Máyer Candelo was seen calm this Thursday at a press conference, amid so many rumors that point to his departure from Deportivo Cali and fights with the captain of the sugar team, Teófilo Gutiérrez.

The coach of the Verdiblanco team downplayed the speculations that suggest that he would leave the position to Jaime de la Pava, assuring that, until now, he continues to be the helmsman of Deportivo Cali.

“The only thing I can tell you is that I am the coach of Deportivo Cali today. What they talk about outside is not my problem. We are all free to express what we want, to communicate what you feel and to express what you believe. I can’t fight people. I am respectful of all the comments that are said. The reality is different, ”he said forcefully.

Asked about the interference of businessmen who have players in Deportivo Cali, Candelo pointed out that he took on a team that was already armed and based on that he is working.

“I clarify: I did not come to Deportivo Cali for a businessman, so I have no business with any of them. I arrived and there were already some players, I can’t start looking at who they are, but I have to work with them. My problem is not It is who is the entrepreneur of the players, my problem is to improve them so that Deportivo Cali can get out of the situation it is in,” he said.

And he added: “I don’t understand the speculation, the rumor or the gossip on that subject from the businessmen. They say that Ángelo belongs to (Daniel) Azcárate, I put up with him for ten dates and he has already scored five goals; Kevin Salazar earned his place and It belongs to Miguel Cardona; they say that another is from Portela, another from Viveros… they belong to everyone. I didn’t come to see who their employer is, but what players I have”.

Candelo said that many things have been discussed within Deportivo Cali, but that his only concern is to move the team forward.

“Here I did not come to fight with anyone. I am not a boxer. I am the coach and he comes to contribute what he can learn in 23 years playing professional soccer, plus what I studied, ”he said.

In that sense, the sugar technician assured that there is harmony within Deportivo Cali, despite everything that is said outside.

“The only thing that has happened here is that there is joy, good dialogue, good communication and what they say outside I have not paid attention to because it is not my responsibility. I am the coach of Deportivo Cali, I enjoy it every day, I enjoy it. I want the situation to change. We hope that this Sunday we can have a joy for all of us who want Cali to be well, ”he concluded.

Candelo has 9 matches with Deportivo Cali, reaching 4 draws and 5 losses that have the eleventh sugar producer in last place in the table. On Sunday they will be seen at home with Atlético Bucaramanga.
