Juan Cruz Real, technical director of the Barranquilla Junior, will play his most important match so far this season on March 16. At the Roberto Meléndez Metropolitan Stadium, the qualification for the next phase of the Copa Sudamericana will be played against La Equidad, which is why he asked the fans to massively encourage from the stands.
At a press conference, the Argentine helmsman explained that he is working with his leaders to give the fans of the Tiburón the illusion of the continental tournament, but, for this, it is necessary to feel sheltered in the stadium and that his rivals feel the pressure to play in a silver that is not theirs.
It is worth remembering that in the first leg, played at the Estadio Metropolitano de Techo, La Equidad and Junior tied without goals. Hence, the pressure on the return falls especially on the Barranquilla team, which, in addition, has another burden on it: having a luxury roster, one of the best in national football. Despite this, Cruz Real claims to have nothing to fear.
“We have been showing a local identity. We will try to continue with the same goal of being a difficult team in our square and taking advantage of everything that has to do with heat, humidity, which is difficult for when they come from high altitude. We will try to make ourselves strong, it is a 180-minute series that is equated. We will try to take advantage of the locality, we have had, thank God, the possibility of winning all the games at home for the league, and God by means of God we will be able to win this one of the tie”, he added.
For those led by Juan Cruz Real, remembered for leading América de Cali to their last local title, the challenge will be to permeate the solid defensive block of La Equidad, for which they could not score him in the first leg. This is how the strategist supported it:
The Argentine also referred to the possibility of playing from the start with the two renowned strikers (Miguel Ángel Borja and Fernando Uribe) that he has, therefore, so far, he has bet on only one '9′.
“We have to go out and look for the goal, but knowing that we have to think about the two arcs. With regard to lineups, we'll see which one is the best. So far Borja and Uribe have entered one by one, we will see what happens in the future,” he added.
