Deportivo Cali added a new defeat in the league, this time at home against Millonarios with goals from Diego Herazo and Eduardo Sosa. Coach Rafael Dudamel analyzed the performance of his team in the game and spoke again about the arbitration.
“The group is beaten, because it feels ashamed today because of the results that we are not being able to achieve, but it is a mature group, it is a squad with a lot of character and what I have exclusively asked of them is that they have a raised face, because if there is something What these boys have is the moral authority to go out and show their faces, and the moral authority is not only given to them by the title they have achieved, but also by the way they train and how they deliver, because if there is something they cannot criticize, it is that they give themselves to the maximum, then we can play well, we could play better, but the dedication, the effort, the sense of belonging of each footballer who makes up the Deportivo Cali squad, their professionalism and their courage to defend are never disputed the institution”.
He mentioned that the problem is not only one of reinforcements: “Today we could bring one more footballer in the position that we decided, it would be needed, but this does not change one more footballer, this is not a question of individuality, it is a question of football moments , just as 3 or 4 months ago we were all sweet and everything did not go well, today we are not flirting so to speak”.
He recognized the victory of the rival and criticized the arbitration: “we very gallantly recognize the good victory of Millonarios, a great team, what has won well, we have no excuses, but if I can also say something, it is that I am not liking the way Since they are groping us, they are groping us! They annulled a goal the other day against Tolima in the Superliga, which was legitimate. Today, for the slightest action, they warned us and they are groping us, so we have to be very careful. This is not a little bit for each one, what arbitration cannot lose is impartiality! Impartiality! It is the only thing we ask for and today we feel groped”.
Then he explained the change of Christian Mafla: “it was for prevention, a contracture in his adductor, I did not want to give myself the luxury of risking it more, remember that he barely accumulated a week of training and began to compete and these are the consequences of what has happened to us to face, signings for the tournament and having a good element on the field like Kevin (Velasco) who once again did fantastic in that position and having to seek to be more offensive, so we avoid taking risks there in prior communication with the medical staff”.
