Atlético Nacional drew 1-1 with River Plate from Uruguay and put the series on hold for the second phase in the 2020 South American Cup. Juan Carlos Osorio in a press conference valued the work his team had, explained the variations and is positive against him I play back in Montevideo next Wednesday, November 4.
“The key remains open, they will have to go out a little more and we believe that with 11 players, things will be different,” said Osorio.
Regarding the balance of the game, the purslane coach said that “the team had a very good first half, unfortunately we had to adjust the game a bit. We decide to modify the initial structure of the line from three to one of four, renounce the breakaways of our scorer (Jefferson Duque) and try to generate more game with ‘false nines’ like Andrés Andrade and Vladimir Hernández. Jímer Fory entered as a side to back Diego Braghieri on the left. We are very happy for the debut of Fory and Yerson Mosquera, they had very good performances and together with Jair Mena, they showed that they have the conditions to be very important players for Nacional in the future ”.
In addition, Osorio explained that “the game was controlled very well in the middle third and in the opposite field, we had great possession over the rival and we generated several goal options and we were very satisfied that we managed to control their direct football. Unfortunately, they mark us as a stopped ball, but I think we play, we manifest our idea of the game and we control theirs ”.
Returning to the issue of the youth Fory, Mosquera and Mena, who played against the ‘darner’, Osorio said that “they are the future of Nacional, it was a decision of the coaching staff to include them for this match. Unfortunately, we had been injured four players: Jorge Segura, Juan David Cabal, Christian Mafla and Geisson Perea, three left-handed defenders and somehow we had to rebuild the defense. We believe that, in the future, Nacional will have great players with them ”.
Finally, he referred to the play at the end of the first half where Yerson Mosquera ends up being sent off. “We reviewed the play and at no time was there a treacherous foul by Yerson Mosquera on the rival forward.
