomfort inside the purslane, so Jefferson Duque, captain of the team, came out to show his face and at a press conference he launched some strong words, asking for excuses for the poor performance of him and his teammates, in the quarterfinal duel.
“I am representing the group to face, to apologize to all our fans, to apologize to the teacher, because what happened today is a shame, it is happening to us and it does not have to happen to us anymore“, said the scorer last Thursday, January 21.
The statement of the captain of the Antioquia team was criticized by different sectors and, precisely, one of those who criticized the 33-year-old forward was Iván René Valenciano, who in the VBar program, of Caracol Radio, referred to what Duque said, ensuring that ‘the lights went out’.
“I, his companion, don’t even wait for the press conference to end, right there I go and pick him up with a bang. Right there between the press conference. To respect, to be serious. And I respect Duque, he seems to me to be a great player, a scorer, but the lights went out. You went there to look good with the fans, so that Los del Sur (Atlético Nacional bar) do not criticize you. It is a lack of respect with colleagues ”, he specified.
Atlético Nacional’s next challenge will be this Monday, when at the Municipal Stadium of Zipaquirá, it will face La Equidad, for the second date of the BetPlay League.
