Once Caldas, already eliminated from the race for the Betplay League home run classification, is not going through its best sporting moment. The Manizales team complicated its situation once morest Jaguares, a direct rival for relegation.

And the ‘Blanco Blanco’ has accumulated seven games without winning and four consecutive draws at the Palogrande stadium. Added to this, their position in the relegation table is not the most comfortable, so one can speak of a crisis in the team at a sporting and institutional level.

Taking into account the above, once morest Jaguares, the Once fans held protests, before and during the game and with banners and various chants, they asked for the departure of the board and demanded immediate results from the team and the coaching staff.

However, following the game once morest Montería, the fans’ patience ran out and everything ended in an embarrassment.

In the broadcast of the game it is seen how coach Pedro Sarmiento had to leave escorted by the Police because the fans began to throw objects at him from the stands.

Given this, Hernán Darío Herrera had to go out to speak at a press conference and there he reported that Sarmiento received a bottle blow to the head and his ‘pressure went down’.

“Pedro is not here today because his blood pressure went down and he feels a little dizzy… His dizziness was due to some blows he received when they threw some papers and a bottle that fell,” mentioned the ‘Arriero’.

Likewise, he mentioned that solutions have been sought for the issue of relegation and that although they fought, a new elimination of the fight for home runs might not be avoided. He also apologized to the fans for the poor results.

“We respect the fans, all the people here. It is a hard blow for everyone, not just them… It makes me sad, as we all are, to not be able to perform what the people of Manizales deserve,” he indicated.

And he stated that the future of the coaching staff depends on the managers: “We came here for a process, which has been short. This depends on managers, we depend on them and the decisions they make… We hope to move forward and wait for decisions.”
