Sporting Cristal could not sustain the good level that it had started against River Plate and ended up losing 4-2 in a match corresponding to the second round of the Copa Libertadores. Undoubtedly, this has generated annoyance among the football players, fans, and also people who are linked to football, such as the specific case of Elejalder Godos, who did not hesitate to blame Tiago Nunes.

The renowned journalist criticized the coach of the rimense team and asked him not to be "cheeky" because he believes that he could have done a better job. Moreover, he stated that he doubts a possible qualification for the Copa Sudamericana, since they must achieve important results and he does not see them celebrating.
"He says that he is in a project, in a process and that he looks at young players. Don't be cheeky, Tiago Nunes. Cristal has zero points and is almost eliminated. I don't even know if they will make it to the Copa Sudamericana because they have to beat The Strongest here and in Bolivia. They have to beat River here, so I'm talking about 9 points. If they don't wake up, goodnight to the shepherds, because this is talked about in favor of results," he assured on the "Show Deportivo" on Best Cable.
Likewise, Godos was very upset due to the statements made by the coach, who claimed that he is part of the process and asked for calm because the football players are understanding his idea of the game. The press man compared him to Roberto Mosquera and preferred the work of the national coach.
"Don't come and boss me around with the project. I mean, he is saying that he will stay for four years and Cristal will be relegated, at this moment, Mosquera's work is far better than Tiago Nunes'," he added forcefully.
Finally, it is important to mention that Sporting Cristal must move on as soon as possible and find a way to return to victory if they at least want to fight for a spot in the Copa Sudamericana, in case they do not qualify for the knockout stages of the continental tournament.
