Bien el equipo, en contención no hemos estado muy efectivos pero en creación y distribución si. Vera y Solano muy bien en los laterales, Vera asistió el primero de Sandoval con un centro preciso que solo tuvo que empujar y el segundo fue una jugada de Solano que se asoció bien con Sandoval para dejar frente al arco al Indio, que definió a lo Messi.
En mi opinión no hay muchas conclusiones que se puedan sacar de este juego. Perú tiene muy poco, poco técnicamente y físicamente nada destacable. Buen partido de Sandoval, participando en los tres goles, anotó uno, asistió uno y causó la falta del gol de tiro libre de Vera. Los laterales muy bien, muy completo el partido de ambos. Carrascal tiene una gran riqueza técnica pero tiene que mejorar a la hora de pasarla, se demora mucho o transporta mas de lo necesario. El indio aparte del gol no hizo mucho, se dedicó a distribuir e hizo otra falta tonta que le costó una amarilla. Cassierra lucha mucho y presiona todo el tiempo pero se le nota que le falta confianza. La dupla de volantes Alvarado-Balanta fue solida, los peruanos no les dieron muchos problemas. Alvarado muy bien en la salida y liderando la linea, Balanta corriendo como loco y presionando. La dupla de centrales Reyes-Paz muy solida en el segundo tiempo, en el primero algo mas imprecisos. El arquero Ruiz no tuvo mucho trabajo pero en las pocas que le llegaron estuvo muy solido, ojalá consiga continuidad en algun equipo. En el segundo tiempo entraron Andres Balanta, Kevin Agudelo, Ivan Angulo, Edwin Herrera y Jose Sinisterra. Angulo creó una gran oportunidad de gol tras gambetear a dos defensas peruanos que el arquero pudo bloquear y despues Sinisterra la mando al carajo. En cuanto al técnico Reyes no hay mucho que decir, bien en los cambios y el equipo mostró atrevimiento. Necesita buscar la forma de meter a Atuesta y a Alvarado al mismo tiempo, esa puede ser una formula a futuro para la Selección de mayores.
Was Benedetti not on the bench? Glad to hear Sandoval scored. The main thing our last sub 20 needed was a consistent scorer. He's killing it right now for Junior, and if he keeps it up for the season I have legit hope for the preolimpico.
Sad, he have also been bench recently in america....wont surprise if he gets loan to a smaller team next season
I liked that freekick. Very nice~ But these kids still have a ways to go. I hope they continue to improve.
I was thinking the same thing. Peru had a couple of chances and just did not have good shots on target or cold blood.
I know the game is today, but does anybody know the time? Edit: lol. It just ended. 0-1 loss to Peru...
Didn't see none of these matches, but according the lineup, I actually thought we would play better...Anyway, when the time will come, I hope Reyes will put a much better team since Colombia has tons of talents U-23 and with all due respect, players like el Indio don't have room there.
This generation has really been shining the past couple weeks. Really, the team would be stacked. Had there not been a CA next summer, and if we were to qualify, we'd be able to field this: -------------------Suarez Diaz Benedetti/Agudelo Sinisterra ----------Atuesta Alzate/Alvarado Fuentes Lucumi Cuesta Solano -------------------Mier That's a gold medal contender right there. Of course, I doubt guys like Diaz and Lucumi will play two back-to-back tournaments, so they're pretty much out. It appears Sinisterra has made the team, too. And Zaragoza appears to have no intention of lending Suarez. A more likely squad for the Olympics might be: ----------------Sandoval Angulo Benedetti Carrascal -----------Atuesta Alzate Fuentes Cuesta Reyes Solano ------------------Mier Keep in mind that guys like Cucho, Julian Quinones, Kevin Balanta, Alvarado, Nico Hernandez, Paz, and Vera are all viable players. Apparently Brighton has given Alzate the greenlight to play in the preolimpico. Ideally, even though Jesurum has said we can't call foreign-based players, Atuesta and Angulo can make it as they'll be in offseason.
The future looks bright! Lots of guys who are well placed over the next few years to really push the NT. We probably are going to have over this cycle the best depth we've ever had for the NT with guys hitting their peak along with a solid group of guys who are just starting to really take off and could be really good in a few years. 2022 if we can do things right we have an opportunity challenge for the World Cup.
Where's Ivan Angulo? Andres Amaya? Deiber Caicedo I'm guessing because of the cuadrangulares? But then again, Reyes and el Indio were invited. Nicolas Hernandez also deserves to be here. Jorman Campuzano can contribute. Colombia has so many talented players.
Amaya is a wonderful player, the problem is that he must leave Huila. In the NT it'll be another story. You are right regarding Campuzano, for some reason I thought he is younger.
Just as I thought Reyes wants Cuesta for the Sub 23. Glad to see Carbonero. That guy is very speedy and can add that dimension to this squad on the wings. So far I like Agudelo and hope he continues to improve.
Cuesta for the U-23's makes sense, because if that wasn't the case he should be getting strong consideration for being the backup with Lucemi, especially since they play together at club now and will have lots of time to gel.
