This Thursday the two winners of the first date of the B quadrangular of the BetPlay II-2021 League will be measured in Ibagué: Deportes Tolima and América, in one of the stellar matches of the second date.
For the scarlets it would be an important step to also defeat the ‘pijaos’ in the Manuel Murillo Toro, as happened on date 16 of all against all, with a score by Gustavo Torres in the 23rd minute of the second half.
However, it could be a different story, after those led by Hernán Torres thrashed Alianza Petrolera 1-4 in Barrancabermeja.
Nor can it be forgotten that the Reds are on a good streak, with three wins and an ERA that they did not have throughout the regular season and that they compromised their classification to home runs until the last minute.
Juan Carlos Osorio’s assistant, Pompilio Páez, spoke to journalists again about the moment of the Valle del Cauca cast: “Fortunately we managed to qualify and now we have a very harmonious team with a very clear idea, a team already with a regularity of the 90s. minutes, of the duration of the game ”.
A player who could return to the starting lineup is Pablo Ortiz, a defender who was reserved in the previous match taking into account the speed and strength of the Tolima forwards.
Páez added that “for the two away games we have, we will have 20 players, we will choose the best 18 according to our game plan. We have already been establishing a base ”.
Osorio is already planning an effective strategy as it happened against Millonarios, a rival to whom he closed all his potential. This Tolima is more physical and has great strength in its defensive sector.
