Colombia’s match in Asunción left positive things, also to worry about, considering what will come at the end of the triple round of Qualifiers. The attack front continues to owe, its main work has not been the common denominator, despite the fact that from the collective and sacrificial work, they showed interesting things. The changes of Reinaldo Rueda are already the custom.
The surprise was the double 9 above, taking into account what Colombia has shown in the previous days and part of the Copa América. Tactical and strategic variants, from the positional position, giving greater mobility to certain players. The case in Defensores del Chaco was evident.
At a press conference, Reinaldo himself had speculated about having two men of reference in the attack. Borja and Borré were chosen and had good movements, one as the reference player above, another, going out to pivot and open spaces. However, they both have that ability to delay.
But the goals do not come, despite the number of options that the tricolor has. The duel against Chile can begin to mark what will be the Colombian dream for Qatar. Adding is an obligation to settle accounts and leave behind a direct rival who comes without great performances.
Keeping the two men up gives Reinaldo an alternative to move the pieces, with players who are sweet with the net, who also enter the role of sacrifice. Volume of attack has, the question for Colombia is to specify.
If you don’t have these two, going back to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 are the alternatives. Playing with extremes, where Colombia has players with conditions, but without much efficiency at the rival goal or maintaining the traditional scheme and gambling with a creative midfielder, which would provide solutions, but would not appeal to dynamics on many occasions to break lines.
The rival is a team that shows dynamism, for years Chile has appealed to the game of bands, on many occasions, with a line of 3, populating half of the field. Players with strength and the possibility of reaching the baseline.
Factors that Reinaldo Rueda will take into account when choosing his starters, with whom to gamble and how the disposition will be in the Metropolitan.
