Atlético Nacional won again, but spent work against Águilas Doradas in Rionegro. At the end of the game, Pompilio Páez spoke about the meeting where he pointed out some things to improve, but highlighted the ability of his team to come back and prevail on the scoreboard.
“We started by losing a game, we are able to come back, we go up on the scoreboard. We tied the game, we must talk about the mistakes we made, especially in direct play, but we had the ability to generate football and score goals at critical moments. The third goal is very well made and with a very good sequence of passes, it comes out playing (Christian) Mafla, we were playing with two midfielders, then Jarlan (Barrera) made a break-away, a diagonal with a high level, we found Vladimir ( Hernández) who makes an excellent individual move to score and that we win the game ”, he explained.
In addition, Páez indicated that “I prefer the soccer production that Nacional does, it is the team that has scored the most goals. Logically, we must improve on the defensive part, if we adjust it, we will be a more consistent team. We have what to score goals with and that is the most difficult thing in football ”.
On the questioned line of three that again gave advantages, Pompilio said that “Diego (Braghieri) is of medium speed, Geisson (Perea) is of medium speed upwards, Brayan (Córdoba) is of medium speed upwards, (Christian) Mafla He is fast, Jorge (Segura) is half speed up. Through the tournaments we have had, against Santa Fe (in 2013-I) we played with a line of three. The schemes do not play, what play is the functions of the players on the field. In this game we initially played with lateral shuttlecocks and scored a goal, then we played with a diamond in the middle and scored. This team is designed to attack and is capable of scoring goals against anyone ”.
Osorio’s ‘right hand’ recognized that they must rebuild day by day so as not to ‘suffer’ the following matches. “Obviously we must improve in the defensive part, in the start and start, in the direct football that rivals like Tolima are doing. Even Aguilas used them at times. We must also be careful with fouls in midfield, because aerial football is hurting us, we must have better sequences of passes. We have received many fouls and at still ball, before this game, we had scored 10 goals from still ball of the 30 we have in the championship. This team has very good things, we are looking for a way, either in the scheme, in the performance of the players, individually, collectively, in the patterns of play, in the principles. We don’t like that they score us, if we adjust that, we will have a National who goes for important things in the League and in the South American Cup ”.
Páez affirmed that “for a team to react to the loss, the first thing it must do is have a long sequence of passes, of eight, ten, up to 12 passes. Give the defenders time to take up space in the middle third. We must manage a block to attack and another to defend, that is called the team’s relationship distance and they must be at a maximum of 40 meters. If we risk the ball in the defensive third and there is a sequence of four or five passes, the team will be open. That is why the professor (Juan Carlos) Osorio emphasizes, because we defend badly as a consequence to attack badly. In any case, we know that we must correct. A team does not depend on a defensive system, but on everyone’s work, with repetitions, we hope to improve on the defensive part ”.
Finally, Osorio’s replacement on the bench, has a victory and a draw in the absence of the ‘mister’ and against America next Sunday, it will be a great opportunity to demonstrate a better quality of play. “This team is designed to attack, because professor (Juan Carlos) Osorio is in love with attacking football. With any scheme we create situations, we score goals. Undoubtedly, we must improve throughout the team to attack better and defend ourselves better, win the duels. There are very difficult things in football like playing in the upper zone, generating scoring chances, scoring goals, but it is also difficult to leave the goal at zero for a team that attacks. In this game we got the three points, it gives us peace of mind without it being the best game and as we find a better game, we will have many things both for this tournament and in the South American Cup ”.
