Brazil... es que son los locales... y ya la FIFA ha mostrado muchas veces de lo que es capaz de hacer para ayudar a un equipo a los otros tres equipos les podemos ganar... a Espana le hicimos con el Bolillo un partido dificil y en ese tiempo el panico escenico y la autoestima no eran los mejores... claro que nos pueden dar un paseo.... pero la presion sera de ellos... y nosotros algun dia tenemos que ganarle y eliminar a un grande... pues alli esta la oportunidad Argentina: contra Argentina no necesitamos motivacion extra Alemania: es algo personal... yo vivo oyendo lo que dicen y como demeritan a los demas equipos.. plus.. sin balon son un equipo que ofrece oportunidades de ganarle....
apropisito de los partidos de grupo.... como le jugarias a Grecia? como le jugarias a Costa de Marfil? como le jugarias a Japon? partiendo del hecho que sus estilos son diferentes
Exactly... If we won the 2 first games that gives the coach a chance for the 3 game to rest some players and give others the opportunity to play
I think we control at least 70% of possession against Greece. But that may play into their game plan. They are good in areas we are weak. They like to counter. They love Free Kicks. They love Corners. The key will be to unlock (pun intended) their defense and score early. Once that happens it will get the crowd in yellow all pumped up and we can do all our fancy moves and confident dribbling for more goals. If they score first it is going to be a long day. Ivory Coast is similar. I have seen Senegal and Nigeria keep the ball away from their stars. They are a bunch of good individuals but they lack a cohesion that we have. So I think we will keep the ball and play toque-toque-toque as we have under Pekerman in Barranqilla. They love to counter and guys like Gervinho, Drogba and Kalou are deadly and do not forgive mistakes. They also are decent on set plays so our back line has to be ready and focused at all times. Japan has probably the best technique and the best chance of keeping the ball away from us if they get hot. Their problem is usually mental since they don't get results against teams from Latin America. They looked really Frustrated against Mexico in the Confederations Cup for instance, and constantly missed opportunities. By this match hopefully we have 6 points so it is a moot point but this can be our toughest match.
What worries me about Greece are those Counters I don't know if is worth it to go with a Sanchez Valencia duo in the mid, then James Cuadrado Arias Bacca can link in the ofensive freely with Jackson as target man waiting for a cross or Airball (that's if Falcao is Injured) For Ivory Coast we basically need to have as much possesion as possible, that way they cant do damage and also they will loose patience and will start earning stupid yellows, when this happens; it will be a great game to include someone like Guarin who can dribble a lot and get the other team even more frustrated. Also we need physicall presense in the mid. Japan will be more of that same posesion game that we display
contra Grecia arrancaria asi... Zuniga---Zapata---Valencia---Armero -------------------Aguilar---------------- ------Aldo------------------------James --------------------JGC----------------- -----------Teo--------------Jackson todos esperamos un partido cerrado y JGC nos puede dar eso x el centro... debemos buscar la falta.. sacar a sus centrales del area... Yo veo en ese partido a JFQ abriendo espacios ... buscando el uno vs uno.... Aguilar desde el comienzo... ese man le da a la seleccion el toque secreto... es el Saltinas Noel de la titular.... calladito su trabajo pero necesario como ninguno
The things that make me feel very confident are: 1) We have the best manager in the Group (and possibly the tournament.) 2) There's going to be a lot of Colombians in the stands along with Brazilians who will cheer for us cause of the style and flare we bring to the pitch. Joga Bonito. 3) Our players have a winning mentality not only in South America but in Europe with their clubs.
En mi opinion Quintero esta muy joven aun, depronto lo meto al final, pero no como inicialista como base de mi plan. Para eso mete a Guarin que incluso si ese equipo se repliega va a haber espacios para la media distancia
Ahora pensando y porque no esperamos a Costa de Marfil y lo contragolpeamos con Cuadrado e Ibarbo por las bandas y arriba Jackson o Bacca que ambos son rapidos (creo que Jackson mas)
Ibarbo and Cuadrado would really frustrate the Africans with their ball control and moves. They'd be hacking at their legs all day like a lumberjack with a new axe.
I never understood the theory that a player is still young to start or have a significant role. Talanted players need to be on the pitch regardless of age even if they're 40 years old if they still play at a high level. Didn't you just witnessed Russel Wilson, a 2nd year QB win a super bowl or better yet, do you remember how Tom Brady was thrown into starting line up after Bledsoe (SP?) had injury? I believe he was a rookie or maybe 2nd year player (And a nobody because he was 7th round pick) that took Patriots to Superbowl and won it. What would have been of Tom Brady if they would have decided to sign a veteran scrub QB instead of giving him a chance?
I agree but keeping in mind Pekerman and what he has done in the past he may just try to ease in a guy like Quintero like he did Messi in 2006. Off the bench mostly except the third match when they already qualified.
ask pekerman the shitty match of messi against mexico....... maybe some players are ready at that age but not all.....and the true is that quintero never have been strater in his clubs....
Anyone can have bad debut but talent will eventually shine. Not saying he should start because they are guys in great form ahead of him but definitively should see action on the pitch.
not true...he also plays agianst serbia and scored (second match) and agisnt mexico in round of 16, where he had a bad match otherwise pekerman trust in mascherano, since he was 20 as starter...and play all that tournament with 21 years if someone give confindent and when to youngster is pekerman
Do you seriously think I watch footbal??? Lol eso es mucha vaina pa mi, que el equipo defensivo, que el equipo ofensivo; que joda tan enredada; a mi hablame de futbol del Junior y beisbol. Hay jugadores como James o Arias que son maduros y marcan la diferencia sin importar la edad, pero otros como quintero que necesitan mas tiempo para desarollarse se vio en la UEFA vs Sevilla. Si quintero ya estuviera listo, Creeme que Pekerman lo hubiera puesto en un partido de eliminatoria (porque lo ha llamado desde que jugaba en Nacional) pero todavia no lo considera listo y solo le da min en amistosos.
Pekerman is a smart guy. I know he will give Quintero solid minutes to see if he can become his ACE under his sleeve for playoffs round. Beisbol? Que vaina tan aburrida! Pero acuerdate Quintero esta jugando una nueva posicion y no creo que Pekerman utilizara de la misma manera que Porto. Es normal que Quintero tenga un periodo de adaptacion. Quintero es un jugador que puede hacer diferencia y por lo menos yo si creo que Pekerman sabe eso. Lo mas seguro que va jugar y si reaciona bien, no se sorprendas que llegue hacer titular o primera opcion de la banca.
Mascherano at DM he found due to a microciclo in South America. And of course everyone knew at River he was going to be solid for a long time. He impressed Pekerman a lot at a position they really needed to be filled. Quintero is at a different position and in a different situation.
As I have said in other posts it would be nice to see Quintero and James start side by side in a friendly just to see how it goes. But it seems like Pekerman is now in love with James and Cuadrado starting together.
que joda responder tanto y tratar de defender todo...uno corrige , que ud se equivoca al decir que messi al solo usar el tercer partido., cuando estaba clasificado....y despues a decir que no importa, que eso ero el punto ya le he dicho que esto no es una competencia de debate, dejese instruir un poco.... siempre busca una salida por la tamngente, pa decir que una milesima parte de la que dijo esta bien.....
I did not say Messi was only used in the third match. I said he was used off the bench until the third match (in which he started).
