Sunday’s Valle del Cauca classic also had another duel, but a very familiar one, one defending the colors of Deportivo Cali, and the other the red of América.
Gilberto Arenas, physical trainer for the eleventh sugar team, was headed by his son José Luis Arenas, who serves as a tactical analyst in Alexandre Guimaraes’ coaching staff.
Both defended the institutions in which they work, but in the end the father was victorious with the 1-0 victory of Deportivo Cali at the Palmaseca stadium.
Gilberto is already a man seasoned in soccer since he has been in several Colombian teams such as Quindío, Tolima, Atlético Huila, Bucaramanga and Millonarios.
With Pinto he also had a stint in national teams, working in Honduras and then in the United Arab Emirates.
His son, who followed his love for football, is a professional in Applied Sports Sciences, studied at the Real Madrid University School and took the course that enables him to manage professional football.
After the game, as Gilberto Arenas reflected on his networks, they hugged each other, leaving the rivalry on the field.
