It is less and less until the start of the BetPlay League 2022-II and Independiente Santa Fe works day after day to finalize details for the debut on the first day when they visit the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo to face La Equidad. After a bad tournament full of ups and downs, the Cardinals need to make their history big again and qualify for final home runs.
After a failed semester with Martín Cardetti at the helm, who in fact did not finish the season with Independiente Santa Fe, Grigori Méndez and Agustín Julio latently maintained the hope of qualifying. Failing to do so on the last day against Once Caldas, Eduardo Méndez dismissed Méndez from office and appointed Alfredo Arias as the new cardinal strategist.
The Alfredo Arias era came revolutionized by more lows than highs. Well, Leonardo Pico, Francisco Meza, Yulián Anchico, Fernando Coniglio, Ezequiel Aguirre, Jerson Malagón, Harold Gómez and Jhon Velásquez left the club. Eight starts for only four arrivals that for the Uruguayan strategist are more than enough to face the upcoming tournament.
Without a doubt, Alfredo Arias will have the mission of fighting for the league title, as well as qualifying for international cups, leaving good impressions in the BetPlay League 2022-II. To do this, they work tirelessly at the Tenjo sports venue. Arias seems happy with his new players.
They arrived at the cardinal box, José Manuel Aja, Uruguayan central defender, José David Enamorado, winger who knows well Alfredo Arias, Geisson Perea, central defender and Jeferson Rivas, center forward. The strategist Alfredo Arias granted an interview with the Red + channel where he felt comfortable with the squad he has.
Proof of this is that Alfredo Arias will not seek more signings, ‘we are still getting to know each other. There are some players who have been arriving in recent days. We are building on what was built on. I think that to buy time, that is surely the best. I’ve always done it that way and we’ve always worked it that way.’
He added, ‘we’re not looking for more players because we’re at a time when if they haven’t come, it’s no longer convenient, unless we get a player who breaks our eyes and comes to add’. In turn, he maintained, ‘I think those of us who are here right now are the best. So the squad we’re going to compete with is this’.
