The CD of Bucaramanga's criticism of Colombian football: “You don't play, you throw yourself on the floor”

Although Atlético Bucaramanga won against Cortuluá at the close of the 15th date of the BetPlay League, its coach expressed his discomfort with the Colombian football style of play where the loss of time before the show takes precedence. Armando 'Piripi' Osma explained the altercation he had with the technical assistant of the rival team and assured that the loss of time is not something his team will be looking for.

“I told them in my team we will never make time, even if we are winning 3-0, we don't make time. It's a show, people pay to see a show. In Colombia, the way matches are won has to be changed. In Colombia, football is not played; they throw themselves on the floor,” said the coach quite disgusted by the constant interruptions of play by the team 'corazón del Valle'.

About the clash held with Manuel Suarez's assistant coach, Armando Osma said that he asked them to continue bouncing just after scoring 3-2, the final result of the match, a sign that it was not well seen by the coach and ended up in the discussion:

For the date 15 Liga Betplay 2022, there was a match of many goals and triumph by Bucaros by 3 to 2 over Cortuluá. The goals of the match for the home were scored by Sherman Cardenas (36′ 1T), Cristian Blanco (45′ 2T) and Julian Millan (34′ 2Q, against). While the away goals were made by Feiver Mercado (5′ 2T) and Julian Millan (11′ 2T).

A highlight of the match was Cristian Blanco's goal in the 45th minute of the second half. After receiving an assist from Sherman Cardenas, the defender placed her on the right post and down. Impossible for the archer! The figure of the meeting was Cristian Blanco. The Bucaramanga defender was important because he scored a goal, recovered 3 balls and cleared 15 dangerous balls.

He was also key in the Alfonso López stadium, Sherman Cardenas. The Bucaramanga steering wheel stood out against Cortuluá as he scored a goal, gave 27 correct passes, stole two balls and kicked five times in the goal.

It was a game with many fouls and numerous interruptions. There were many admonitions: Luis Caicedo, Jaison Mina, Maikoll Herrera, Ronaldo Tavera, Johan Cristancho, Carlos Henao, Sherman Cardenas, Jhonatan Perez and Michel Acosta.

Bucaramanga coach Armando Osma set up a 4-5-1 formation on the pitch with Juan Camilo Chaverra in the goal; Cristhian Subero, Michel Acosta, Carlos Henao and Cristian Blanco on the defensive line; Kevin Pérez, Johan Cristancho, Sherman Cardenas, Ronaldo Tavera and Johan Caballero in the middle; and Dayro Moreno in the attack.

For their part, those led by Manuel Suarez stood with a 4-5-1 strategy with Ernesto Hernández under the three sticks; Jhonatan Pérez, Jaison Mina, Julian Millan and Andrés Rivera in defense; Alexis Castillo, Juan Manuel Valencia, Luis Caicedo, Maikoll Herrera and Johan Bocanegra in the middle of the court; and Feiver Mercado in the front.

The referee appointed for the match was Éder Vergara Lora. The 'Bucaros' will visit Junior on the next day, while Cortuluá will visit Once Caldas at the Palogrande stadium. The home is in fifth place with 24 points, while the visitor reached 16 units and is placed in fourteenth place in the tournament.
