Atlético Nacional fell 1-3 against Deportivo Independiente Medellín – Formas Íntimas for the third date of group C in the 2020 Women’s League. The purslanes were not constant in their game and ended up with a weak presentation against their city rival. At the end of the game, coach Diego Bedoya and midfielder Susana Álvarez spoke about what the team should improve for the next game, which will also be a classic game, already in visitor status.
“We must improve on the issue of possession, if we do not have the ball it is very difficult to control the game, improve the brand and be attentive until the last minute. The still ball is what has hurt us in recent games. We must continue fighting and giving everything to seek qualification, “said Bedoya.
For her part, Susana stressed that “we have lacked being precise and with a lot of character to hold the ball and work hard on those quiet balls, which has cost us a lot and on the quiet balls. The team failed to concentrate on a moment when we had the advantage, we had the result and it escaped us due to anxiety ”.
The strategist stressed that “it is important to have leaders on the field who can connect the game in a group, although goal options have been generated, but we have lacked that joint work and communication to improve the results. We continue working, especially with limited spaces ”.
In addition, “what most worries me is the character of the team, assuming responsibility to have the ball, having greater concentration at all times. The group must continue working on them, providing the necessary tools to continue growing. This is a young group, but it is no excuse for these results ”.
Finally, the player Álvarez commented that “it is important to put our game DNA and improve collectively, no matter what the rival has. It is important to print character and personality to achieve a victory in the classic ”.
This is how they spoke in Medellín
“The team was supportive and in a difficult moment of the game where we received the goal, it recovered to continue ahead in the game. In the second half, we didn’t let Nacional react and we got the second goal that helped us get the result. We must recover the team and think that we will have a tough game against Nacional, who is a very good rival, ”said Paniagua.
For her part, Diana Ospina explained that “we must be less anxious when we have the plays head-to-head, that’s what has happened to us in recent games. It is important to improve the definition ”.
Furthermore, ‘Fututo’ stated that “in this match we were resilient, we reacted to adversity. It is important to improve efficiency and I value in such a difficult game with a team as complicated as Nacional and so well managed, we would have had that chance to overcome the score ”.
The strategist warned that “Medellín plays better football than we showed in this game. We fight a lot because the classic is a separate game and at times we are filled with anxiety, we don’t circulate the ball well, but we are closer to qualifying ”.
Regarding this victory, Diana expressed that “this gives the team a lot of confidence and motivation, all the teammates who have entered contribute to the group game. We must already think about the classic, correct the mistakes and hope that we can resume the idea of the game and get a win in the next game.
