Atlético Nacional visits Águilas Doradas this Thursday, for date 14 in the 2020 Colombian League. Meeting to be played at the Alberto Grisales stadium from 6:10 in the afternoon. Without Juan Carlos Osorio, the verdolagas will seek a victory in a duel with Antioquia teams that will allow them to climb positions at the top of the table. At the forefront is Águilas who urgently need to add a win so as not to lose track of the group of the eight best in the championship.
After a draw against Junior, the purslane team will have to get the points they lost at home in Rionegro. Juan Carlos Osorio will serve the second of the three sanction dates imposed by Dimayor, after being expelled in Bucaramanga. The Risaraldense will return on date 16 against Patriotas. Therefore, the technical assistant Pompilio Páez will be in charge of directing the team.
“It is very good to compete against teams like Águilas Doradas, they have very interesting players, with experience. It is a team that has its own, hopefully Atlético Nacional will go out to find the 3 points and that is why we will put the best team available,” said Páez .
As for news in the team, Nacional presents three variants regarding the game against the ‘sharks’. Aldair Quintana returns from his call-up with the Colombian National Team, Déinner Quiñones who was cited for the previous match, but due to a family issue he was absent and Diego Braghieri recovered from a cervical injury suffered against Envigado. “Déinner Quiñones had a family problem in the game against Junior and that is why he was not there, but he is already training and available for the game against Águilas Doradas. Diego Braghieri has no problem playing again. He has been training very well since before the game against Junior ”, remarked Pompilio.
For its part, three will be the casualties of the green for this meeting; Sebastián Guerra goes to the microcycle with the Colombia Sub 20 National Team, while Estéfano Arango and Yair Mena will not be there by technical decision. In addition, “Helibelton (Palacios) has a muscle problem, he is in the medical department and we hope he will be against America,” explained the technical assistant.
For his part, Páez explained Yerson Candelo’s role as a winger in the absence of Helibelton. “Yerson (Candelo) playing as a winger, we placed Jarlan as a false winger, similar to the work of James Rodríguez at Everton. With the band left to Yerson, but for him to come out, it depends on the timing that the team has with the ball. He started his career as a winger. “
Finally, Pompilius stated that it is important to correct defensive errors. “In the last five games we have scored 9 goals, we must improve the team’s reaction after the loss of the ball, make better coverage, win duels. We recognize that they have not been the best defensive behavior.”
Águilas Doradas comes to equalize against Millonarios in Bogotá and of their 18 players called up, Aldo Leao Ramírez and Miguel Murillo are new to Francesco Stifano’s scheme. On the other hand, Brayan Fernández and Jesús Rivas will be absent by technical decision.
“We are motivated, adding is important for the group, every day we are working to improve. In the last two games we got the zero in our goal and that is positive to face Nacional, a very difficult team, one of the greatest in the country. We cannot give advantages and we will go out to look for a victory that allows us to get closer to the group of eight ”, highlighted the ‘golden’ player Carlos Henao.
