Deportivo Cali is not experiencing one of its friendliest years when it comes to delivering results both on and off the pitch. So far this semester of the BetPlay League, he has not won his first victory and is at the bottom of the table, even below Cortuluá, who has not had a good campaign either.
The Azucarero fans mainly point to one member of the team as the main person responsible for this crisis and he is the one who usually tends to take all the blame, the technical director. Tomorrow it will be two months since Mayer Candelo was appointed as the new helmsman of the Valle del Cauca team and since he took the reins of the team, he has not managed to get his squad to take off.
The most recent tie of the Caleños against Unión Magdalena by 2-2 sparked the debate on whether Candelo should stay longer as head of the Dean or if he should give way to a new coach. However, in the press conference prior to Cali's match against Atlético Bucaramanga, Candelo referred to the subject and left a rather striking and controversial phrase:
“With the directors, every day they talk about soccer, that one or the other arrives, but the reality is one: I am the coach of Deportivo Cali, whoever likes it likes it . We are here and what we do is think about improving, growing and that this moment that is not so beautiful for us can change with good results. We hope to have the first one on Sunday”.
Although it is true that in the tactical aspect there is enough material to cut, Mayer is working with a group of players who are aware of the institution's financial news , an aspect that although sometimes goes unnoticed, has a great impact on what can be get to produce on the grass and point at which the helmsman has no control.
In addition, he specified that in reality there have been more baseless comments that have been presented about his departure and about the attitude that the footballers have in the club. Read More...
