Hernán Darío ‘Bolillo’ Gómez arrived this Wednesday in Barranquillato sign a contract as technical director of the Junior until December 2023.
Speak ‘Bolillo’
The ‘Bolillo’ takes over as shark coach with the team in last place in the league standings, and eliminated from international competitions this season.
However, it seems that the Junior crisis does not scare Gómez, since he has plenty of experience and knows what it is to put out fires.
“I am lucky that whenever I have been called it is to solve problems. It happened to me in Medellín, which was last, and we put together a team and left a base; in another era the DIM was wrong and we reached a final; I arrived in Ecuador and Panama with problems, and I am here to solve problems”, accepted the ‘Bolillo’.
“In Barranquilla I feel at home, I had very good times in which I earned a lot. Directing Junior is a dream, which sooner or later came true. Any coach is motivated to direct Junior, not just me. The time has come for me”, added the World Cup coach in 1998 (Colombia), 2002 (Ecuador) and Panama (2018).
The last place of the Junior “is a position that is not normal, something has to be happening. The challenge is to have Junior in the positions that he should be. Work has been done to get him up there, so we’ll see what’s happening (…) It’s very different to see the team on television than to see me with the players and find out what’s happening. Junior has lost games that should not have been lost, something is happening. We are going to see why he is not defining himself ”.
And he announced that “you have to do everything possible to put the team on top, I will do everything that has to be done.”
“The fans always showed me affection when I came with the National Team, so I hope they support the team”was the request to the fans.
