Gabriel Meluk thinks about the goals missed in the Colombian National Team – International Football – Sports

Listen well: the famous “points deficit” of the Colombian National Team in the qualifying table that the coach talks about so much Reinaldo Rueda is maintained by the four points that were left out of winning in the unusual and terrible definition errors of Andrés Andrade, in La Paz, and Duvan Zapata, in Montevideo. As simple as knowing that the hands of David ospina they won Thursday’s point against Uruguay. They are data (undeniable) and you have to give them.

Argentina had only one goal option in the Copa América final against Brazil and Di María did not miss. Champions, Messi’s tears, demonstration at the Obelisk … Same as with Higuaín in the World Cup and America Cup finals. Ha! Come…?

Effectiveness, Reinaldo Rueda’s headache

The “points deficit” will be overcome by winning and to win you have to put it in, especially when the few scoring chances rot when they are mature.

I remember Falcao in La Paz, in the Brazil-2014 tie: they rolled a ball, not two, not three, or four, and he got it. Three fucking. I remember Falcao against Brazil, in Barraquilla, in the Russia-2018 tie: they threw only one center, not two, not three, or four, and he achieved the final 1-1. I remember Falcao against Chile in Santiago, a year ago in this tie: in the only ball that came to him –and of pods–, not two, not three or four, he won the 2-2 point at the last minute. Let it come to you now!

Without saying the saints, but sin, Rueda has repeated that effectiveness (put it in, without euphemisms!) Is his headache, like everyone’s.

Zapata and Andrade lost 4 points

I also remember a talk I had with Mario Yepes, in October 2008, after losing against Paraguay in Bogotá (0-1), in the South African tie. He regretted that in that eliminated National Team, such as Korea / Japan -2002 and Germany-2006, they did not have whoever scored the goals ahead (“there is no one who scored the goal,” he told me), while those behind were even considered. as the best defense in America.

“Could it be that Falcaíto is delaying?” And Falcaíto appeared, he burst, he became Colombia’s greatest scorer of all time and, of course, we returned to the World Cup. Now, Zapata and Andrade lost 4 points, the famous “points deficit” that Rueda has not been able to overcome …
