Tulio Gómez piles pressure on Jorge Da Silva: "We have to win the title" This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence. You can read the original version in 🇪🇸 here. Tulio Gómez, the majority shareholder of América de Cali, gave an interview to the program Deportes sin Tapujos, and addressed several current issues of the Scarlet club. Advertisement In particular, the directness of his statements regarding the demands on the coach, Jorge 'Polilla' Da Silva, caught attention. "Results keep coaches in their positions" Tulio Gómez pointed out that the Uruguayan coach has a contract until July. "Results keep coaches in their positions and we must become champions" he assured, putting a bit of pressure on the coach. This Sunday, América de Cali hosts Independiente Medellín at Pascual Guerrero, where they will seek to remain leaders and secure the invisible point ahead of the final quadrangulars. Two days later, they will play for a spot in the round of 16 of the Copa Sudamericana, also hosting Racing from Uruguay at home. Advertisement "We had to play on Sunday for the League because Conmebol has the Pascual and they didn't lend us another stadium," Gómez clarified, taking the opportunity to talk about the dream of having their own stadium: "The América stadium project requires managing funds, for now, I don't think we can have it in the Centenary year". Finally, Tulio Gómez spoke about some players. "We are happy," he said about Juan Fernando Quintero and recalled that "he has a three-year contract," so it is expected that he will continue to strengthen his position in the team. He also spoke about Rodrigo Holgado, who might miss some quadrangular matches due to a possible call-up to the Malaysia National Team, although Tulio Gómez expressed: "We are trying to prevent him from going, because it's a friendly match". 📸 JOAQUIN SARMIENTO - AFP or licensors

América de Cali is already classified for the finals of the Liga Betplay 2025-I, and has just added a win against Unión Magdalena to stay at the top and achieve the advantage of the invisible Jorge Da Silva could lose an important player for the definition stage. According to a report by El País de Cali, Rodrigo Holgado could be called up by the Malaysia national team, which plays matches in early June for the 2027 Asian Cup qualification. According to El País, the Argentine striker, born in Buenos Aires, has relatives from Malaysia, and is already advanced in the process of obtaining nationality, and thus being able to be called up by the national team of that country. The Malaysia national team plays on June 10 against Vietnam and a few days later against Cape Verde, so Holgado would miss at least three dates of the quadrangular with América de Cali. If Holgado's call-up to the Malaysia national team is confirmed (which still depends on obtaining nationality and a work visa), the striker would join other expected losses for América on the FIFA date, including Juan Fernando Quintero, who will concentrate with the Colombia national team, José Cavadía and Joel Romero the same, but with the U20 team, and Luis Ramos, already reserved by the Peru national team. 📸 NELSON ALMEIDA - AFP or licensors
