Diego Valdés has the opportunity to become a cornerstone for coach Santiago Solari, as America lacked forcefulness in the last Liguilla
Diego Valdés is one of the bombs of America for the Clausura 2022. The Chilean attacker arrived from Santos And now he can be the cornerstone of the scheme of Santiago Solari, the Azulcrema helmsman, and the one who looks to the 27-year-old for the answers to the lack of definition in the elimination phase.
“Santiago likes these forwards who are not only from the area, who know how to move throughout the attack front. It will be a good reinforcement for America and what Santiago Solari intends, “said Omar Labruna, an Argentine coach who debuted Valdés in 2012, to ESPN Digital.
“For Santiago Solari’s team it will be an important reinforcement and I know the mentality of Santiago because I had it in my step when I was with Ramón Díaz in River,” added Labruna for this portal from Argentina.
Labruna managed Audax Italiano, of the Chilean league, from 2011 to 2012 and it was in September of last year when Valdés was promoted from the lower categories for the Chilean first team. So, the South American helmsman did not hesitate to give it a try.
“Diego always came from very low in the minor divisions of Audax where there is good training work. When he got to the first division he already had scoring qualities, mobility, playing with his back, two touches away and through the years today he is in an extraordinary moment ”, said Labruna.
“At 27 years old, now that he is going to America, it is a very important club. He is a good professional who not only scores goals, but also assists his teammates, ”concluded the South American, who welcomed Valdés’s work in Mexican soccer.
Diego Valdés arrived in Mexico with Morelia in the Apertura 2016. During his time with the Purépechas, he became one of the fans’ favorites and was there until 2018, because for the Clausura 2019 he went to Santos, a club from which he arrives from America.
