Atlético Nacional visits Bahía on Thursday, on day 3 of Group F of the Copa Libertadores, in a match that needs to win, but in which it has important casualties.
Marino Hnestroza, expelled, and others injured such as Felipe Aguirre or Kevin Viveros, will be important in the XI of coach Javier Gandolfi.
However, one of the references that will be a starter, and that has become a leader and indispensable of the Verdolaga team, is William Tesillo. The central defender, in a left -handed profile, is one of the foundations of the Antioquia team project in recent times.
In addition, Tesillo is an example for his classmates, as he has demonstrated professionalism, preparation and wisdom to perform at the best level, with 35 years of age.
The tesillo figure that surprises, indicates that the defender is the player with the most minutes of the Verdolaga squad so far from the 2025 season.
Atlético Nacional has played 19 games to date (against Bay will be 20): 2 in Super League, 15 in Liga Betplay and 2 in Copa Libertadores. And in 18 Games has been William Tesillo, according to the report of the statistician Javier Danilo Correa.
Eye: there are 1,718 minutes of tesillo competition, which makes it the technician's trusted man.
The figure is to applaud, but also worries, because with 35 years, Tesillo must dose and not expose itself to an injury; And much less when the final part of the semester is approaching: Cuadrangular League I and definition of the qualification to the round of 16 of the Libertadores.
Thus, Javier Gandolfi must take measures to give rest to his defender, because it is time to manage the payroll to have all his players suitable and stop.
