The Colombian footballer of the Cruz Azul Machine, Díber Cambindo, recently stated that his sporting development within the Liga MX has been quite complicated since he arrived in Mexico; Despite having managed to generate a change from criticism to praise within the celestial fans, the South American forward stated that foreign players suffer a lot due to the high demands they must meet.
These statements were made by the international during an interview offered to Gol Caracol, where the coffee grower highlighted that his start in the Mexican tournament with the cement producers turned out to be more difficult than he thought. However, he has become an important piece within the organization that struggles to add victories in the current Apertura 2023 tournament.
“Football here is too fast, there are counterattacks every time. I am at altitude, the city where I am. Also the quality of the passes, the games are very demanding there. And out there in Colombian soccer, there were games that did lend themselves to being played that way, but obviously not all games are played in the same way. On the other hand, here all the games are played in practically the same way, which is to attack, attack, attack. So I was not physically well yet and that’s why I also arrived here with a lot of uncertainty,” he expressed.
“I arrived with many doubts. I also arrived with my head down because it is not easy to come from your country, arrive in another country and be received the way they received me, they received me with a lot of criticism because I was not the player they were expecting or that they wanted. . And many people here, journalists are also quite harsh with foreigners. On the other hand, in Colombia we have this mania of loving foreigners, but here they do treat us like rats, but well, thank God, little by little I have been overcoming that,” Cambindo added.
During the nine rounds that the Cruz Azul Machine has played in the current Apertura 2023 tournament of the Liga MX, the Colombian striker has managed to add a total of four goals and one assist to show that he came with everything to support his team; This thanks to the rapid adaptation process that he has had with the squad.
“I arrived here in Mexico, to one of the biggest clubs here, very media-heavy, both the press issue, where they are on top of you all day long watching what you are doing, what you are eating, whether you went out or not. So all those things also made it a little difficult,” he highlighted.
“Thank God, the important thing is that I am now with my family, that it was also not easy to get to a country and that in training you were not going well, the games were not going well for you and you arrived home and did not Having that backing, that support, like to get out of the focus of football, it also cost me a little because of that. When they arrived I calmed down a little more, I began to relax more, to start training better, in a good way. And little by little things were changing their environment. And I think that is why the good present is due,” he concluded.
