Junior from Barranquilla got off to a good start South American Cup. This Wednesday, those of john royal cross they took a point from their visit to Santa Fe Union and for now they are emerging as the pursuers of the group’s favorite: Fluminense.
Although adding as a visitor will always be important in an international tournament, the rojiblanco team was able to risk a little more towards the end of the match to take the victory.
At FUTBOLRED we analyze the positive and negative aspects of Junior in the Cup:
to highlight
Added visitor: Junior started on the right foot, by winning a point from his visit to Argentine territory. He could even win it if he had tried. He had material to spare.
Effective changes of Cruz Real: each substitution had an effect on the team. Viáfara took over the right wing, Giraldo went from less to more and Cetré almost gave the three points to the shark in the last one.
He understood the moments of the match: Except for the first few minutes, the Barranquilla team understood when to attack and when to withstand the onslaught of the locals. He did not suffer despite being a visitor. The line of 3 in the background behaved well on a collective level, the attackers complemented each other and created two clear ones for Borja and one for Cetré.
To improve
dressing room goal: Junior’s lack of concentration was quite noticeable in the first minutes of the game. They created two clear options for him after the opening whistle and charged him. With Vera’s entry, he reacted. Which is terrible in an international tournament.
Problems in the aerial game and rebounds: against Millonarios they charged him at the last minute after a corner kick that no one evacuated, Alianza discounted thanks to a rebound and Unión opened the account with another center that no one rejected.
Abrupt and childish game expulsion of ‘Cariaco’: At times, the field of play became a battlefield for the very strong tackles and the occasional blow. Didier was able to go expelled, Borja and Hinestroza had hunted fights, ‘Cariaco’ saw the red card. The latter allowed himself to be pissed off at a peak moment of the match. The first was for a violent kick in the middle of the field, the second for dangerous play. Both completely avoidable.
Risk a little more: the rojiblancos were able to take away something else during their visit to the Santa Fe team. Both the DT, giving the order to advance lines, and the players, with a bit of rebellion, were able to take the three points if they made a change. It didn’t seem like an impossible task at all. Of course, it was not bad to save the valuable point, but there are times when you can risk it. The party invited to do it.
