Havana, Mar 11th. - Some sensitive absences, timely returns and interesting additions mark the call for the Cuba soccer team that will compete in the 2025 Gold Cup tie.
The most sensitive decline is undoubtedly that of Captain Luis Javier Paradela, who recovers from a surgical intervention in one of his knees. But the absence of a pure 10 will also weigh, as Dairon Reyes and Michael Camejo, do not arrive in conditions to date: the first due to lack of continuity and the second equally injured in one of their knees, in need of surgical intervention.
The absence of these conditions the attack front and awakens expectations with respect to what can be chosen to replace them. Although in the front there are also pleasant returns such as those of William Pozo and Cristian Flores, perhaps the latter one of the calls to move the threads in creation with the usual Yasnier Matos.
And also an incorporation that provides hope more than present, that of the young right forward of the youth of Parma FC, Alessio Raballo, which has been summoned with the Torino FC to a match of Serie A, maximum division of Italian football.
About the 18 -year -old scorer, he fell a broad media interest, although he was ceded after the call. Anyway it is positive that the fans and the specialized press are interested in a sub-20 years before debut and not vice versa, as has generally happened with the calls of the Yunielys Castillo coach.
In that case we also found Camilo Pinillo, who just a couple of weeks ago turned 20. The incorporation of the spiky central defender who works in Belgian soccer was acclaimed by the fans and has this time with the approval of the coach.
However, in defensive demarcation the prominence will fall on playersof experience such as Carlos Vázquez; Yosel Piedra, who recently lit alarms with a possible injury that was less serious; and Dariel Morejón, immense when he left the right lane of the rear, although the absence of Orlando Calvo (injured) points to him as a candidate to occupy that demarcation.
Elvis Casanova, Alejandro Delgado and Karel Pérez complete in the background, but for their Yunior Yuri Pérez versatility he could also lend a hand in defensive issues.
Behind them the goalkeepers Raico Rarzarena, Ismel Morgado and Yurdy Hodelín do not constitute surprises.
In the average Pedro Cueto Bravo appears, fundamental in the containment work in the win to San Cristóbal y Nieves, who must count as a holder for the position after the exhibition in the Maceo; Next to him Romario Torres, Karel Espino and Rey Ángel Rodríguez.
Later Anier Casanova and Daniel Filungo Díaz, accompany two players called to load with the weight of the front: the stellar Ocers Hernández and Maikel Reyes.
The confrontation already has dates: on March 21 the first leg will occur at the Antonio Maceo stadium in Santiago de Cuba, and the return will be played on the 25th in the Ato Boldon Stadium of the Soca Warriors.
The last confrontation between both teams went out with a tie in the Maceo and defeats the visit, the only collapse of the Caribbean lions in the Concacaf 2024 League at its level A, and marked the descent of those of the largest of the Antilles.
On this occasion the winner accesses the Gold Cup 2025 and is an opportunity to retaliate for the Cubans, yes, which involves complexities from the quality of the rival as a handicap, not without evidence that Oys Hernández and company are up to the height of resolving them. (Text and photo: Jit)
