Atlético Nacional went from less to more and managed to win 5-2 over Deportivo Pereira, on the third date of the I-2021 League. At the end of the game, the Brazilian coach Alexandre Guimarães spoke about the development of the game and the way in which the purslane team returned to victory and goal, after two games where defeat and the absence of scoring, overshadowed the moment of the team Antioquia.
“Not only in the second half, during the ninety-odd minutes that were played, we did well. In the first half we had the punishment that they were forceful in two clear options that they had. In the second half, the players understood what to do to have the rival tied back. Despite going against the scoreboard, I was satisfied with the performance of the team, they were showing me what we want, how we started the game and how we are transforming it, ”said Guimarães.
In addition, “in the second period we were able to make modifications because the court allowed us to play the game we wanted to do. I am calm, because the players transmit to me that serenity of what we must do, we had to win, be overwhelming when possible, but that’s it, we focus on Tuesday’s game in Pasto, which will be very hard and be mentally equanimous in the victories as in defeats ”.
Rounding out the topic of analysis, Alexandre remarked that “in both halves we knew how to play and with whom to play. That is why what we practiced during the week, plus the transformations we needed, we managed to perform very good automatisms. In the way of training and playing, we are aware that this is only the fourth game and as the games progress, we will surely achieve greater fluidity ”.
The strategist stated that “I liked how the team worked throughout the game, we found movements and spaces to achieve effectiveness in the second half, which we had not been able to have in the first half. Defensively we are on the rise, perhaps in the previous games we were punished with the effectiveness of the rival, but it is football and I think that, in this game, taking the force of the rival, the team controlled the game.
Guimarães expressed his opinion about his team’s approach that “the team has tried different alternatives, depending on the players we have. We seek to have a cleaner exit, more depth. But, I insist, what I liked the most about the team was the application of the players depending on what the game demanded ”.
Finally, he explained about Yerson Candelo’s role as a right back. “With Yerson (Candelo) we wanted to control a situation, having two forwards and with their characteristics, we sought to widen the field, to make ourselves stronger with our two ‘twin towers'”.
