The Twin spoke exclusively with ESPN after the victory and had a very nice interaction with the people still in the stands, receiving the classic chant: ‘With the Twins leading, we will all celebrate’ and later a ‘Guillermo, Guillermo,’ to which the coach responded with a big smile and waves to the fans.
This relationship didn't seem possible at the start of his tenure, with some questioning his appointment and the difficult results in the first matches: “The truth is that beyond what he does, the players have turned around a difficult situation, not winning in the first eight games.”
Regarding the two titles won, he clarified: “They were tough opponents, who had beaten Vélez in finals last year (Central Córdoba in the Argentine Cup and Estudiantes LP in the Recopa) and more so with our current situation at that time without winning, it wasn't easy.”
Looking ahead, Guillermo remains focused and thinks about the upcoming challenges: “First, we have to beat Huracán, which has become strong under Kudelka, and then comes Racing.”
“I love Argentine football. Suddenly, I watch more matches from our league than maybe one from the English league, even if I have no connection with the clubs. I informed myself a lot when I was abroad, I took my time to stop and think, I have spoken with top-level coaches, visited training sessions in Europe. But it was necessary to stop a bit and spend time with family.”
“I received calls from many places, but I chose Vélez because I thought it was the best place where I could do a good job,” he added.
“Playing well is linked to winning, having an idea and carrying it out by surpassing your opponent. That is what needs to be sustained over time. We always value the player who has the pause, as well as the one who provides speed on the outside, mixing those possibilities, you have more chances to win,” he stated about his way of building teams and his vision of the game.
