https://www.futbolecuador.com/site/...ofensivo-para-el-debut-en-copa-america/134809 I like this lineup. These guys will get 4 games under their belts and the system can be tested while the guys gel in training + games.
Not gonna lie, I am pretty excited about the starting 11. Not sure how they will fare but I can’t wait to see them play. If this works out… it will be the base for WC… if we make it. Galíndez Preciado Arboleda Hincapié Estupiñán Caicedo Méndez Martínez Plata Estrada Valencia
I hope Hincapie starts and Alfaro doesn't decide last minute to go with Arreaga again. I have faith in Valencia and Plata causing chaos for the Colombian defense.
Hacemos una pausa en este sábado 🥳☺️ y nos ponemos modo Tri 🇪🇨❤️☺️🎉11 para debutar mañana en #CopaAmerica2021 Galíndez Preciado ArboledaHincapiéEstupiñánCaicedoMéndezMartínezPlataEstradaValencia— Jocelyn Vera (@jocelynvera95) June 13, 2021 She's gotten the starting 11 right the past two games so I feel pretty confident this will be the starting 11 today. I'm looking forward to seeing Galindez and Piero can do. For the second half I'd like to see Mena and Diaz. It'd be interesting to see how the two of them link up.
I think this is a great lineup with some excellent potential for our wings and ability to hold the ball in the midfield. Assuming we can pass the ball around and maintain tempo, this should be a troubling lineup for Colombia to stack up against. I would anticipate subs: Pervis and Estrada coming in to keep pressure and positioning, Diaz to make plays and distribute in the midfield and Mena for the desequilibrio.
It'll all depend on how the team approaches the match. Will they play like they did against Argentina and Brazil? Or will they chase the match like they did against Uruguay and Colombia? I'll be looking at how Pervis performs. If he has another subpar performance it'll be time to give Pineida an opportunity.
Why?!??! We definitely need to start producing more goalies. Probably the weakest part of the team now.
Fidel is lacking that speed we need IMO. Estupiñan is struggling still but its hard to know if its all on him because Fidel is not doing much sadly. I feel like they are asking Estupiñan to do a lot but is not getting much help from Fidel and leaves him wide open to attacks. I think the midfield is doing well… Colombia is doing well defensively. Hard to do much when they got the forwards locked down.
Pervis is being asked to guard and attack which is going to tire him out before the 60 minute mark. They need to substitute Martinez or swap him and Enner.
