Two players with different characteristics and one real goal: to end 2020 with a new star in your CV. Fabian Sambueza, in Santa Fe and Yesus Cabrera, in America, they are responsible for the ideas of both teams, although they also contribute with sacrifices and goals.
Sambueza, born in Neuquén (Argentina), already knows what it means to be a champion in Colombian football, although with a different shirt from Independiente Santa Fe. In the second half of 2018, he returned to the Olympics with Junior from Barranquilla and then won the 2019 Superliga with the same club, before dressing in a red shirt with white sleeves.

He came to Bogota at a difficult time for Santa Fe, when he flirted with the basement of the championship. It was also important to get the team out of the hole and fight.
Sambueza concludes his contract with Santa Fe this year and everything indicates that he will return to Junior. However, the Argentine, who also had an internship at Deportivo Cali, does not want to leave empty-handed.
“When I arrived in the country, I started in Cali, it was a good atmosphere with guys who wanted to succeed and when you feel loved, everything is easier because it gives confidence and peace. Now the same thing happened to me in Santa Fe, I feel the support of the people when I did well and badly “, Sambueza declared for Win Sports after the quarantine, which stopped the local championship for six months.
Sambueza’s contribution to Santa Fe was important throughout the year: he has five goals and seven assists. However, he had two difficult moments: was eliminated in the match in which America eliminated them from the Columbia Cup and also in the first leg of the League semifinal against Equidad. That’s why he is looking for revenge in a complicated situation for Santa Fe, in which he will have to win 3-0 in the first leg.

In that game in which America had a good advantage, Yesus Cabrera was fundamental: he scored the first goal and scored the second. But since the game ended on Sunday at Pascual Guerrero, Jesus has not stopped asking for the restraint of all those who carry the shield with the devil in their heart.
Not defined, we got a good advantage, but Santa Fe is the best team of the year and defeated several teams at home
“It’s not defined, we have a good advantage, but Santa Fe is the best team of the year and has beaten several teams at home, then you have to be very careful. When the teacher arrived, most of them didn’t believe him, but we believe, that’s why we are where we are “, Cabrera declared for Win Sports.
In the team that was champion a year ago with the Brazilian nationalized Costa Rican Alexandre Guimaraes in the technical bench, Cabrera was not an undisputed starter and, in fact, between the semifinals and the final of that championship, out of the eight games, seven started on the bench. However, it was enough to contribute with three goals and three assists.
The arrival of Juan Cruz Real at the American bank meant a new position for Cabrera, born 30 years ago in Cartagena. The Argentine DT set up a 4-3-3 in which Jesus starts from the first row, together with Luis Paz, to show his whole development there. Although it has less assistance than in 2019 (one) and the same goals, it has contributed with sacrifices and a lot of leadership.

“Thank God I found consistency in the game, in this position I felt very good, but the end of all this is for America to be champions and then we will see what has been done individually, “he said.
Cabrera has learned to make the best decisions at both times
Outside, as well as inside the field, and that is why he is essential in Cruz Real’s scheme.
“Keeping the joy in the group was very important to get here. MYour colleagues sometimes tell me I’m a curmudgeon when we’re in the game, “he said.
Sambueza and Cabrera each have a star in their CV. There are 90 minutes left to find out which of the two will have to update their registration. The advantage is for the American player. But in the end anything can happen.
