Duvan Zapata

Am hoping he can get a run of games where he can start and get 75+ minutes per game. For me he’s the kind of player where his skill set and attributes can really help the NT in a 2 striker formation. I already know that CRZD is going to counter with “he has 0 goals in 5 games” but his responsibility was more of hold up play and creating space for others; goals are a bonus.

Hopefully whoever is on the shortlist to run the team has duvan as a player worth giving a consistent string of minutes.

 

If Muriel keeps getting called up, there should be no reason why Duvan shouldn’t either.

 

ilogic comparison and without relation...

Muriel wasnt called up for last friendlies because his bad performances.

 

That’s a good point. But if we learned anything over any WC cycle is that the lord works in mysterious ways...unless you are in that decision making room.

Although at this rate, I would likely bet on Borre and Villa making the CA squad over someone like Muriel. after seeing him look flat in the friendly I saw live against Argentina, he has fallen off my “high hopes” list

 

1. Muriel no fue llamado para los ultimos amistosos....y en varias convocatoria fue borrado.

2. Para el partido contra argentina muriel venia sin ritmo....era obvio que no era buena opción.....ahora sacar conclusiones por que en un partido que uno fue en vivo un juagdor decepciono es un analisis super pobre.

3. Uno llama a los que vienen en ritmo....muriel lo dejaron de llamar cuando venia sin ritmo. no es una dicotomia.....pueden llamar a los dos.

4. Duvan tiene que seguir asi en abril para seguir que lo llamen....si en abril anda en bajon y no en este nivel tampoco lo van a llamar.

 

That’s because it’s not an analysis. It’s a simple observation of one inconsistent striker who seems to have some relevance on the NT to another who doesn’t.

 

Entonces es importante a hacer seguimiento a las convocatorias y en los momentos que ha sido convocado muriel.............no siempre fue llamado.

Muriel fue borrado por Pekerman cuando no estaba jugando regularmente ...........y tampoco fue llamado a los ultimos amistosos por arturo reyes.

Para la recta final de elimiantorias muriel fue a la tribuna

Es cuestion de decir cosas con sentido..........se llaman cuando andan en buen nivel.........que ha sido el pecado de ambos......lo de muriel si ha sido mas sobresaliente y por algo lo trasnfirieron a un equipo de mas categoria.

 

I understand that but what I said is also not far off. And that doesn’t only apply to Muriel. Let’s not act like certain individuals who’ve been absolutely abysmal with club haven’t got consecutive calls to the NT.

 

who?? maybe aviles and dorlan............or others in minor leagues.

If something had the last process is that the core of players used were of the best.......not the best guys of the month

 

Another goal. scored a penalty to tie the game against Genoa. Not playing too great though...

 

goal is goal!!

 

Yup. To me I love it when a Colombian scores penalties.

Especially since we have seen many players miss penalties.

Good to have another future option at the spot kick if he get's consistent at them.

 

Goal agaisnt juve!!!

he is scoring like in the last 5 matches or more.......

look that he was to score regularly..........but not always was performing in the same way.......

 

Boom! What a strike!

What a month for Duvan!

 

Duvan and Borre as starters for next match

 

Duvan and Borre both playing out of their skin the last month or so, hopefully they both can hold that form after breaking through and becoming important for their teams. Think they both have earned a good look at this point, and Cucho doing well too let's give the new blood the chance to start.

 

Duvan's looking extra huge now, looking like a poor man's Lukaku
