translated from Spanish: Rafael Dudamel: “This group has an incredible level of conviction”

The school cast, which added its second consecutive triumph, was benefited today by the expulsion within 30 minutes of Lukas Soza.At the time of analysis, the strata of Venezuelan origin declared that “it has been a well-contested triumph, but deserved for this group that has an incredible level of conviction. One as a coach cannot fail to be proud of that competitive character.” We know how much we have to improve, and we want to improve and search. That is not easy especially in competitive football like Chile, but we are convinced that in this line of competitiveness we will continue to climb against wind and tide. Of course, don’t think that because we won today I do speak. We wanted to seek peace of mind, we have always been respectful of the media, and from peace of mind give a more correct message,” he added. In the same line, the other goalkeeper noted that “against wind and tide is to play well, regulate and be able to do better. Of the sporting adversities we have encountered with the injuries of some. I mean the sporty, the environment is that, just the environment. Our footballers have demonstrated that union and that level of family that is required to be able to set ambitious goals and achieve them.” Finally, consulted by Gonzalo Espinoza’s departure at 50′ by Nahuel Luján, Dudamel explained that “it was to avoid balancing the actions (laughs). He was the only player we had on the warning. We know about Gonzalo’s competitiveness, character and struggle in half. And taking advantage of that emotional circumstance, in which the opponent tried to exert some pressure on the referee, we looked for how to take advantage of their numerical inferiority. That’s why we move on to 4-4-2.”
