Matías Mier is today one of the important players on the squad that Independiente Santa Fe has in 2022. The Uruguayan midfielder has surrendered and has taken over the starting position thanks to the confidence of coach Martín Cardetti.
This Sunday he scored a goal in the 1-2 defeat against Pereira, in match date 6 of the BetPlay I League played at the El Campín stadium. Thus, he was the one chosen by the coach to accompany him to the press conference after the commitment.
In the middle of the round of questions, one of the questions addressed to Mier was about the tight schedule that the Colombian league has this year. The controversy over playing every three or four days has had voices of disagreement from other players and even coaches.
Thus, they wanted to know the opinion of the Uruguayan, and he surprised with his analysis, because they asked him if in the design of the calendar, it would be good for Dimayor to consult the players.
“I don’t think the player has to be consulted. I don’t know what the fear of playing every three days is, in Europe it’s like that and 100 games a year are played, I don’t understand why we can’t do it. The coaching staff plans to play like this. The team must have a payroll to rotate and the player must be willing and prepared, capable and intelligent when it comes to playing or not being there, because there are no undisputed starters”, stated the Uruguayan forcefully.
Matías Mier added: “You have to understand that we are in the year of the Senior World Cup, also the Women’s Soccer World Cup. You have to take good care of yourself, rest and be optimal for each game”.
