Besides playing awful, I think that Almiron's system to play with only one DM can not be fit when your guys are either Loaiza or Arias. None of them are good enough to hold the defensive midfield bythemselves while Mac, Aldo or Catellani aren't exactly defensive helpers. So it's either switching to two DM's or finding a calibber player for this position. Yesterday it wasn't our first match when our defense was horrible. But another thing that worried me is that we barely created good chances vs. Patriotas. Now we have Millos, America and Libertadores. They better improve and a lot because with this form we cannot sell nothing.
Another thing: I don't understand why we don't use Campuzano much often. He played few so far but proved that he has a lot of potential. And it's not like our defensive midfielders are something out of this world. I would like to see him today next to Arias, while Vlacho, Mac and Lucumi are in front and Dayro as a lone striker. Almiron needs to use him more often.
Luces y sombras en Nacional. Muy bien Jorman Campuzano y Macnelly, horribles Helibelton, Aguilar y Castellani. Que paquetes argentinos los que llevaron a Nacional. Todavía tengo la esperanza de que no se hayan acostumbrado a lo que pide el técnico, pero de momento no pinta bien. Edit: a quien quiero engañar... MACNELLY ESTA MUERTO!
Nacional looked better than last game. THere are still too many errors and our front is still suspect. Vladimir and Dayro should have started. And yes Vladimir's goal was great, the stadium almost fell off. Also, great performance by Delgado and Aguilar.. Heliberton is suspect.. VERY suspect, I haven't seen anything from him.
We already used that our LB suck, that every regular LB will be a great improvement.... But I agree, in his two games Delgado showed his potential. I'm happy for Vlacho. I really like this player since his Junior days and now I'm glad he plays for us. And yes, he should start and so is Dayro, but I believe that Almiron wanted to save them for Tuesday vs. Colo Colo. when he saw that we don't score, he called them. Helibelton can offer speed and good crosses (yesterday he had two of them) but that's about it. I'm waiting for Zuñiga.
Zuniga?? We all have a heart for the guy but how can you base your club's hopes on Zuniga? Heibelton is horrible....speed is all relative in futbol...what;s the use of being fast if you make the same drive down the lane everytime.
That's the problem, that I wait for Zuñiga. Our RB is exactly like the LB problem. It's either, Zuñiga, Palacios and Bocanegra. Right now none of them are good enough for Copa Libertadores level. So far Helibelton is far from impressing despite his speed. Not good news for us.
Yes indeed. They even placed it in the top 10 goals of the week on ESPN FC (English). And they almost never talk about Colombian soccer.
not entirely sure where to post this but at last he gets his dream ¡La hora de Franco! 📰🗞Franco Armani será convocado por Jorge Sampaoli para los amistosos de Argentina ante Italia y España Vía: @NoTodoPasaTyC pic.twitter.com/htmQS72YT0— Alargue Caracol (@AlargueCaracol) February 27, 2018
LOL he wasnt when he ´layed in the best team of the continent. but now that he is one the worse team of his league he is called up....... Argentinian logic............wait the same logic people here is having with quintero after only one appeareance in the starting XI
I think Sampaoli said something recently about wanting to try out 40 players or something like that. So it makes sense if one of the new players he brings in is another Keeper he has never seen. I don't think it has anything more to do than that.
at the same time are rumours that he discarded dybala..........i know that he have wacthed a lot of players......but dont know if try.
Suck he wasn't a year in Brazil and that he isn't a few inches taller. He is only 5'3 and is also 29..... so not really one for the future... its now or never for him
