A few months ago, the news broke that Lucas González, who had just been technical director of América de Cali, would have his first experience at the international level. The Bogota native was announced as the new coach of Central Córdoba, a team in Argentina’s first soccer division.
Since he coached in Colombian football with Águilas Doradas or the ‘Mechita’, it is well known that the idea that González seeks to implement is that of a very offensive game, which always goes on the attack, something that can already be seen in the ‘Ferroviario ‘ and that, even though they stand out for their bravery and change of mentality in the team, they stand out in a bad way for the lack of results.
In ‘Olé’, an Argentine media dedicated to the world of sports, they highlight what Lucas González has done since his arrival, giving him the point in favor that it is admirable to take a risk when playing in that way, but emphasizing that playing well is not always going to be synonymous with victories.
“Since his arrival, he implemented a risky offensive proposal. For the coach, possession of the ball is fundamental and that is what he focuses his training on. However, he has not yet achieved any victory: he was kicked 40 times in two games and is one of the teams with the most goals against (7)”were the numbers that were provided in the aforementioned medium to argue the lack of performance of the team led by the Colombian coach.
And the former América de Cali strategist fell in his debut 3-0 against River Plate and 4-2 against Boca Juniors on the second date of the Argentine Professional Soccer League, being one of the main ones highlighted for his way of playing. which, although they generated two goals, has not produced results. In fact, after the game against ‘Xeneize’, one of his players, Mateo Sanabria, questioned his coach’s way of playing in a certain way.

“We had a good first half. Then we came out with the same way of playing, but we didn’t know how to take advantage of that 2-0 lead.” changing a formation to be able to wait for them, for them to meet another team”he said in the first instance.
“I think that by playing differently in the second half, by going a little further back, because many were coming in from the sides, it was going to be difficult for them. And by playing on the counterattack we were going to hurt them more. But we have to delete this page and look for the three points in Córdoba,” Sanabria added to a certain extent, pointing out the idea of the game, after losing against Boca.
The next match for Lucas González’s Central Córdoba will be against Belgrano, for the third date of the Professional Football League, a match that will be played on May 24 at 7:15 pm (Colombian time).
