Moments of tension were experienced in the match between Bucaramanga and Nacional, not only because of the resounding 3-1 defeat. Aldair Quintana’s departure from the match, for the second half, surprised everyone present on stage and spectators. During the broadcast, it was said that the goalkeeper did not even leave the dressing room, remaining inside it.
The news has been around due to the constant mistakes of the Purslane goalkeeper, who has been heavily criticized for this. Alejandro Restrepo himself spoke at a press conference, stating that the issue “was in the dressing room and we want to leave it completely closed. Nacional’s goalkeepers are trained to be here and this is a moment to revalidate that decision”.
The information from the journalist Adolfo Pérez, revealed on the ESPN program ‘Equipo F’, tells a version of what would have happened in the purslane dressing room, at the Alfonso López stadium “He entered the dressing room destroyed, sat in a corner, he grabbed his head, literally pulled his hair. It was the psychologist, to talk to him to tell him, this is your moment, you have to recover, you cannot give up this opportunity. He didn’t speak. He was the coach, he spoke to him, the players, coaching staff spoke to him and he did not respond. He told the coach: I am not capable, I am destroyed, out of respect for my teammates, I am not capable of playing like that.
In addition, he added that it was the same Quintana who asked not to go out on the field for the second half.
At the end of the match, he met with the group “He told them ‘I just made a mistake, I want to apologize to you. They will never do it, you should never give up playing football. I’m sorry for what happened to me, what happened to me. I come with this psychological overload. I know that if it had continued, it would have hurt more.”
What Adolfo Pérez told about Aldair and his situation in the dressing room was very strong: “He sat alone, he pulled his hair. The psychologist spoke to him and he did not answer. The technician spoke to him and he did not answer”
A human being destroyed by a terrible habit; believe that we can kill them all.

He pulled his hair, sat down on the edge; Nor did he flinch at the psychologist’s persuasion. Is it worth declaring yourself incapable or stepping aside? It is great to recognize that we subtract more than we add. Aldair deserves to succeed, even if it’s not here. We are insufferable as fans. pic.twitter.com/fZ2Wc6oziH
