On Sunday, October 9, 2022, Jorge Luis Pinto will debut as coach of Deportivo Cali within the framework of date 16 of the BetPlay II 2022 League. The 69-year-old strategist from Santander arrived just one year after Rafael Dudamel was appointed as coach of the Verdiblanco team and will win the final tournament 2021.However, for this year the occasion has a new peculiarity and that is that Pinto will take charge of the sugar squad in a game without an audience and against his patio rival in the classic day of the Colombian first division.Deportivo Cali will thus receive América de Cali around 5:35 pm with the illusion of achieving its second championship victory in a balance of nine defeats, five draws and a single victory (against Deportivo Pasto) that leaves the team partially last (box 20) with 8 points and a goal difference of -14.Although Pinto has had the opportunity to lead a large part of the most prominent clubs in the country, from the outset the next game of the five finals that the Cali team has scheduled in its schedule for the “all against all” phase throbs with tension. of the BetPlay II League 2022.Well, just hours before the Valluno classic begins, Pinto (in his second cycle as coach of the Caleño cast) spoke openly before the media at the Pance sports venue, Valle del Cauca.The experienced coach and champion coach with Cúcuta Deportivo in the Colombian first division recalled the past and the importance that the classic matches have had for him in his career.This Friday, October 7, a controversial phrase by Pinto Afanador attracted attention, which immediately went viral on social networks.The also national coach was dispatched against América de Cali to remember when he faced the Red Devils when they were involved in relations with the Cali Cartel and the economic power of drug traffickers Miguel and Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela.This was the intervention of the strategist:Below is the video of his comment on the Valle del Cauca classic in Colombia:Those statements left the door open for what will be the opening whistle at the Palmaseca stadium on Sunday.This Valle del Cauca classic that will not have the presence of fans due to the sanction of five dates in the Palmira square in view of the fact that the fans of the sugar club invaded the Doce de Octubre stadium in Tuluá on September 21 and Dimayor made the determination of sanctioning the club with 15 million pesos and the impediment of hosting fans in their home games.For the moment, this is how the table of positions of the championship for the second semester advances with Deportivo Cali and Cortuluá at the bottom of the table.If they win all their remaining games, Pinto's team will be able to add a maximum of 23 units, but it will not be enough to classify the eight in the semifinal home runs, since the eighth club (Unión Magdalena) already has 24 and became unattainable by 10 times champion of Colombia:
