Junior de Barranquilla is one of the teams that generates the most expectations in this BetPlay I-2022 League, as it was greatly strengthened and the names of the players make it one of the candidates forced to shine and fight for the title this semester.
That is why the 3-1 defeat against Atlético Nacional, another great entertainer, resonated in Barranquilla and throughout the country. Thus, the coach Juan Cruz Real will also be qualified date by date to see how he manages a squad with so many figures and how his team performs.
The Argentine coach acknowledged Junior’s mistakes in the first half against the purslane, and valued the reaction of his coaches in the second half.
“The first half wasn’t the best, but in the second half we adjusted and had a good reaction, without playing the way we wanted. The result was not in favor, but this is just beginning and the road is long. In three days we will play again and we must look for those points as a local”, Cruz Real commented in a press conference after the match at the Atanasio Girardot stadium, corresponding to the 2nd date of the championship.
Cruz Real warned Junior fans and the press in Barranquilla, because his idea of being the protagonist on any court and against any rival will make him take risks and be prone to defeats like the one on Wednesday in the capital of Antioquia.
“We want a leading team everywhere, we are going to run those risks until we grasp the idea. The big teams must have the personality to play in any place the same and I am confident that this group can do it”, he said.
