Santiago Solari will have everything to succeed with America, as pointed out by José Antonio García, who a few years ago hired him as a footballer for Atlante
This Tuesday, Santiago Solari was announced as the coach of America, the Argentine will have his first experience as a strategist in Mexico, although he already had a step as a player at Atlante from 2009 to 2010.
The main architect of this Solar came with the Catalans, its former owner, José Antonio García, spoke exclusively ESPN from the Solari pass with “Iron Colts”.
“I went to a game in Argentina and saw him play, I immediately realized that he still has a lot of class, that he wastes a lot of talent and I immediately thought of bringing him to Atlante, through Federico Vilar and his representative, I was able to have a I interviewed him to go to dinner and suddenly I offered him the proposal to come to Atlante, I spent a few more days in which I closed the business, I realized that it is a very polite guy, who really writes very well, at one point he wrote articles for the newspaper The countryIn Spain, I logically convinced him to come to Atlante for the part of living in Cancun and the paradise that that city represents, but in the end I think he contributed to the team. “
Garcia acknowledged that Solar he helped put Atlante on the international map and believes that America will gain a lot of prestige with the arrival of the former Real Madrid manager.
“Solari is a bet from someone who has a lot of experience and an international name, this means that in world football everyone is talking about America, today in South America and Spain everyone already knows that Santiago Solari has taken Club America reins and this is also important, for me it is always important to change and refresh things, these situations that occur when you are not afraid to succeed, it is important to give the opportunity to new values and not think about the criticism or the adverse results, I think Santiago Baños has a very good performance.
The former Atlante manager applauds this America Refresh the pack of Mexican football coaches and consider that Solari will have no problems adapting and succeeding with the Eagles.
“This is about the fact that you don’t know that Mexican football is stupid, at the end of the day you will have people to help you give you some information and update it, but football is the same everywhere, you play 11 against 11, with a ball round, With a good field, in Mexico we have very good facilities, so there is no reason why you should not do a good job, what I applaud is to risk doing things differently and at the same time trying to do things good looking success. “
“Solari knows Mexican football because he is a football student and logically he is aware of what is happening, it must be clear that football is universal, for example you realize that there are technicians who do not speak Chinese and train in China, or technicians who are in Qatar or England and do not speak their mother tongue, if there will be some knowledge questions that if I bring you an experienced assistant will help you make the adaptation faster, but I have no doubt that I will be stuck with Santiago Baños and his hand in training, inter-team and rival analysis will help him a lot, “said Toño García in a discussion with ESPN.
Finally, Toño Garcia highlighted that America They will have to adapt to a coaching style very different from the one they had with Miguel Herrera on and off the field.
“Miguel Herrera He put the bar very high, he is classified as the most winning coach of the club, it is true that his temperament was sometimes criticized, but that temperament made him reach the national team, made him be in a World Cup, he could transmit and spread that passion that He has, today, in fact, give a radical change, because Santiago Solari looks from the beginning as a model of Italian catwalk, always dressing very well and now he will have to pass on his knowledge to his subjects , is something similar to what is lived in school, because when the teacher shows you that you know and are interested in the class you are studying, for me the basic rules is to have an excellent dressing, that the coach is always frontal, so to earn the respect and trust of its managers. “
“I can tell you that with Santiago Solari, it’s as if you’ve heard Jorge Valdano or Ángel Cappa talk, but I think Santiago is more experienced and up-to-date, he has a philosopher’s note and I think he will apply all this to the dressing room when the margin tactics and field work, I think there Santiago Baños will be a very important part with him, because he is a guy who was a player and now is the president of the sport, he needs to know how to get together and have a lot of communication with he and I think they will do it in a good way and I feel that there will be a good balance between the board and the coaching staff “, José Antonio García concluded for ESPN.
