Pullas against Osorio? America's New Defeat Against Medellin Unleashed Tulio Gomez's Anger

After the elimination in the previous phase of the Copa Sudamericana, América de Cali was again the victim of Independiente Medellín, this time, in matchday 11 of the 2022-I BetPlay League. The 'Escarlata' team fell 3-1 this Saturday against 'Poderoso' at the Pascual Guerrero stadium and increased doubts due to their irregular performance this season.

Those led by coach Juan Carlos Osorio ended up sinning because of their lack of effectiveness, because, for example, their goalscorer Adrián Ramos wasted two collections from the penalty spot. For its part, Julio Comeseña's team was more affective and took advantage of the defensive errors of the 'Red Devils' to take hold within the group of eight with 18 units.

Medellin hit the scoreboard fast with a score by Argentinian Adrián Arregui in the 2nd minute, after a deconcentration in America's defensive backward. Later, the young Juan David Mosquera, who caught his eyes in recent days because of a stomp he received from Osorio, was in charge of increase the difference in a counterattack of the 'Mighty' by minute 25 '.

'La Mecha' tried to react through Déinner Quiñones, who discounted with a shot from the apex of the large area (34'). However, the illusions faded a few minutes later, as Andrés Cadavid, captain of Medellin, led the third goal of his team. As well as the Copa Sudamericana duel, the Antioquia defender made a free shot collection, which was saved by goalkeeper Andrés Mosquera. However, on the rebound, Diber Cambindo took advantage and sentenced the match.

In recent times, it is well known that the top shareholder of America de Cali and Juan Carlos Osorio do not have a very good relationship. The poor results of the team coupled with some criticism of the coach of the institution's sports project have generated friction between the two sides. And on Saturday night, after the fall against Medellin, the leader 'Escarlata' expressed his anger on his Twitter account.

Although not saying names, Tulio published some messages that, according to several users, would be directly pointing to Osorio and his management: “The bad worker blames the tool, because mediocre people don't accept their own mistakes and blame others for their inability!! ”, he wrote in the first place.

And, just a few minutes later, he added: “God gives us the tools to achieve victory, but those who think they are wise do not know how to use them!”

Recall that, at a press conference, the coach from Risaralda gave explanations of the defeat, and assured that he is the one who takes charge of the criticism: “It seems to me that it is a day to talk about guilty and responsible, if our people in a percentage want a culprit, I assume the guilt, in the end in our country it is like this, provided that there is chaos and crisis, we must look for a culprit, not the reasons why”.

In addition, Osorio spoke about the problems that America has had as a result of the injuries of several players: “We ended up playing with a debutant, Brayan Vera, with a second debutant, Edson Acevedo, and we ended up playing with Brayan Medina, who hasn't played and started any games. Esneyder mena is my decision and it is a tactical decision, but the three previous ones are decisions forced by the physical situation of others.”

And finally he made it clear that the result of the match did not occur as part of a rotation, beyond the whistles he received after leaving the field: “We lose and we have two penalty options, I am not giving him the responsibility Adrián, what is being sought is a culprit and not the responsibility for what happened in the game, then I'm to blame for everything. We need to rethink everything, day to day, what we are doing well and what we are not doing.”

With this result, America is placed in square 12 of the BetPlay League with 15 points and a goal difference of zero. On the next date, to be played this Tuesday, March 22, it will be measured against Patriotas Boyacá as a visitor.
