Pablo Peirano: ‘We feed the hope, but each game is a new story’

The emotional moment. “The first half, as all the games are being presented, begins with a lot of emotion, with a lot of excitement for everything that is being played. That’s why the first minutes are more difficult, more physical, in the second half you have to maintain that, maintain the intensity. We corrected some movements. “Football is about moments, the game has them and we take advantage of them.”

The work of Daniel Torres. “With respect to Daniel and those midfielders who play on the second line, they have the obligation to contribute on the offensive side when the team plays on the wings. Daniel, Juan Pablo, Johan, Yilmar have stepped into the area more than once, as has Jersson. when he has played in that position. I like that the player lets himself go, expresses himself on the field and Daniel has that possibility of reaching the goal. Juan Pablo also scored a goal in the Cup. It is a characteristic of the team, that the midfielders reach the goal. area. Daniel is a player who insists on the game and is a good contagion for everyone.

What changed from the game in Manizales to this one. “What we are looking for is a variant on the offensive side, to play more on the wings than in the center. In the tie we insisted on the inside and we couldn’t penetrate that defense. We looked for spaces to play two against one and be able to go a little deeper “At work we have the answer.”

The illusion of the title. “We feed the hope, in every aspect, but each game is a new story. We don’t think about the end but about the next game, this is game by game. We all get excited, I can’t deny it, but we can’t imagine that we already have the three points of the weekend”.

What happened to Jersson González. “Jersson was concentrated, he came with a little congestion, when he got up he didn’t feel well, he had a spike of fever and we decided that he wouldn’t make it to the stadium, we sent him home. Since we had more players concentrated and since it’s Bogotá, with the flu issue, we replaced it and it went well.

What needs to improve to fight for the title. “The teams are always under construction. During the week different things always happen. There are always things to improve, to accommodate, there are moments for the footballers too. Continuous improvement is something that we incorporate. The things that we believe we should continue taking reference to We emphasize, we always make constructive criticism”.

The level of José Erik Correa and Elvis Perlaza. “Erik is a player with a lot of experience, he has played in many clubs, abroad for most of his career. The player already has the reading of what is happening, we needed freshness in the attack, he knows how to play with a nine in the area, he knows playing with a faster partner. Elvis has a very good tournament, very regular, each match shows a better level, with high competition he shows a higher level, he is a different player, with the competition and the demand the player grows, there the player’s level is much higher.”
