After directing some practices, Cristian Kily González had his first press conference as DT of Platense this Thursday, after the champion duo, Favio Orsi and Sergio Gómez, resigned from office. And he was happy with his arrival at the squid, especially for the “challenge” that this opportunity represents for him, After his steps by Rosario Central and Unión de Santa Fe. He even told how the proposal came (“They called me at noon and 5 in the afternoon I was gathered”), How you will try to play your team, what goals they point to and more.
“For me, as I told President Sebastián (Ordoñez), It is a pride that the champion team has intended for us to be the coaching staff. From there a lot of situations mobilized me. We have had a very deep talk of trying to sustain and improve what was achieved. I always say that in football obtaining hierarchy is very difficult and these boys have come to glory and fully trust that we can continue to improve what was done. It is not that I press me, but that it fills me with joy to face this, “El Kil said in principle.
And he stood out “The union of the group, humility, sacrifice, effort” of this squad with which it was found, at the same time that it stressed that it will try to make their directions continue at a high level: “You have to continue believing, that you can grow as a team and be able to achieve more important things yet, Because there are things that are ahead that will be very good for the club. “
“Beyond having directed central, union, today to be the head of a champion team … you have to live up to that, then in that the predisposition and The desire to want to be excited in a very strong way “, He commented on Kily.
Asked about how he will try to play his team, Kily warned that he will look for the squid “Go forward” And be the protagonist: “I seek to be the protagonist, that my team goes forward, assuming the role that you have to win. Then this is football and you have to see different situations. And I think you have to have the virtue of analyzing how your team plays, in this case, it is a bit to adapt to the team and after little by little trying to change or add things to get the team better. “
“But I insist: I want my team to play better than the opponent, try to play better than the rival and be the protagonist. It has already been demonstrating. Because this team made everyone, maybe, we put on the shirt, because from humility and seeing a team that is delivered as Platense was delivered, that makes one the things much easier. Then you are understanding how to handle the ship. I am in charge and I will try to improve it in every way and hold what has been doing well, “ pointed out.
He also stressed that his challenge and his CT will be able to continue “getting things” and that, in that sense, the players already showed him that they are wanting: “The issue is that success does not confuse you. Because the prestige in football is very difficult to get. I am not one of those who stay or relax because I already did this. The great challenge of us is to continue getting things, because you can and did it. It goes on that. Zero relaxation. And I see it in the first training: a terrible intensity, they express me those desire to want to continue growing and win and that is great as a coach. “
“The first training we did was crazy from the side of intensity, of wanting to continue improving. And I congratulated them because these guys want more. It is a very healthy, very humble team, which wants to continue growing. Then there is trying to handle all the egos, the forms that each one has to continue adding hierarchy to each one and to grow as a team and also at the same time enhance them individually, because at the same time the club is positioned from another side. In six months the Copa Libertadores, and you are in the Argentine Cup, and you will play another final with the champion of the other tournament, which, why can't we be again? It is not known, it is a motivation that made me assume this challenge from everywhere “, He added.
Regarding possible reinforcements or exits, he warned that he spoke with President Ordoñez to try to support the champions players: “This was very fast, we have joined Sebastian and has not decided that I am the Platense coach. What expressed me is to hold the players, to the squad, but hey, you also have to understand that it is a club that needs to sell. We talk a little on top, beyond that there is time, we are always in contact and seeing possibilities. Hopefully God wants to stay the entire squad and try to continue holding this line as did Platense. We have spoken it in confidence that you are going to try to make an effort to stay all the players, which is what I also want. “
Why he accepted the proposal and how did he get
“I always liked the challenges, I do not like comfort. I have had chances of going to other places and when this possibility arose, I did not hesitate. Always in my career as a player or as a coach I challenged myself to challenges that maybe one says 'No, you can't', and I know that Platense was a team, and today he is the well -deserved Argentine soccer champion. And it is from there that I demand with my coaching staff to sustain and improve this, “said Kily, about why he accepted this proposal.
And he indicated that he already warned his players that Platense, being a champion, now plays with other pressures: “I take care of giving him the identity that he has achieved platense, improving and trying to go for more. I can't allow my team to go see what happens. He is the champion. I told my players: 'Platense is going to play in another way now'. The champion will have other pressures and you have to be prepared everywhere. I like to compete to continuously improve. I love to win beyond that it is complicated. And I assume the challenge when I say I am the coach of the champion team, then based on that, I will try to do my best, so that Platense does much better. I want more and the players are convinced of that too. “
He also said that, as soon as Ordoñez's call came, he met him in a matter of hours: “They called me at noon and 5 in the afternoon I was gathered. And I came for a matter that one of my children lives here in Buenos Aires, and this possibility arose. I was not aware of what had happened with the duo (Orsi-Gómez) and when I received the call I did some things I had to do at noon and came to get together with him. Sebastián is a very transparent person, very direct as I am. We agreed a little and I already sensed (the opportunity), and he confirmed me that he sensed the same. And today reality makes him directing platense, so I'm happy, happy, with great joy and energy, wanting to do things well. “
“For me it is a great challenge. I do not come to spend time, I assumed this as the most important experience, beyond that I have directed two teams that have helped me and given many things, Today I am directing the champion, and hopefully I can repeat and be up to it “, He added.
“The fan got used to seeing a leading team and we will try to do the same. We will try to find a way in which they feel identified. There was a very clear idea, for something he got what he got. We will try to improve what I was doing. It is complicated, yes, that's why one takes it with a lot of responsibility and a lot of obligation. I have to be in all the details to be able to do well, “he closed.
