, as he is characterized, was controversial and gave his point of view of what Deportes Tolima reflected on the pitch, in the match that the ‘sugar bowl‘ lost 0-1 against the ‘pijao’, for the second date of the League of Colombian soccer.
“I think it is a transition that we are going through, the team will return to what it is, what it showed last year. There are many young people who are growing and joining the team. Unfortunately, there was a dead ball error, we were superior, Tolima is a team that damages games, they throw themselves, it’s their DNA. At the moment we are finding each other and we have to find a solution with work, humility, and we are on our way to that”, assured Gutiérrez Roncancio.
‘Teo’ also highlighted the good tactical disposition of Hernán Torres’ team: “It’s their style and DNA, they played a good game, defensively they did well, we had several options and we couldn’t score, but now we have to come back and improve to reach the level of last semester. We are in the ascent that the team wants. We leave with the taste that we could have given a little more”.
The Barranquilla player trusts that Cali will leave this bad moment behind and will be able to get out of this pothole: “The champions always get up. We have had two games that are not in line with who we are, but we take it with height and responsibility. we will see the videos and we will take solutions. We have a very good coaching staff, there is a huge youth academy and one must grow with mistakes, that is how it was assumed last year and we hope to improve. There are players in the National Teams and others injured; in addition, a few left We are in a stage of growth. Let people be calm, since we are going to give everything. We only had two weeks off. We are calm, but not confident.”
“We are not satisfied with the results; right now we are hurt. We have to improve in every way. Unfortunately, now on our court they throw us a lot, they don’t let us play. We must find a way that the rival does not handle things in our home. We will find ways to improve in soccer. We have to work,” said the man born in the La Chinita neighborhood of Barranquilla.
