Have you seen Arturo Vidal play? Dude would make a fantastic wrestler the way he throws himself into tackles.
Chile will get tired eventually, they press hard and Colombians are rested. If all goes according to the plan Duvan will have fun with their defence once subbed in.
Just saw it, starting the same as their first game. So essentially we could have had 90 minutes of Duvan parking on Medel and abusing him, but instead we have Falcao who can't really exploit that matchup the same way. I get having a fresh Duvan is great, but that edge is huge and the longer you can push it the better off we are, besides playing over a press like Chile's is a really good strategy but you need good hold up play and players who can punish a high defensive line, neither of which Falcao does.
wow indeed.... really thought this was for Duvan but ok, maybe has to do with the fatigue factor for him? idk... lets go falcao…..(Roger and James show up!)
effing delay... forget chile, should allow Colombia a quick follow up warm up... not cool icing them like this.
Medina needs to treat this game like the game of his career. No need to be timid. Don’t be afraid to take chances. If we control the game from outset like past 3 games, I will be happy and our chances will be good This game goes down a couple of ways: 1. We win and people will not be that critical about the lineups and subs 1a. We hang on for 60 minutes but then take over and win the game after we sub in players like Duvan, Diaz, Arias or Cardona - people will push for Duvan to start more frequently and for Diaz and others to see more playing time. 2. We lose and people start calling for the end of Falcao/Cuadrado at the NT level and people start 2nd guessing CQ 2a. Hopefully our fullbacks play well like they did against Argentina otherwise it could be back to the drawing board.
