Hernán Torres is not usually very expressive, but his words showed the emotion of qualifying for the final of the league for the third consecutive tournament. His team, Deportes Tolima, will play against Nacional for the first star of 2022.
Torres thanked his players for their efforts, who even came, in some cases, to enter the field dragging injuries, to be in the fight for the title, and he did not forget Gabriel Camargo, the club’s largest shareholder, who has been essential for him to have been able to complete 400 games as coach of Tolima this Thursday.

Torres revealed that several players have acted injured
“There is a fighting, committed and winning human group that wants to continue looking for big goals. A human group involved in what we have, players who are injured, who play with pain, with difficulties but who put their chests to the breeze, who are not daunted: Moya Mosquera, Cataño, Ibarguen, Caicedo, Ramírez, Cuesta with a injured finger played the entire home run. That is merit and we have to recognize it”, revealed Torres.
The Tolima coach recounted the keys to getting back into the fight for a title with Tolima: “Three finals in a row in the League, one in the Cup and one in the Super League, that’s five finals. It is a teamwork. I cannot say that I am a great sage, that is a lie. We have a strong team that sticks up for all of us, that fights and gets the results game after game. We have had many difficulties nobody imagines what we have experienced, but this group has known how to recover from all the adversities and all the things that football has. This team has been humble, quiet: grind, work and get results”, he explained.

The DT of Vinotinto y oro was given a recognition before the game for having reached 400 games as coach of the team. my career as a footballer and as a coach; directing 400 games is not easy. We have seen a lot of water pass under the bridge. It gives me great joy that they have recognized me.”
“I can’t say that I’m a great wise man, that’s a lie. We have a strong human team that sticks up for all of us, that fights and gets the results, game after game.”
Torres highlighted what Sergio Mosquera had done, who had not played for three months and ended up scoring the qualifying goal. “Mosquera is something… I don’t know, he’s incapacitated and he told me ‘I play’. He stood up, he had hardly done any work on the field and he scored the goal that put us in the grand final. That’s why I’m talking about everyone’s sacrifice, Moya played several games with a leg problem, Quiñones himself had muscular problems, but they are players who want to achieve their goals”.
Torres dedicated the victory to Gabriel Camargo, who sent a message to the squad before the game that took him to the final. “The important thing is the human group we have, it has been vital. It is a solid human group and has a lot of hierarchy to play these instances. This merit goes to Senator Gabriel Camargo, who was the one who formed this human group since December of last year; We dedicate this victory to him from his sickbed because I know this makes him very happy. Before the game he sent us a message and today we are fighting for big things. Sometimes we forget about him and he is the manager of this whole project”.
