Atletico Nacional- part VI

I believe we can gap this economic difference unless Pajoy think that he should get unrealistic salary. With all the respect, he's still a good league player, and needs to improve himself.
Yesterday we won the clasico vs. DIM in the Copa Postobon 1-2 which allows us to finish 1st in the group and to wait to our rival in the next phase. We finish with 19 pts while DIM finish with 14 pts but still needs to wait for the last fixture of Sucre & Itagui (13 pts each) who can still eliminate los rojos. Fano & Macnelly scored, Arboleda minimized the damage in penalty.

 

Most likely that so far Tula, Viejo & Armani will leave the club. Osorio confirmed that he has no need in the services of Patiño and instead f Armani he wants to see a Colombian keeper (which means that Pezzuti continues). As for Tula, the player didn't get the ckub's permission to do a surgery but decided to do it anyway. Plus, so far Osorio is very impressed with Medina and Henriqeuz already played under him at Once.

The top scorer of the Torneo Postobon, Jefferson Duque from Rionegro, who scored so far 20 goals, is very close to seal the deal with us. To be honest, he seems like a good player, reminds me of Paez, but in the past we didn't give too many chances to the top scorers of the B like Camilo Piedrahita & Victor Estupiñan. Since our lack of good strikers screamed last tournament, I hope that Osorio will take care of it and give this guy a chance because he does look impressive.

Finally John Pajoy is our player after we bought 80% of his card. Very good, Pajoy showed how talented he is, I just hope that just like Pabon, he'll continue oto develope and get better in Nacional because we had problems with our strikers last season, We need to see if Renteria will stay. because these two can play great up front.

 

Yes, I know about Renteria, but where did you read regarding Uribe? I'm very doubtful if they'll have him. Anyway, all the next signings will be on loan.

 

Thanks Pepino. Having Uribe as a "9" can be awsome. Actually I don't know in which shape we'll get him since he didn't play too much, but no doubt that he's better then all of our current strikers.

I don't agree Crzd. First, because it's 90% that Pabon will leave, we just don' tknow to where. Now, I do agree that they are similar players, but Pajoy can also play in the box as a striker, while Pabon's ability are much more effective when he plays as an attacking midfilder in the flanks and not as a striker next to Falcao for example in the NT. So basically both of them can play together but again, I think that Pabon is going abroad, just need to wait for the right offer to come.

 

Aviles usually plays at left side and besides he was our best player since Osorio came and gave him playing time. I do like this player as well and I don't believe that we'll let him to leave. and yes, I do want to see him in the starting lineup as well.

---------------------Pezzuti----------------------

Calle--------Medina----Henriquez-----Valencia

-----------------Mejia------Valoy---------------

Macnelly----------------------------------Aviles

----------------Pajoy--------Mosquera (Uribe?)

 

He did have rough time when the team played awful and he was Sachi's first player to be subbed, but in general I think he was the best player along side Pabon & Pezzuti and scored goals for us. I wouldn't release him.

 

it's been reported that John Valoy is recovering very well from his injury but he still has 9 more weeks until he can return to the field.

 

This is the list of the players who will leave so far: Carlos Urrego, León Fabio Zapata, Jesús Arrieta, Boris Polo, Daniel Santa y Stephen Barrientos.

On the other hand, we extended Aviles's loan until June 2013, which pleases me very.

 

Atlético Nacional va por más: Fernando Uribe, cerca del 'verde'

If we can close the deal, we'll have even much stronger team then last year (although ironicly we achieved nothing) but unlike last tournament, we'll have 10x better offense with players like Uribe & Pajoy, Pabon is staying for at least 6 more months and we have new good coach like Osorio. Once again Nacional will be the favorite to win the title, hopefully it won't hurt us like last tournament.

Possible formation:

---------------------Pezzuti---------------------

Calle---------Medina-----Henriquez------Valencia

---------------------Mejia-----------------------

Pabon-----------------------------------Mosquera

--------------------Macnelly--------------------

--------------Pajoy-----------Uribe-------------

Bench: 2nd keeper (maybe Bonilla), Murillo, Bernal, Diaz, Perez, Jerson Cordoba, Valoy (still injuried), Quintero, Aviles, Renteria (if staying) & Alvarez

Ufffff, Equipazo!

 

I didn't say that it'll be the formation of OSORIO...I worte the formation that I would put. and actually a formation of 3 CB can be good, with Murillo there also, and Bernal & Valencia in the wings. But it still hard for me to give up on Mosquera, I think that he can contribute very much as he did last tournament, but I guess that he'll be the one to sit on the bench.

Dapip, yes we have all the reasons to the expect much and our bitter experience should teach us better, but I do believe that with Osorio and a much better offense, we can do good things. We don't have Libertadores this time, we have bunch of players who are excellent as individuals and osorio's job will be to build a team and create chemistry. When he'll do it, it'll be hard to stop Nacional.

 

I really didn't follow regarding his form in Olimpia but anyway he is a decent CB, not better then either Medina, Murillo or Henriquez. I think the Medina & Henriquez will be the pair in the defense.
