Atlético Nacional had not lost at the Palogrande stadium in Manizales since October 28, 2018, where Once Caldas, just like this September 25, defeated it 2-0. Similar results and goals product of deconcentration in defense. 201 days after their last game, the purslanes failed to demonstrate all the work during the quarantine, individual and collective training. On the contrary, it was a tough team in its movements and lacking in offensive trade. Here are five aspects of this defeat:
Accuracy in movements: The centrals could not agree and ended up early in the goals. In the first goal, Jorge Segura arrived late to the mark of Andrés Correa and being the opposite player with less stature, he beat him very easily in the center. José Cuadrado remained static in his goal and did not come out to help cut the center, and as happened in several goals, he threw himself at the ball backwards and did not attack the ball. In the second goal, Diego Braghieri had a spare goal kick, who tried to jump, but the ball took advantage of him, there was no relief from his teammates and Marcelino Carreazo entered the area alone and with a hesitant Square, he could define comfortably.
Depth: Except for a couple of shots from Estéfano Arango, Nacional did not dare to finish off from medium distance and to reach the opposite goal, he could not decipher the attentive local defense. When he could break it, the forwards could not get away from it.
Definition: Very linked to the above, the forwards arrived without distance and made the worst decision in the few options generated. Another who had a night to forget was Mr. Fabián González Lasso who had a couple of clear options with a head blow, but sent them to the clouds. For a moment, the visitors accumulated up to seven players in the opposite field, but could not resolve.
Surprise: Except for Vladimir Hernández, Nacional lacked being a dynamic team and had several game plans in case their initial proposal of going out and looking for the opposite did not work, submitting him in his own field and forcing him to error. They failed to exploit the gangs, to create spaces where a man like Andrés Andrade or Jarlan Barrera could shine and that ‘spark’ did not appear in this return to competition game.
Aerial game: Practically a karma for Nacional, both goals came this way. Perhaps the second indirectly, but when there is a still ball or a corner kick, the team suffers in that regard. I reiterate, that is nothing new and it becomes somewhat chronic.
