Atlético Nacional lost again, this time 1-2 against Millonarios, for the third date in League II-2022, the purslane team continued with slow movements, without ideas and widely surpassed by a forceful blue team. Here are five aspects of this new green fall.
Attitude: There is something that Nacional had in the final part of the last tournament and that meant being champion and that was the attitude. Something that he did not show neither in Barranquilla, nor in the Atanasio when the starting team came out to play. Many lost the ball and did not run, slow movements and a passivity both in defense and attack.
Blur: Jefferson Duque was in low hours, he was unable to specify several clear options, they did not dare to try mid-distance either and fortune was not Dorlan Pabón’s partner on that occasion at the end of the first half.
Precision: There was no freshness, Nacional failed to make two passes in a row, the team did not show improvement in the complement when the changes came. The downfall is total.
Changes: This time the strategy to the coaching staff failed. When Jhon Duque left, the midfield was unprotected, Jefferson Duque, who asked for the change for his game, kept it. Then he tried to correct but it did not reach him.
Sensitive casualties: The absence of Sebastián Gómez, Danovis Banguero and Jarlan Barrera were greatly felt on the pitch. The first two in the team scheme and the rest, as an offensive alternative. Nacional is a short team and without key pieces, it is weaker.
