Atlético Nacional and América de Cali starred this Sunday in the most striking duel of matchday 15 of the 2022-I BetPlay League. With a stadium Atanasio Girardot to burst, the 'Verdolaga' team won 2-0 with scores by Danovis Banguero (12') and Jefferson Duque, from penalty (24'), and qualified early to the semi-final home runs.
Those led by Hernán Darío Herrera reached 33 points and, in addition, took the lead in the championship. Meanwhile, the 'Scarlet' draw, which a few days ago confirmed the arrival of Brazilian Alexandre Guimarães as its new technical director, will remain in the middle of the standings with 18 units.
Beyond the result, one of the situations that caught the attention of Colombian football fans was the presence of Juan Carlos Osorio on the sports scene to enjoy the aforementioned match. The Colombian coach, who was recently dismissed as coach of 'La Mecha', was sharing with several Nacional supporters at the entrance to the venue.
The videos spread through social networks showed that, Osorio went up to a fence where several fans were, who crowded to ask him for a photograph. In addition, amid the songs and tokens of thanks, the risaraldense coach missed a smile when one of the fans commented on his performance at the helm of América de Cali.
Let's remember that Osorio had a very successful first cycle with Nacional (2012-2015), as he won six titles, becoming one of the most renowned coaches in the institution. At the helm of 'Verdolaga' he reached three leagues, two Colombian Cups and one Super League. However, in his second term (2019-2020) he did not achieve the best results and left office with criticism from some sectors of the fans.
Juan Carlos Osorio's relationship with the followers and directors' Escarlatas' did not end in the best way. In addition to the points about the lack of results, the strategist 'Cafetero' did not like the inside of the institution because of the way in which he presented the parties. This was evidenced a few days ago when the team's top shareholder, Tulio Gómez, criticized him in an interview with the Caracol Radio program 'El Alargue':
“We with a line of three, almost all goals were equal, in a counterattack they catch the goalkeeper alone and they don't shoot him, so I told Pompilio: 'Please, a defense of four, don't go put a line of three that beat us'. When one jumps on the court he already enters with a point, one goes out to look for the two points, but it is that Osorio left open on his legs,” said the leader.
Under this scenario, the presence of Osorio in one of the boxes of Athanasio Girardot did not like much among the fans of America, who raised tough questions through digital platforms. “Juan Carlos Osorio deserves all the madrazos that are necessary, I always thought that his intention was to hurt America... and with this I confirm it... @tulioagomez”, said one of them.
Likewise, the event was a reason for users to spread memes, about the final defeat of America. “Today you can have a drink from the box and shout the goals. For many, the Joker is the best villain, for me he is Juan Carlos Osorio,” said another netizen on Twitter.
After leaving the leadership of América, the Colombian strategist sent his thanks to the fans, the managers “and especially to the players where it has been a privilege and an honor to work with them all.” Likewise, he added that “I am calm and I am calm because of my family, for my people, the club, the sports project and for myself. Life is like that, because of the sports project I feel sad, because we couldn't achieve what we wanted, but I'm calm because I gave my 100%.”
