America vs. Junior at the Pascual Guerrero stadium: no gifts, please

Junior 7, Libertad 0. Several Atletico fans ironically that Wednesday’s Copa Sudamericana match at the Metropolitano ended like this. The three goals that the Sharks scored in the goal of the Paraguayan team and the four that were ‘made’ in their own goal.

The truth is that the Caribbean picture went from ‘generous’. He gave the Guaraní group four gifts that only lacked a bow and a special dedication.

Junior players themselves know that it is a reality. A series of blunders in the back zone buried the chances of victory in Barranquilla and left the team hanging by a thread in the Copa Sudamericana.

“If we see the goals, they were more mistakes of us than virtues of the rival, we have to do with almost all of them,” admitted Carmelo Valencia, but without pointing out only the members of the back area. “Not only the defense, we forwards too, the whole team has to do with it,” added the veteran striker from Clash, author of one of the goals scored in the visiting goal.

Thinking of correcting the cracks in the rear and enhancing the offensive strengths that were seen, coach Luis Amaranto Perea and his team traveled to Cali this Friday to face América de Cali, at the Pascual Guerrero stadium in Cali, this Saturday from 3:30 pm, on the first day of League II.

“Logically we will look to see how to minimize the mistakes we have made,” said Luis Amaranto.

The DT will have to deal with five important losses on his payroll. The players who were sanctioned for the fight against members of Millonarios, especially the forward Samarius Ricardo ‘el Caballo’ Márquez.

Sebastián Viera must pay three dates, Willer Ditta, two; Larry Vasquez, two; Didier Moreno, six; and Hómer Martínez, six.

Éder Chaux, who came at the beginning of the year from America, will have his first opportunity as a starting goalkeeper for the ‘Sharks’, precisely against his former team.

Dany Rosero and Jefferson Gómez are the alternatives Perea has to replace Martínez, who started alongside Germán Mera against Libertad de Paraguay.

The candidates to fill the vacancies of Moreno and Vásquez are Fabián Ángel, Juan David Rodríguez and Rubén Manjarrés. The first two have more experience.

Apart from the five suspended, Junior will not be able to use one of his six incorporations, the creative midfielder José Carlos Muñoz, who is incapacitated, according to unofficial information.

Carmelo Valencia did not travel to the ‘Sultana del Valle’ by technical decision.

América, which is now under the command of Juan Carlos Osorio, also comes from suffering a defeat at home in the Copa Sudamericana, 1-0 against Athletico Paranaense, and will seek to vindicate itself against Junior.

The scarlets could not use their new players due to a lawsuit filed with Fifa by the Argentine player Matías Pisano, who demanded the payment of a debt that the club had with him. America had already canceled the money, but Pisano and his lawyer did not notify the rector of world football and it was impossible to register the new faces before Conmebol.

Osorio was forced to face the international duel without the signings with whom he had trained in the preseason, such as winger Elvis Mosquera, center-back Jorge Segura and winger Déiner Quiñones, among others.

But in the League he will be able to use them, which means that the clash is a good challenge for Junior, who needs to win to go with a better state of mind to the rematch match against Libertad, in Asunción, on Wednesday (7:30 pm ). So no gifts, please.
