Disappointment. The defeat of Sporting Cristal against Melgar de Arequipa in the semifinal of League 1 It generated a lot of criticism towards the Rimense team. One of the last to speak was the former soccer player Horace Baldessariwho regretted seeing the players without motivation at the National Stadium.
“Sometimes I see this Sporting Cristal and I don’t understand anything because it is a team without soul, very cold. Just walking onto the field and seeing the reception, you have to die inside, but these guys I don’t know what they have. There is nothing”, He stated in dialogue with Radio Ovación.
Likewise, ‘Pepa’ questioned the approach made by Roberto Mosquera and regretted that, despite having players like Yoshimar Yotún and the Argentine Diego Goodnighta good collective performance will not be appreciated.
“He put on players like Yotún and Buonanotte and the team appealed to the ball and they saw the ball go over the top. When they had it they played backwards. I am very disappointed (…). In 90 minutes we reached the goal twice, a shot at the post that was an advanced position and a goal disallowed. Then we didn’t kick a shot on goal. And I said, Roberto, please enlighten yourself, ”he added.
On the other hand, the sky-blue former goalscorer considered that the current directive has been repeatedly making mistakes. “Cristal fans are polite. I understand that the owners of the club are businessmen, but things cannot be managed that way. Two or three years ago we have been making mistakes with hiring, I don’t know how these things happen “ended.
