With 27 goals, striker Atlético Nacional chronicle and summary BetPlay League 2022 | Colombian Soccer | Betplay League”>Jefferson Duque It was quite a ‘fierce’ in the rival networks in 2021. But even so, the veteran scorer from last season of Atlético Nacional still does not win the affection of all the fans, who in a certain number not only ask for his departure from the starting lineup, but of the institution.
Although in 2022 He already has 2 conquests in 5 appearancesin which he has added 344 minutes, the striker continues to be the object of all kinds of insults on social networks, from those who consider that his contribution, beyond the many, is minimal from the collective.
“I ask myself that same question, I am a good professional, I work in the best way, I compete and I try to contribute goals to the team. I don’t know why the comments of a certain sector of the fans “Duque commented at the club’s most recent press conference, in which he was asked about this painful situation.
“There are others who support me. We have to live with criticism and praise, I am focused on my work and I want to be champion again with Atlético Nacional”added the attacker, apparently annoyed with the remarks of the people regarding his work.
If it weren’t for those 2 annotations, the ‘king of cups’ would have 4 points less than the 10 he currently haswhich places him before this Friday’s match (8:10 pm) against Alianza Petrolera, in second place on the standings, 2 behind the leader, Deportes Tolima.
“As a big team that we are, we have the obligation, at least, to win at home. I personally work and give my best”said the 34-year-old striker who has become a benchmark for the squad.
“It hurts us to lose, but we also have to recognize that the rivals prepare and are strong. You have to follow the idea of the game, I dedicate myself to my work, I seek to score. I invite people to continue believing, that will help us a lot”he stated.
For Duque, you have to continue looking for the rival goal: “We would worry more the day we don’t materialize any scoring situation. We always aim to be more efficient”.
And he said he was not afraid of being relieved, as happened, during the visit to Deportivo Pasto, when coach Alejandro Restrepo opted for the ownership of Ruyery Blanco: “We must all be prepared for when the teacher decides to rotate. We work very hard every day.”.
