Sampaoli praises Nathan, Keno and Atltico’s attitude in a spin on Atlitco-GO

“A player we need to be well, it’s time for him to help us. It helped us win three points. We hope that he continues on this path ”, stated the commander.

Keno scored five goals for the Atlantic in 2020, seizing the artillery alongside Nathan, who also made his mark against Drago. Sampaoli said that jersey number 23 was the differential for the team to react in the match.

Recently, the player had recovered from injury to the biceps femoris of the left thigh and the Rooster was lost for a month. “Nathan had a lot to do with the change in the second half. He was a player who appeared well from behind, he scored a goal, he was a very important player, although he was not 100%, ”said Sampaoli.

The Alvinegro coach commented on the tactical change he made in the second half at Goinia: “We changed the structure, since it hadn’t worked in the first half. We tried to correct a little in the right sector, where they attacked a lot with height. We changed the system to have more attack volume, instead of 3-2-5, 3-1-6. We have the possibility to do it well or not ”.

He regretted that the team had been lower to the rival in the initial stage, but appreciated the effort in the second half: “We started badly, with little precision in controlling the game in the first 20 minutes. The rival dominated us, pressed and found a goal. Then we tried to push the last 15 to 20 minutes, we had chances to score. We did one, but we were supposed to avoid it. In the second half, we had a higher attack volume. A much shorter team, generating many chances, with four goals. The second part was much better than the first ”.
