The Deportes Tolima coach delivered his balance of the positive premiere at the ‘Opening’ 2023

“This was a beautiful victory, to the honor and glory of our Heavenly Father. Of course, we had to face some eventualities, such as putting players who did not correspond to their usual position as full-backs, as was the case with Arboleda and Esparragoza ”, indicated the strategist.

And he added: “That is why I rescue the disposition of both, taking into account that I had to resort to them to solve those complications that we had. I think they complied and they did it in the best possible way”.

Later, he maintained that “I must congratulate all the players, the entire human group, since they never declined. The rival goal was always sought, the possibility of winning. The team had possession of the ball, although I admit that at times we lost it”.

The ‘teacher’ stressed that “this is just the first game. We are doing well, but we still have things to correct, there are issues to adjust, and that is given by the competition and the work day by day. I am very happy, since a very good human group was put together; to compete, fight and be protagonists”.

Torres assured that “it was difficult to expect that in the first game we would be a little clock. We had bumps, especially in the second half, when América, with its players on the right foot, took the ball. That’s why they managed to tie, but Tolima got back on track, also the ball, we got back into the game, and in the end we got the second goal”.

The DT said that “we had seen America with the three central defenders in the preseason”, and for this reason “our players read the idea that was transmitted to them very well. At times what we planned was done, at other times not, but I think that in general we managed the rival’s strategy well”.

Finally, regarding the massive accompaniment of the public, he said that “I am very surprised. Seeing the almost full stands in the first game is very important. That helps us a lot, motivates a lot. It will never be the same to play with an unoccupied stadium, than with a full one. Thank God everyone was able to leave happy.”

feel supported

Forward Brayan Gil, author of the first goal against the ‘Escarlatas’, said at a press conference that “thank God, that comfort with the group that you tell me you perceived, is because of the confidence that everyone has given me.

Since I arrived; My teammates, the coaching staff and the fans have made me feel very good. Therefore, my best thanks is to score goals. Thank God we started off well, and we hope to continue like this.”

Finally, he said that “I had the dream debut, especially for those of us who officiated as center forwards. Thank God I was at the exact moment to control that ball and know how to kick for the goal”.
