After beating Paracas Central and getting a ticket to the semi-finals of the CCL, where they will face none other than Estudiantes, coach Fernando Zanerato analyzed the win and confirmed that a different week is coming at City.
“After Saturday, when Estudiantes won, it gave us extra motivation, because we wanted to take a step to be able to face them,” in this way, the press conference began.
After this line, he talked about the condition of football players after this achievement: “The players believe in themselves. They kill themselves in every training session and match. We achieved that, and we are in the semi-finals.” While he said in his analysis of what happened: “The virtues are order and patience, and we did not despair.” He stressed that this week will be about working to calm the party’s anxiety and keep our feet on the ground.
He added at the same time: “We have to deal with the negatives a little better to feel more comfortable, but I have no rebuke to the players, they did a great job.”
Gimnasia added its fifth victory in a row, and it was attended by a great presence, which is why he announced: “The moment is unusual and very clear. We have moved from a dark place to all this illusion. The match is a semi-final, but it has a flavor that is classic.”
For his part, Lobo will face Leon at home, and Lucio said: “We are happy to return to the jungle. It will be a beautiful match and we will enjoy it.”
On the other hand, he was consulted about the arbitration and the first goal for Gimnasia, where he replied: “We are not talking about the arbitration. We prepared for the match against Paracas, and we did not think about anything else.” He said of Manuel Panaro’s goal: “I didn’t see the match in the pictures. It looked like a good match to me. You can see it was limited because it took a long time to validate it.”
In the end, he expressed himself about City’s classic experience in this tournament: “Everything I can imagine is too small for what the fans should do.” While once again leaving a message to Tripirio: “We need to continue your support, we have a few more steps left.”
