After the draw, the twin hailed qualification, urged Unión game be moved | OneFootball

The scoreless draw against San Lorenzo left mixed feelings at Vélez, but Guillermo Barros Schelotto chose to focus on the numbers. “The point and qualification give us peace of mind. We’re one point better off than in the last tournament,” he stressed while analyzing the team’s current situation after securing its place in the Torneo Apertura playoffs.

The Twin compared the current situation with the last Clausura: at this stage, Vélez has more points than in the previous competition, where it had also qualified, although it was later eliminated in the round of 16.

“There are two matches left and we can keep adding points; that will help us in the tournament and in the cups,” he added, highlighting the goal of sustaining the team’s growth. Beyond the numbers, the coach also acknowledged areas for improvement. “We have to improve our finishing and create more goal-scoring chances”, he said, referring to a match in which Vélez showed spells of dominance but lacked depth.

Vélez has a demanding run ahead: it will host Unión in the local tournament, then play in the Copa Argentina, and close the regular phase against Newell’s Old Boys. “If the schedule allows it, it would be great to play Unión on Sunday”, he said, looking to reorganize the workload of matches in an intense week.
