Sebastián Viera welcomes the start of the ‘Reyes era’ in Junior. The rojiblanco goalkeeper and captain highlights the enthusiasm that the group is putting into this new process at the hands of the Samario coach, who debuted with two wins.
“The start with Arturo (kings) I see very well. I see that the group quickly grasped the idea that the teacher wants and the most important thing is that the results are being achieved ”, said the Uruguayan in dialogue with EL HERALDO.
“The group is really looking forward to it. Emotionally and soccer is good. At times, in the games, we have suffered hard blows, but the team has not stopped at that, but has caught the ball with personality and has kept trying, “he added.
Viera does not hide her concern about the children’s goals that Junior has received in the last two games. The Uruguayan assures that the only way to avoid this type of thing is with “work” and with a “strong mentality”.
“It is complicated when what is happening to us in the games happens. Hopefully this game against Pereira will be the last one in which we give advantages in the back and we find a level of the team, because forward, fortunately, we have improved a lot, and that has helped us to resolve the games. This is about work and a strong mentality so as not to fall, to be positive and to move forward ”, he expressed.
The rojiblanco captain believes that they have enough elements to improve on the defensive side. “You have to talk a lot, study why these things are happening, because the truth is they are not normal. And support each other. We do not get this out one by one, but all together. I am sure that soon we will return to give the defensive guarantees that a great team like Junior should give, and more with the good players that we have, ”he said.
Viera is already experiencing Sunday’s game against Cali, the first away game in the Reyes era and a litmus test for the team, which has shown significant improvement in some aspects under the guidance of coach Samario.
“This next game is very important. We have lost important points, some at home, and it is time to start recovering them from the outside. We are already among the eight, which is important, now we cannot get out of there, on the contrary, we must aim to continue climbing the table ”.
The clash against the sugar box will have a special ingredient, the duel against Teófilo Gutiérrez. It will be the first time that the Barranquilla striker faces the rojiblanco team. Viera sees the game as one more and does not want to enter into disputes of any kind that generate additional morbidity to the party.
“Sunday’s game is Junior against Cali, not Junior against Teo. We are going to face a good team that has Teo, whom we know and he was someone important to us. But the only thing that is clear to us is that beyond anything else, the important thing is to win so that Junior continues to add ”, concluded the Uruguayan.
