After his victory against Equitythe DIM must add ten points to ensure its classification to the home runs, however, it will also have international competition in the Group Stage of the South American Cup 2024so many wonder if they will leave aside the local tournament to focus on the classification of the competition. CONMEBOL and given this, the Uruguayan coach Alfredo Arias He warned that he will aim for both championships.

“I have very brave players, a very good team, we just need to get to know each other a little more. Sometimes it is difficult for them to know what I want. The credit always goes to who plays, the important thing is always the players. We beat a very good team (La Equidad) that has been in the process for years. Without a doubt we want to go for both things like all of us who enter an international cup. We will have to see at the moment what we prioritize, but I have a great advantage, I have brave players. The main challenge is to improve the game. The game is integral, defending well from the front, building from behind better, not conceding goals in the first minutes and always trying to go in search of the three points.”exclaimed the helmsman.

The cycle of the Venezuelan coach Cesar Farías It has been stormy and good results finally seem to be coming, although the strategist emphasized the defensive errors they had.

“Of the last nine points we have seven, if I'm not mistaken. I don't want to be looking at the table too much, but we are close to eighth with all the difficulties we have had and with all the adversity. The important thing is that the team is alive. If we continue with the commitment there will be a time when we will be able to stabilize everything and thus compete for important things,” he said.

“We started doing everything we intended for the first few minutes and then we lost our compass a little. In half the time we were able to correct some things. They score two goals from corners, which is incredible. In my career I think this is the first time it has happened to me. It leaves a very bitter taste in me, because I have gone entire championships without conceding a goal from a corner and we work hard on that. We have to get rid of so much emotional burden at the top and dedicate ourselves to playing, because when we do we generate goal situations and we are stable in defense. This was not a defensive game for us, I think it was one of the worst we have played. However, we recovered from all that. They scored against us with two fixed tactical balls, which hurt a lot. But we also have a lot of players with a virus, which does not allow them to be at their peak. Despite all the difficulty we have, we added that it was the most important thing and we stay alive.”he added.
