Quinteros: “This victory has huge value, against a team that is fighting at the top in the best league in the world”

Gustavo Quinteros, colo camp technician was satisfied with the 2-0 against Inter de Porto Alegre for South America . Much more than the result, what stands out the most is the dynamic imposed by the team.

“It was a game where the team was very solid, they never let the rival out clearly, we pressed well, with very tight lines. They didn’t find the spaces, we won most duels. They have fast and technical players. This solidity gave us confidence and the goals came,” said the Santa Fe player.

Also, he insisted that “We played a very good match, like some Libertadores. We hope to maintain this level of football against Everton and the second leg in Brazil, which is going to be a difficult match. They will come out with anything to turn the situation around. I attach great importance to this victory. Inter is a team fighting for the top spots in the best tournament in America and the world. They didn’t have as many situations, we were concentrated in all positions on the pitch.

consulted on the team physicals, a reality in the first half, the DT assured that “I don’t think that’s our problem. The rivals are playing too. Some players weren’t one hundred percent in important areas of the pitch. Today we are taking them back little by little. Pablo Solari’s case involved pubic discomfort; Suazo and Pavez who joined after some inconvenience. Some went to the national team, as in the case of Costa, who went on a long journey without training.

On the same point, he insisted that “when we started training and getting together, we were playing better. In Temuco we were at a very high level. We have to continue with the intensity we had today”.

In addition, the coach mentioned the option of the dosage for the national tournament: “We will try to play all matches with the best. After Friday, we have the possibility of having a fourth day of rest. This gives you one more day to recover. Now we only have three days, a little closer. It was a very difficult match, with a lot of physical friction, a lot of pressure, they are only on the pitch. There is psychological wear. We are going to rest a few players. I said it, our main objective is to win the national tournament”.

Regarding César Fuentes’ injury, he concluded that “it is difficult for him to be able to play in three days. I hope he is in Brazil, that it is only a contracture and not a fibrillar rupture”.

However, it wasn’t all good luck, as Quinteros complained about the Monumental’s low capacity: “There are no clear criteria regarding the public. We have such a big stadium and we can only accommodate 10,000 people. There are recitals where people are closer, closer. There should be a different test. They hurt us as a club, a football team, where there should be more people. I hope they change the decision to play with more people. Let’s hope that those responsible can change this measure which affects the club ”.

Another topic he addressed during the conference was the failed transfer of Pablo Solari at America, since “I told him that he has a level that you see day by day as he evolves. I have no doubt that he will end up in Europe. I told him that leaving now was very close, I know it was important for him and his family. But he has the level to achieve better football”.

On the same subject, the Argentine player clarified What “It was a special celebration, because a lot of things were said and the truth is that this goal increases my self-esteem a lot, because it comes from an injury and it gives me a lot of confidence. more affected is the injury not what was going on . I’ve had this pubalgia for a year” .
