The main novelty that Delfín presents to face Fuerza Amarilla today is the return of Carlos Garcés, a forward who has been out of the field for a month due to a tear in the middle third of his right adductor.
With the return of Garcés, one of the tournament's top scorers, the team led by Uruguayan Guillermo Sanguinetti is complete to face the orenses, the last team to defeat Delfín at home (on November 26 of last year).
Against Fuerza Amarilla, Delfín will seek to return to winning ways after four draws and one loss in their last five games, which prevented them from securing the title without playing finals.
Garcés highlights his desire to play again, but even more so with an eye on the two finals against Emelec, against whom the cetacean team has achieved one victory and three draws.
"Our goal is to be champions and we would like the definitive match to be at home," said the manabita, who hopes that the results are in their favor to end up playing the final match at the Jocay Stadium.
Similarly, in a statement released by the club itself, Garcés clarified that for now, he is only focused on the final and denies any negotiations or affiliation with Emelec, the rival in the final. "I am focused here. I have a contract with the club until 2020. Only Delfín can negotiate me," he emphasized through the bulletin.
In an interview for radio Huancavilca, Garcés said: "There are people with bad intentions who say that we were in (Nassib) Neme's suite (blue executive) and it is not true. We were in the suite of the Delfín president." Regarding the rumors linking him with Emelec, he said: "If the Emelec thing happens, I would have to talk to the Delfín executives." (D)
