Deportivo Cali is celebrating one of its worst campaigns in history in the Dimayor Betplay League, where it ranks nineteenth with 14 points in 17 games played and no longer chances of qualifying for the final home runs.
After obtaining the tenth star, the Sugar Draw began this 2022 with great expectation under the command of Venezuelan coach Rafael Dudamel, who came halfway in the last championship to put out the fire that left the Uruguayan Alfredo Arias exit.
However, things have not worked out this semester for the former coach of the University of Chile, who does not seem to find the north in this season at the helm of Deportivo Cali.
The bad results do not end in the Caleñas awnings that suffered a heavy blow during the week by Copa Colombia, when they fell in Palmaseca 3-1 against the modest Fortaleza of Primera B. Likewise, they were overcome this Sunday by league in their yard against Aguilas Doradas by the slightest difference with Anthony Vasquez's scoring.

The criticism does not stop for Rafael Dudamel's team and his pupils who cannot find a leaf turn and their only balm seems to be the Conmebol Libertadores where they had a good start by defeating Boca Juniors 2-0 and then falling on their visit to Corinthians in Brazil.
The truth is that this Deportivo Cali 2022 model, several fundamental pieces were removed from this Deportivo Cali that helped embroider the tenth star on the coat of arms of the Cali ensemble at the end of 2021. One of them was Harold Preciado, the striker returned to Cali after his time in Chinese football and was one of the pillars in the title after scoring 13 scores that helped him to get the scoring booty of the second half of the year.
Precisely, the goalscorer who currently plays for Santos Lagunas in Mexico ruled on the current situation of the Vallecaucano team and at the same time responded to those who ask for the departure of the former coach of the Venezuelan national team.
First, Harold Preciado used his official Twitter account to make this intervention in response to a user who asked for Dudamel's head, which generated various reactions among sugar fans who are not at all satisfied with the Cali campaign.
According to the striker's answer, Deportivo Cali's problem is not Rafael Dudamel, leaving a question mark whether the real problem is the level of some players on the Colombian champion's squad.
The publication reached a total of 428 “likes” and several users supported the former Cali player as well as others disagreed with what Harold Preciado said.
The former Shenzhen FC player from China, accumulated six goals with Santos Laguna who are in the 16th place of the Liga MX, and in his last performance he equaled a home goal against Queretaro.
For its part, Deportivo Cali will play next April 28 against Always Ready of Bolivia for the 3rd date of the Conmebol Libertadores and on Sunday, May 1, will visit Once Caldas in the league.
