Junior and his technicians

Shortly before returning to Junior I spoke on my own initiative with the coach of the team and with a person close to the club to give them my opinion on why I thought Carlos Bacca could give them a hand to get out of goal problems and trumps .

I must confess that I did it before Miguel Borja left, who went through the same things as Bacca today: the lack of goals that directly affects Junior’s performance.

Bacca recently said he had had three technicians since his arrival. “You lose two or three games and people already want the coach gone, and that’s not the case.”

I agree with him, I’ve been coming up with that opinion for the last three or four years.

As for the line of technicians going through and through Junior, I would have liked to ask him about the responsibility that lies with players who don’t perform and who nevertheless always stay.

If Fuad Char moves to Arturo Reyes for the same reasons as always, Bacca would feel responsible for having played four games in this competition in which he barely scored a goal. That’s why he was brought in, he’s the commander of the offensive circuit. In the last 10 matches, the Rojiblanco club has not won and Bacca played in 9 of those 10 matches.

It’s an example with Bacca, who spoke on the subject, but that could be applied to all players, those who were there and those who arrived. It is that the technicians leave the teams because the players are not performing.

We returned with Bacca to the same subject of when Borja was there, of when ‘el Loco’ Álvez, Martínez Borja was there…

And we are already talking about fear, pressure and all those qualifications that we use in the circumstances that are already part of the rojiblanco landscape.

Junior is an attacking team. In the four league games he shot 62 times, 18 of which were on target. But he only scored 2 goals in 4 matches. Very poor.

Do you really believe that it is the technician’s responsibility, whether his name is Amaranto, Cruz Real, Comesaña or Reyes?
