Atlético Nacional visits Patriotas Boyacá in Tunja, this Sunday from 2 in the afternoon, for the date 16 of the 2020 League. The Antioquia Greens will seek to get closer to the classification and recover the lost ground at home when they face the lancers, who need to add to continue in their fight not to descend.
Several novelties were presented in Nacional for this meeting. In the list of 19 players called up, Christian Mafla and Yerson Candelo are absent due to injury. As for those who return, Jorge Segura, Helibelton Palacios and Estéfano Arango were included in the travelers list, in which Juan Carlos Osorio also appears, who has already served a three-game sanction after being sent off against Atlético Bucaramanga on the date 12 of the League.
“It will be a big challenge for the team, especially due to the unexpected injuries, the return of some important players and the need to score points in the League. We are preparing and planning between two to three games. We think of the Patriots game and the South American Cup. Then we will look at the Millionaires and the return in the South American Cup, a very important tournament for our team, “said Osorio.
On what his team should improve, the strategist commented that “Nacional’s serious problem is not when it comes to defending, but that, in each game, he has at least six players or up to seven, offensive. Any team that attacks well and preserves the ball, at the moment of the loss and at the moment of failure of one, we get out of pressure and if the rival has a wing player, it will cause us problems ”.
For his part, Fabián González Lasso works to be in the best possible way and help his teammates by being effective on the attack front. “All the games are difficult, it is important to work and perfect in the possession of the ball and we must go out to propose, press up and translate what we have trained on the court. We must be very fine in all lines and do things in the best way ”.
Personally, the former Cantolao Academy remarked that “I am positive, I work hard, the restart of the League has cost me there, but I am calm because we have a great team, it is important to work to strengthen ourselves in attack. I work day by day, fighting for a position in the team, we know that it will be a difficult game on a difficult court, but regardless of the conditions, we have an obligation to achieve the result ”.
