I was more impressed with Fernandez not sure why he’s been dropped. In any case both of them are good. It’s just the keeper who’s a walking mistake.
Sad Chileans crying. They will be sub 60 in the world rankings and then back to their normal ranking in the eighties.....
Sloppy in midfield gifting these transitions. Give them a shout Diego. Also release the ball a little more quickly.
However he doesn't know how to position himself. Which is quite worrying. They need to step it up again stop gifting the ball away and keep it simple. Get that third early and finish the game.
It could be down to our relentless pressing. Needs to pace ourself and be more organized particularly with 2 goals adventage. No need to wolfpack hunt the whole time, it could be backfired in last 30 mins againts African side. Calm down and capitalize their mistakes. When you have 3-4 players chasing the ball, when we got the possesion, our players endes up gathering in the same spot.
wasn't barbi the same goal keeper that goofed so terribly in 2023 for several u20 southamerican games? I remember Jeremías Martinet was also criticized but at river he's considered an up and coming keeper with a lot of potential. He can catch the ball and is good with his feet. His reading and spacial awareness was what he was criticized for. That's normal though for under 19 goal keepers. You either get really bad or good. Looking at how terrible Barbi is overall, Jeremías Martinet is a sore loss to lose over the summer to an ACL Just bad luck this year with all the injuries
I would prefer Martinet but he didn't even make the squad which is a surprise until you mentioned his ACL.
