Atlético Nacional recorded a very important victory in Pereira for the first game of the Super League.
Got better? Yes, he won, which is already a clear sign of progress. Much more so after two weak, boring and disturbing games because of the innocent attack than against Águilas and Jaguares, who forgot the opposite goal and that he had to score goals as a basic principle.
The change of schedule and some names also allowed this improvement, thanks to the fact that the team could be seen more comfortable, somewhat more dominant and solid in defense against a Pereira who had a hard time getting close to Mier. In this, Autuori was right and is credited with wanting to look for other alternatives rather than resorting to stubbornness.
The line of three defenders worked quite well and is promising, apart from Aguirre’s loss to red. In the middle, Román was solid in his performance and finished with the goal, while Banguero had more downs than ups; Goéz, for his part, was not entirely clear and Solís is still taking important steps in evolution. Jarlan struggled at times, but he was one of those who tried to break the zero from the outside. Duque did not come on track and Da Costa, although he tried to be more participative, was also isolated by the defence.
With other names like Sebastián Gómez, John Duque, Nelson Palacio and Jader or Dorlan Pabón himself from the start instead of Jefferson, this Nacional shown today has good potential for improvement and development. In any case, after several months of work, Autuori seems to have found a plan to better adapt to the squad, as the 4-3-3 has left more doubts than certainties and now the work can focus on improving the community to title search the other week 32 of history.
