And the return to the South American Cup came for Atlético Nacional, those led by Juan Carlos Osorio tied with River Plate of Uruguay, in a game where he improved in defense, played more in block, but the failures in attack, condemned a result that complicates it for the return game in Montevideo.
Although there was a slight improvement, it is still difficult for the Antioquia team to play with more dynamics, especially at the end of the arrivals, they have the ball, but it is not effective and in the end they do not achieve the consistency they want.
It was difficult for him to leave: For many passages of the meeting, he succumbed to the high pressure of River Plate, although the opponents did not manage to make a difference in the result, they managed to suffocate a Nacional that a large part of the match felt uncomfortable in his game, due to that strategy of the opposite and because I couldn’t find the spaces to be deep.
Lack of effectiveness: In addition to the goal, Nacional generated four clear goal options that failed to finish in the best way. We know that it is a team that has offensive alternatives, but as in the last games, these failures are very expensive when it comes to obtaining the results.
The expulsion of Yerson Mosquera: At the end of the initial stage, an apparent foul by Yerson Mosquera without a ball, led to the expulsion of the young central defender, who had been playing an outstanding game, canceling the opposing forwards. The lack of a cool head in these games took its toll on a player who, in his absence, caused many problems for the team.
The goal came in transition from defense to attack: Several of the goals that Nacional scored this year were after a counterattack from defense to attack. This time the same purslane team used this weapon to attack River Plate, unfortunately it was the only occasion used and with few spaces, Nacional could not use it again.
Solidarity: In other games, the attackers neglected the tasks of brand and defense, which generated a very long team, full of spaces and where they were subject to the aggression of the opponent. This solidarity is expected to continue in the parties, especially where the parties demand intensity and control of spaces in both areas.
Dynamic: Perhaps the departure of Jefferson Duque determined that Nacional could not be a more pungent team in attack, at times it was very slow and its movements were predictable in its rival. That dynamic that they had in the first half, vanished in the complement.
