The pain of his absence is not only experienced at Deportivo Cali, now his current team misses him like no one at the beginning of the Mexican league.
Argentina’s Favio Álvarez, Puma’s midfielder, admitted on Thursday that the cats lack strength because they miss the goals of their injured compatriot Juan Ignacio Dinenno.
“There are decisive players in the area, they showed him at the last tournament, Carlos (González, Paraguayan) is no more and Juan was unlucky to get injured and I hope he will return soon because we need him, we are missing him” , the admitted midfielder.
For Clausura 2021, puma lost led by Paraguayan González, a striker who scored 28 goals for Puma between 2018 and 2020, and who signed with Tigres UANL. The Argentine dinenno, scorer for the cats in the Apertura 2020 with 10 goals, suffered a muscle injury in his left thigh on the second day of the 2021 Clause and is still recovering.
Therefore, Álvarez urged his teammates to improve their level to generate more offensive options; Puma accumulates four games without scoring. “The functioning of the team needs to improve, because we don’t create situations and anyone who plays for us will not have options. After Mazatlan we haven’t scored, but I know we will improve, but we have to do it individually first,” he said.
The next day, Pumas defeated Mazatlán 3-0, the only match in which he scored; in the first they drew 0-0 with Tijuana, in the third they lost 2-0 to Querétaro, in the fourth they drew goalless with Atlas and in the fifth they lost to Monterrey 1-0.
“The responsibility is ours. We didn’t give the results we wanted, but we have to be calm because this is just beginning, we are almost the same as the last tournament, we have injured players. We have to be in full force to reverse the bad time. “
