The triple round of Qualifiers has ended in September and the Colombian National Team had a positive performance: five points out of nine possible, five goals scored and three received.
Perhaps one of the lines to highlight on Reinaldo Rueda’s payroll is that of attackers, both ends and ends. While in the Copa América they generated concern about their low effectiveness, in these days they stood out.
In the first measure it is worth clarifying that those summoned for this area of the field were Falcao, Luis Díaz, Luis Sinisterra, Miguel Ángel Borja, Roger Martínez and Rafael Santos Borré. Of them, ‘El Tigre’, Borja, Roger and Borré are center-forward, while the remaining two are wingers.
Secondly, it is worth remembering that with respect to the previous list (Qualifiers and Copa América), the forwards Duván Zapata, Luis Fernando Muriel and Alfredo Morelos were not taken into account. Casualties that at first seemed more than sensitive.
Third and last point, of the five goals scored in this triple matchday, four were authored by attackers and three by center-forwards as such. Aspect that shows that the offensive rear is already beginning to engage and bear fruit.
With the above on the table, it is clear that Rueda is beginning to see the path of his forwards in the future. Roger started in La Paz due to his knowledge of playing at height, while Borré and Borja shared behind both in Asunción and Barranquilla.
This couple showed, in Playoffs and some Cup matches, that they understand each other wonderfully. While the ex-River pivots and opens spaces, the ex-Junior concretes and fights hand-to-hand. They complement each other, they help each other and this Thursday they already saw their first lethal appearance with the second goal against Chile.
Likewise, Díaz and Roger fulfilled a goal each. Both with the curiosity to generate the opportunity from the individuality and with the game by the bands.
Four attackers who have a fixed quota, in case nothing extraordinary happens to them in their clubs, and both Falcao, who enjoyed a few minutes, and Sinisterra, is just starting, will be fighting head to head this time with Duván, Muriel, Morelos, Luis Suárez, ‘Cucho’ and one that another that begins to stand out in the return of the leagues.
