The opaque tie of Colo Colo with Alianza Lima continues to generate repercussions. Jorge Almiron It was played by a formation that had very little width of the field when inventing sides, which was analyzed by Claudio Borghi.
On TNT Sports, Bichi commented that “it was all peripheral, those different players weren’t there. If Colo Colo knows that they are going to get behind him, he first needs a wide field, opening it up with specialists so that there are overflows.”
Then he stated that not having given confidence to Daniel Gutiérrez and Bruno Gutiérrez or Jeyson Rojas is something that affects Cacique’s youth players with Almirón. “He cut your veins, they said ‘this is my chance,’” by not having Erick Wiemberg and Óscar Opazo.
Bichi in fact realized that “one of the players who had the ball the most was Saldivia,” who did not feel comfortable as a right back and had a hard time getting the ball deep.
The Colo Colo problem for Borghi
For Claudio Borghi, the point of comparison that Almirón should have had to play against Alianza Lima was Cobreloa and not Católica. “Against Cobreloa, playing traditionally, he had a lot of arrivals,” he highlighted, which is why he did not understand so much change.
He also feels that the albos should look for an unbalancing player on offense. “From area to area they are all similar, one more pass or one less pass, but in the last 25 meters it is difficult to play,” he confessed.
“You have five substitutions and twenty-something players. It was better to innovate according to what your rival proposed in the match,” Borghi concluded in his accurate analysis.
Colo Colo will have the chance to wash his wounds from the bitter equality against La Calera, in the national tournament. The duel will be played on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. at the Monumental stadium.
