Jonatan Torres: 'We have to play like the big team we are' after Cerro Porteño's poor start

Cerro Porteño's start to the Clausura tournament has been a nightmare, with the team now languishing at the bottom of the league table after a second straight defeat. A loss to Sportivo 2 de Mayo has compounded their early-season struggles, leaving fans and players deeply frustrated.

Striker Jonatan Torres, who scored the team's temporary equalizer in the match, did not mince words about the team's performance. "There's nothing to salvage from this. The truth is, we are very angry because we wanted to win," Torres stated. He acknowledged that only two matches have been played, but insisted there were no positives to take from the current situation. The focus, he said, must now shift to the future.

That two matches have been played, nothing else, after that there is nothing to salvage. The truth is, we are very angry because we wanted to win, so nothing, we have to turn the page, there is a lot of tournament left, not much more than that.

Torres identified a lack of patience and hierarchy as key issues plaguing the team. "We need a bit more patience," he said, reflecting on missed opportunities in the second half. "If we want to aspire to more, we have to have patience and play like what we are, which is a big team."

The team's current position is a stark contrast to the expectations for a club of Cerro Porteño's stature. Their inability to secure points in the opening two fixtures raises significant concerns about their campaign ahead, with the players themselves acknowledging the urgent need for improvement and a return to their expected level of performance.

“

Have a little more patience, I feel that in the second half we could have had more situations, but well, if we want to aspire to more things we have to have patience and play like what we are, which is a big team.
