América de Cali lost 1-0 as a visitor against Deportivo Cali, for date 16 of the BetPlay Dimayor II-2022 League, at the Cali stadium in Palmaseca, in the 298th edition of the Valle del Cauca classic for the local tournament. After finishing the commitment, coach Alexandre Guimaraes referred to how the group was left by the blow.
“The feeling is that we have missed an opportunity to take the three points from here, because the game that could be played before all the events that happened, later in the second half, was so that we could get out of here today adding . Of course there is disappointment on everyone’s part, we knew it was a game where we could add”.
He stressed that the classification is still in his hands: “now we have these four games that are missing to make the points, we had 15 points to play, where of those 15 we had to take advantage of today to add the first three and the margin is now reduced in the four games that we need to get the eight points that in my opinion gives us to qualify”.
They must continue working to get back to goal: “we have to keep insisting, we can’t get here to do anything other than what we’re doing, at the level of game productivity in arrivals. The team is doing everything that we have been evolving in this time, sometimes it takes a lot of shots to get one inside, others not so much, today it was like that. We arrived many times with great clarity and we let them go.”
They are already thinking about the next game: “We have to see in training tomorrow afternoon how the evolution of Vera’s strong blow to the quadriceps will go and from there we can figure out the absences of the center-back and the absence of Portilla. Everything, in my view, is defined in the evolution of Vera. From there, I will put together what I have to get on Wednesday to get the three points”.
They will fight until the last game: “what was triggered was a decrease in the volume of our game, compared to what we did until the 60th minute, because our changes could hardly have an effect. Here nobody is throwing in the towel, we are going to give everything until the last game, because if what can be painting is that, we are going to get the classification until the last game”.
