Before the start of the tournament, the Ristorantes team was well fortified and with category names Carlos Darwin Quintero He was a man in the team led by Lionel Alvarez.
Well, this Friday and ahead of the fight against the Millonarios, Quintero spoke on ESPN, where he addressed Pereira's current situation, his departure from the United States and the reason why he was not called up to the national team at the best moment. His profession.
At his peak he was not called up to the national team
“The pre-World Cup season was the best of my career and it hurt me not to be there as it came into action. There was never an explanation as to why it wasn't called. Those years in Mexico were very good and I felt I deserved it, but the coach will decide.
Leaving the United States
“It's simple, the coach's (Lucas Gonzalez) taste. After the match I was informed that they wanted a different type of winger so I told them I had a one year contract but they said why would I stay if they wanted a different type of player. “I knew it wasn't in the plans, I decided to leave and I told that to Mauricio Romero.”
Relationship with Lucas Gonzalez
“There's no problem with Lucas, he's a good guy, he has his ways and he's respected. That's the moment I didn't talk to Lucas…I didn't give him a bad face, I understood his arguments, this is football, suddenly he's not enchanted by what he can do. I I was in a position to bring out my best version, but I managed and made good achievements in the team.
News of his work and team at Pereira
“With coach Lionel (Alvarez) a team is formed, nobody trusts anybody. As captain I always say, we have to work, it is not won by one player, this is the value we added. We all work 100%, I give an example to the younger ones, things are not given. , we are all walking on the same page.
Analysis of Quadrangular A
“I see this home run as equal, Bucaramanga had a great tournament, the Millonarios and the junior teams are the teams in the finals. It's hard to give favorites, especially in events like this.
The best players in the league
“I like what Ayson Guzmán was doing, as well as Carlos Bacca and Hugo Rodalleca. “It's a league full of hierarchies.”
Changes I make to BetPlay League
“I will adjust the calendar to make our football more competitive and get the best from the teams. They play many games in a row, now they meet with the Libertadores games, they change the end date of the league, then they don't. In other leagues I have been in, because there is no change, when do I have a day off? Availability was already known and I didn't know when it would end and there were no breaks needed to give the fan the best football.
The reason is that the league has an overabundance of veteran forwards
“They are no longer looking for nines like before, they are looking for pivoting wingers or forwards. If we look at Colombia, there are no such attackers, especially among the youth. There are no such forwards from the base of the teams.
