Our players, Nilson Castrillón and Joel Graterol, analyzed what will be this exciting match of the 16th round.
"I'm happy with the squad the coach has been managing; we've been adapting very well. My adaptation to América was difficult at first because of injuries, but thank God I recovered. The coach always asks me to give the team balance and contribute with good crosses and good decisions."
"We know it's going to be a tough environment for us, they're going to make us feel that way, but we know that with our experience we can pull through. This will be an opportunity to show what we're made of and give the fans a victory," he added.
For his part, goalkeeper Joel Graterol spoke about what it means for him to experience these types of matches again:
"I really enjoy the Valle del Cauca derbies; I have very good experiences and fond memories. They are special and unique matches. Without a doubt, they are crucial for qualifying, for continuing to show consistency and cohesion in our play, in who we are as a team and what defines us. We have to be very focused and concentrated to win these big matches; that's what I remember has given us results," the goalkeeper stated.
