Junior from Barranquilla is enjoying a good moment. The two recent victories in the League and Cup, leave them with the optimal level, to be able to start the winning path in the championship. The fans are demanding, because they want an overwhelming team, with purpose and always occupying the first places.
All this has led to criticism close to Cruz Real, due to the level, the approach and endless disagreements. The work, on a day-to-day basis, reflects what is necessary and where the Argentine’s style points him. Against Nacional in the Cup, it was a recital of dominance on the pitch, with players who scored with their talent.
Waiting to have more minutes for Carlos Bacca, who has shown everything he can offer Junior, because his talent is more than intact, being called to be the best reinforcement of the entire semester.
At the moment, Junior is in fourth place, with seven units, waiting for a win that will keep them at the top of the table. The present of the rival is not the best, they have barely four units, with three games played, so far.
On the list of travelers, there is the return of Fernando Uribe, Carlos Esparragoza and Ómar Albornoz, while Freddy Hinestroza, César Haydar and Carmelo Valencia are not part of the list of travelers, according to information from journalist Isaac Barrios.
The most recent duel of the Barranquilla squad, in Antioquia territory, was played at the closing ceremony of 2021, with Junior winning 1 to 2, with goals from Luis González and Fabián Sambueza. Since Águilas’ promotion to first division, a total of 28 games have been played between both teams, with 12 wins, 11 draws and five losses.
Junior goes with 18 players to Rionegro for his match against Águilas. The novelties in the call are Fernando Uribe, Carlos Esparragoza and Omar Albornoz. Carmelo Valencia, Freddy Hinestroza and César Haydar are not going.
