One of lime and one of sand in Oriente Petrolero. The good news is that Ronaldo Sánchez will be able to be in the game this Thursday (7:30 p.m.) against Universitario de Sucre, at the start of the fifth date of the Apertura tournament, after serving two suspension games for the direct red card he saw in the second day against Aurora.
“Yes, my sanction has already been fulfilled, now I hope to be among the chosen ones by the teacher (Erwin Sánchez). One always working to be taken into account”, said Ronaldo Sánchez.
The bad news is that DT Erwin Sánchez will not be able to count on the Argentine striker Facundo Suárez due to the fact that he was expelled, due to a double yellow warning, in the match of the fourth date against Palmaflor, as a visitor.
Suárez has scored two goals with the refinery team jersey and he proved in these first games to be a useful player for his team, so his absence will be very sad against the chuquisaca.
Although for the DT of the albiverde box there are no starting players or substitutes in their squad and this was also said in reference to the fact that Oriente must face two tournaments starting next week: the Apertura de la División Profesional and the Copa Sudamericana.
“All the players from Oriente Petrolero, including those in the reserve, they know that they can be taken into account at any time. For me there are no substitutes or starters, I think they also understand that way, obviously there will be players who will have more minutes than others, but the importance of all the players in relation to our work is the same, one who has fewer minutes is so important like the one that has a lot of minutes”, said Platiní.
The DT also referred to his next rival, the ‘U’ of Sucre, which is second in the group A standings with eight points and undefeated, while Oriente is in fifth place with six points.
“Without a doubt, they have obtained good results. and we have to be aware of all that. We do not escape what we have to do in all the games and we are going to continue working to try to bring much more joy to the Orientista family”, said Sánchez.
Nor did he leave aside the analysis of the previous game in which Oriente lost (2-1) in his visit to Palmaflor last Saturday.
“The result was not what we wanted, We cannot blame the field or the referee, although we know the difficulties we are experiencing in certain aspects in which we cannot do anything, but the truth is that if our hearts were as warm as we had in the second half, maybe we would have brought another result”, emphasized the DT.
