América de Cali is on everyone’s lips after their spectacular Copa Sudamericana elimination against Alianza and all this, a team that was participating in an international event for the first time.
America’s crisis reached its peak with a 2-1 defeat against the Valledupar team and there is still no decision regarding technical changes, as César Farias is one of those chosen for that bad moment.
Given the situation the club is going through, the team’s former coach Lucas Gonzalez in an interview with ‘Habla Deportes’ gave his opinion about the crisis of the Scarlets and also reflected on the decisions of the leaders leading the way. Marcela Gomez was the one who decided to change the captain at the beginning of the season.
“We wanted to create an America that competes for titles, but she (Marcela Gómez) assumed and, with all her authority to set objectives, she thought that because of the way we played, we could not win titles. It will take more time and changes to coach us to do that.” “They’ll do it fast,” was Lucas Gonzalez’s main opinion.

Similarly, Gonzalez mentioned what America needs to prioritize to get good results in this crisis situation and said that promoting minor league players is a good process.
“America has to win and create a process in which to promote players from the mine and win it in a sustainable way and it is not a semester long. This happens in Colombian football and under the leadership of Tulio Gómez We wanted to return to fight in the Libertadores, but no one guarantees you titles, it is impossible,” Lucas González concluded.
