Nacional Faces Challenges in Wake of Irregular Season

06:24 PM

Nacional’s irregularity this year reached its peak with the 5-0 defeat by Medellín and that is why, for next year, the club must rethink many things, beyond the titles that were won this year, such as the Super League and the Betplay Cup.

And first, there must be a reflection, because in the midst of these irregularities many unprecedented things happened to him, such as many years ago he did not add 11 games without winning against Millonarios, nor 4 consecutive defeats with DIM and a 5-0 against ( 12 years ago they did not lose by that score), also the 4-1 that América gave them, or that they overturned a series of Libertadores with 2 goals in their favor, as happened against Racing.

Likewise, for the first time in its history it lost to Alianza Petrolera and that a team from Argentina’s second division, like Patronato, came and beat it at Atanasio.

Jhon Duque himself, purslane midfielder, recognized this irregularity after the defeat in the classic. “We had very high points and very low points. The balance is that, we hope that the group that follows can reach a state of balance in which they can be more constant in performance. “It is still a campaign that leaves great lessons, but here there was always a group that wanted to get ahead and work.”

Duque also referred to inexperience as one of the factors that contributed to the team’s bad moments. “Inexperience weighs, but we were all born to learn, football teaches us every day and the important thing is to take those experiences for good and learn from everything that happened to us.”

For his part, coach Jhon Bodmer assumed responsibility for the defeat and indicated that he is already preparing the match with Millonarios to try to close the League with a victory in Bogotá.

“I’m not going to point out individualities, I prefer to assume it from the approach, because I was the one who chose the squad and whether the players worked or not, I hope they reflect on it, but I am the one at the head and I must accept what happened.”

Bodmer did not want to refer to the formation of next season’s roster out of respect for the players. However, the managers, who know of his responsibility in what has happened, are already specifying options and what is known is that they are looking to reinforce the following positions: at least two midfielders, among them a number 10; also a central defender and one or two wingers.

The clear thing is that the green team will have to support this project with 4 or 5 high-ranking players who can lead the young people to success, otherwise, once again the one who will pay the price will be the coach, a position in which from the With the departure of coach Reinaldo Rueda in 2017, there is no stability, because between interim positions and full-time coaches there have been 14 changes, with all types of profiles, without finding the way to build another successful project like the one that culminated with the Libertadores title in 2016.
