Without a doubt, Junior de Barranquilla is the team that broke the Colombian transfer market for 2022. First-rate hires to face local competitions and the South American Cup.
Despite important names in attack such as Miguel Ángel Borja and Fernando Uribe, the shark team continues with the hope of having the return of a benchmark.
In dialogue with ‘El Heraldo’, Carlos Bacca spoke about his current situation in Spanish football, the possibilities of wearing the red and white jacket again, an aspect that has been discussed in recent years, and made a revelation about Arturo Reyes, until recently team coach.
He claimed to feel “happy” in Granada, although the start was not easy. “I arrived with a knee injury that I had had last season when I was at Villarreal. Thank God, after two or three hard months, working with the medical department, even though I was training, they gave me a treatment, with infiltrations, “he said.
The good news is that his knee is getting better and now “the injury is over.”
Regarding sports, he revealed that his team is in the process of growth and in this sense seeks to contribute his experience to achieve the objectives. He also thanked the confidence that the entire team environment has given him and the support of the fans. Of course, at the time, fans have shown their dissatisfaction with the coffee attacker on social media.
The Junior theme was not long in coming. He revealed that his return was close to the hand of Arturo Reyes, but after knowing his departure and the hiring of Juan Cruz Real “there it was” …
“The only one who talked about Junior was with Arturo Reyes, he always had the illusion and the desire for me to return, but unfortunately they took him out. He was the only one he spoke to at the time, when he was a team coach. He asked me about my situation and told me that he wanted me to join his project. We had been talking about it, things were advanced, but hey, Arturo did not continue and there was the thing, but I spoke with no manager. I did not have the possibility”.
Precisely about the strategist, Bacca said that he seemed to be working in the best way because the team “stood up to him as equals to anyone.” He even dared to say that his handling was not good but “excellent.” The only problem, in his opinion, was that “I needed players like the ones who are coming now.”
He added that he also spoke with captain Sebastián Viera and that his relationship with the managers is “good”, but they have not touched on the issue of the return. For now, he said that he will always have “open doors” for the Barranquilla club for two reasons: he is a fan and wants to retire there. “When the managers want they can call me and you can reach good terms to be able to join us”, He concluded.
Finally, he gave a brief summary of his contract with Granada. He explained that he has six months left on his contract and an additional season in case of reaching certain goals, which “I can meet.”
