The interim coach of Atlético Nacional, Pedro Sarmiento, highlighted various aspects of his team after the 0-0 draw with America. “National was clear and transparent in the proposal. We had some options but we rushed and we were not precise, “said the helmsman.
He added that since he assumed the technical direction of the team, has seen evolution. “Nacional constantly proposes and when it has to defend it groups well. He has gained security on defense.”
Regarding what the match was, he described it as entertaining for the fans: “As a show it was a match that kept people entertained”.
Likewise, he stressed that of the five undefeated games, he has kept a clean sheet in most of them. “It’s been five games and four with a clean sheet, the team works well and I liked the game”.
Sarmiento stated that he wants continue to grow through work. “I want the team to play through a growth of information given to them over the course of the week.”
He also highlighted drawing visitor draws against Santa Fe and America. “We have 24 points, the classic is coming and we must try to add to get in. From then on, the situation will be at another price. Adding in condition of visit is important”.
When they questioned him about the poor performance that Jéfferson Duque showed, he was blunt: “He is the top scorer in Colombian soccer and he is from Nacional. A player of weight, experience and respect on the pitch, I can’t ask him for speed, because he’s a man of a certain age and we’ve been able to use him in that position”.
