Carlos ‘Pisces’ Restrepomember of the coaching staff of National AthleticI speak of the achievement of the star 17 of the painting paisa. Restrepo praised the work of Hernan Dario Herrera at the head of the team and explained why the Purslane team suffered more in some games.
“I have to be very cautious and very respectful, first of the position and second of the answer I can give, here we have to talk about a leader, a person who was given a second chance at the club, which is Professor Hernán Darío Herrera, who had already been champion but had not had continuity in the club and the leaders are backing Hernán again in this idea, in this team and I feel that he arrives in a very short time to try to unite the group, to try to give him peace of mind , that he had an expression starting from the simple and in the end that the players perfectly copied what the teacher wanted” Pisicis explained about Nacional’s secret.
In this regard, he added: “later, with the intention of obtaining a title for Nacional, which was what was wanted, at a sporting level, at an administrative level, I felt it, because these big teams suffer, they bet on me supporting the coaching staff, accompanying the Professor Restrepo and Professor Hernán Darío, we support at times with ideas, at other times with decisions and with work, in the end all of us who are there what we want is that the coach can be clothed, that he can be calm and feel that those who we help also create a good environment within the idea that he leads, In the end, fortunately, it happened, as you have already seen the response of the players, which is the most powerful”.
Before talking about hiring players, Restrepo pointed out that what to look for in Herrera’s renewal: “here the first thing is that the teacher sits down with the leaders, because the teacher practically has to receive at this time the pertinent information of its continuity, have an arrangement and then the disposition to touch on those topics. Nacional has an important base of players and under that analysis they have to look at how we are at the South American level”.
Why wasn’t National showy?
“The teacher put a framework under the need that Nacional had for a title, he put winning it above all else, changing some things and committing the players. If for the moment it was not possible to play nice, it was time to win it in another way“, he replied about it.
And he added: “Nacional had moments where he played well and others where he suffered, the teacher is not unaware of that and those of us who are at his side supporting, we perfectly understood that Nacional was there, at times playing in what he knows and at times running, scoring, for moments defending a result because they wanted the title. Strategically it was also sought in that way and fortunately the teacher is right for what he wanted and I think that within Nacional and the fans he showed it to him yesterday, that the need was to win and today all the fans of Nacional and the board of directors of Nacional are happy with the achievement”.
Why did you suffer more?
“In Colombia there are three teams with a very good conformation and with very complete worksespecially two of them, who are Millionaires, Tolima and there is a third that starts with a new technician, who is barely adding his first months,” he commented.
“Under Millonarios and Tolima, there are players who are not only well formed in terms of payroll, but in accumulated work they can be above Nacional, which leads Hernan Torres and what he wears gamer in each of his teams, that was the case when facing rivals and the teacher was very clear about that, because the benefits of payroll and jobs are no secret to anyone, Tolima showed it, he dominated us, nobody has covered, the teacheror Hernán Darío was very clear, under that premise the parties were raised. If they weren’t out there equalizing in that accumulation of work, we could do it in the strategy, those teams looked for Nacional and Nacional knew how to respond with what they had,” he concluded in response.
