Since the elimination of Independiente Medellín, which was not enough to enter the home runs of League II-2021, Julio Comesaña has been clear about his plan for next year. In accordance with their perceptions and the needs they detected, the directors have been making decisions thinking about the team they want to form in order to function and compensate themselves.
Although there are several movements that have been reported in the last three weeks, the coup of authority has not yet come. It may not arrive, as expressed by the strategist before the holidays.
“I’m tired of putting together tremendous teams with names and making slips of it.”declared the Colombian-Uruguayan.
He has faith in 2022 del Poderoso and that motivated him to stay, despite the club’s financial limitations. “I don’t want to see myself in Barranquilla back without work. I want achievements, I want to do things, I want to make this work, I want the team to walk “Comesaña stated.
The DT made it clear to the fans that the club is not in a position to make large investments and recalled that “good players are worth money”. Along these lines, the helmsman made a clarification: “I am not going to leave even if the club does not make bombastic hires.”
He specified that they are “measuring well” where the DIM has to put money to bring in a player who “helps us to be better, who takes us a bit by the hand in some game situations.” It could be the striker they are looking for on the outside.
Maintain the base, your requirement
Initially, “the requirement is to maintain the base that we believe should be maintained”. For this reason, the directives renewed the players who, in the coach’s discretion, have been important to the team.
Andrés Mosquera Marmolejo, Juan Guillermo Arboleda, Germán Gutiérrez and Jean Pineda were insured, as was David Loaiza, from whom they bought Leones. Now, the plan is to retouch in key positions. For now, they have only hired winger José Manuel Hernández Chávez. And Felipe Pardo sounds loud, while they hope to have Andrés Ricaurte and Brayan Castrillón.
“You have to tell the fans the truth. They are looking for more utilitarian players, more for the team, players who can fulfill two or three functions, that we truly make a team, “explained the coach.
Perhaps his experience in Junior showed him that “here it is not the one who spends the most that wins, but the one who arms the best according to what he wants to achieve “.
He also showed that he is not interested in having great figures, but to build a collective that performs together and does not depend on a single element.
“Having expensive players also creates difficulties. That completely dismantles because the one who earns a lot is the star and appears in all the programs, “he commented.
In accordance with that assessment, Comesaña added: “What I want is a well-designed campus. I don’t want a group where there are three or four players who are the phenomena or who manage the team, that the team wins when they are well,… I want players for the team because surely we will not have anything left over, and we have to be very involved with what we are going to do and play “.
Medellín will play the League and the BetPlay Cup next year, but the great challenge is his participation in the Copa Sudamericana.
