"We are the first ones who want to get out of this situation and we can't find words to describe this moment," Espínola said, referring to the elimination from the Copa and the defeat in the Apertura.

The full-back also emphasized: "It is very difficult to accept everything that happened, and it affects a lot, but we are aware that only by working we will get out of it."

Cerro is 5 points behind the leader Libertad (16), to which Espínola referred: "We haven't collected 3 points in 5 games. I think we started well, showing the game that the coach (Arce) wanted, but the blow from the Copa affected us, it was tough, but we are strong to get out of this."

If there was dialogue between the team and the coaching staff after the defeat against General, the full-back added: "We didn't talk about anything, in the heat of the moment you shouldn't say things."

Meanwhile, he confirmed that the club bought 60% of his pass from General Díaz and that he signed a 4-year contract with Ciclón. The team trained behind closed doors yesterday, aiming for the game against Nacional, at the Arsenio Erico, on Friday, 6 at 20.15.
