“Football is changing, almost all teams have experienced that (irregularity) in the tournament. We had restraint, calm. That was what we reflected today in a beautiful stadium to confirm ourselves within the eight… The teacher (Leonel Alvarez) He told us to enjoy, that was what was planned, the teacher emphasized that it was in our power to reverse the situation (not winning in six dates)… We have to go step by step, we cannot think about the final without having finished “all against all, we have two difficult games left, we want to finish with the most points and move up the standings.”he concluded.

The meeting between Ambassadors and Junior from Barranquilla ended up marked by the referee's actions, Jorge Duarte. The players of the Shark They all showed up at a press conference, and in the case of the blues, they also left their voice in the middle of their intervention with the media, with the goalkeeper's statement standing out. Alvaro Monterowho sent a message to the rival players for what happened after the goal Leo Castro that opened the scoring and the visitors' protest began.

“We are quite calm, even on the field when the situation arises, the first thing I say: 'is to get out of the context of what is happening with the other team.' Beyond that context, our team had to have serenity, the panorama changes for everyone, for the players, referees. It is a quite hostile context. Without knowing what the Junior boys could have said, personally and leading the group as well, it is a situation that cannot happen. I think that football is something to inspire people, more than anything the children who see you as an example, and what happened there has nothing to do with that. Beyond that, as I let Junior players know on the field as well, that is not being loyal to the game of soccer. Regardless of the errors that may occur, they often benefit you and often harm you. We have to know how to live with these types of situations and in the midst of all that context, try to be as prudent as possible with what you transmit.”he claimed Huntsman.

Already about the duel, the coach Alberto Gamero He launched: “The team is tired, but sometimes fatigue can be managed. I think they handled the fatigue, the group has to get used to it, much more so here in Colombia they have to play consecutive games, that's what they qualify for. We are in the Copa Libertadores because we did something good last year, we have to face it. The group ended, as I see it, like Junior, tired. A highly demanding match, Junior was an excellent opponent and the boys showed their courage to get these three points forward”.
