If against Once Caldas, Nacional showed problems in all its lines, against Deportes Tolima they got worse. Despite achieving a goal and almost achieving a draw with VAR without merit, the purslane team is going from bad to worse in their idea of the game. The team does not press
efficient, in defense it gives opponents a lot of freedom, it is harmless and what could benefit you with the rotation methodology and the five changes per game, makes a more confused team that ends up playing desperately.
Several changes in the starting eleven and the scheme that in principle was with a 3-2-3-2, with three centrals, two brand midfielders, two wingers and a mixed midfielder and two center-forward. Regarding the game against Once Caldas, they left the roster: José Cuadrado, Diego Braghieri, Geisson Perea, Sebastián Gómez, Estéfano Arango and Vladimir Hernández to give way to: Aldair Quintana, Christian Mafla, Bryan Rovira, Yerson Candelo, Déinner Quiñones and Jefferson Duque. Six players who, except Aldair, who had an acceptable game with everything and who scored two goals (he saved a penalty and saved a couple more arrivals) the rest did not know how to interpret their functions.
The attack with Jefferson Duque and Fabián González Lasso throughout the match was uncomfortable, with players of the same court who did not compete in a good way with the opposing centrals, Nacional did not finish off the opposite goal once and the goal of the partial tie was in Defender Julián Quiñones’s own gate.
Déinner had a night to forget, he played only 45 minutes and never managed to connect with his teammates, he was not unbalancing and he is very far from that man who fell in love with Athanasius dressed in red and blue. Candelo was present throughout the game and was not influential in attack either. Nor was he supportive in defense and when he tried to surprise, he could not elude Danovis Banguero, who was his permanent shadow. Bryan Rovira was cautioned at the beginning of the game and that conditioned him, in the end he was relieved for the second half.
Christian Mafla returned to the level he had before the pandemic, but in 2018, where he was an intermittent player, who did not stand out even as a full-back and, like that year, he was unaware of the central role that he had acquired with Osorio. If not for the VAR, he could have been expelled and committed a penalty.
Finally, Aldair Quintana, as I stated at the beginning of the list, was a goalkeeper who was attentive, shortened well and although they scored two goals, he saved the game from having had a scandalous score.
The rest did not vary from what was seen in Manizales, the same spaces between the lines, a broken team, wrong passes, little attack, little solidarity between the lines, the attackers did not come down to help the defenders, an imbalance in defense and at certain times, there was even a lack of humility and will to try to overcome the rival. The ‘topics’ increase and with time against, where Nacional with his idea of the game and his mistakes, decrease the chances of being a protagonist in this 2020.
