With many afugias, Atlético Nacional rescued a draw with América de Cali, which in many parts of the game was superior, hit at the right moments, but did not knock out its opponent and from less to more, the purslanes took advantage of the disorder to scratch a point that keeps them comfortable in the leaderboard.
But beyond the ability to equate a 0-2 against, the purslanes continue to suffer key failures in defense, as locals they cannot prevail and there are already 12 games that they do not draw their goal to zero, it is a reactive team, which as in This game, he had no inventiveness to attack his rival and make spaces, which he could achieve in the last 20 minutes of play.
Line of three: Brayan Córdoba, Diego Braghieri and Christian Mafla were designated to play as starters, although they had the support of Yerson Candelo and Cristian Blanco, adding more men behind, they did not achieve the necessary synchronization to achieve consistency. In the second half, they changed the line from three to one of four and when the rival had a two-goal advantage on the scoreboard, they resumed the line of three. There are already several parties in which Nacional does not achieve that necessary balance and that is worrying.
Jefferson Duque and an irregular level: There are already two games in which Jefferson Duque fails to be unbalanced. Against Águilas he committed the penalty for the 2-2 partial and against America he failed to be that player who breaks defensive schemes.
Again without clearing the goal: As I mentioned at the beginning of the note, there are 12 games out of the 16 that Atlético Nacional has officially played this year and that they leave with at least one goal received. The issue no longer goes through José Cuadrado or Aldair Quintana, things already go through a defensive system that compromises the entire team and that on many occasions starts losing and has to react. Sending the idea of play to the fret many times
A lot of possession, little efficiency: Much of the game, he had control of the ball, but he was not deep or attacked the rival. 66 minutes passed for his first shot to the goal and that’s because the ball that Brayan Córdoba crossed into the area was deflected by a defender. Sometimes they play to the rhythm of men like Baldomero Perlaza and you see a very run over team, which weighs more the physical over the idea of building an offensive game.
Solidarity improved: Among many negative things about this match, Nacional had the courage to go out and seek equality and achieved it, perhaps not with the best weapons, but the team was armed with momentum and with a collective game generated errors in the rival to achieve a point that serves him in his race for the classification. Although he must improve if he wants to be a protagonist and not a simple supporting actor.
