This Thursday at Jalisco StadiumPachuca fell 2-0 against Atlas in the first leg final of Clausura 2022, of Liga MX, a score that did not reflect what happened on the field of play, since the Tuzos deserved to have at least tied the match, without However, the Colombian goalkeeper Camilo Vargas it came out great.
As has been the custom, the Uruguayan team William Almada He came out with the already known eleven, however, perhaps he should start thinking about making some modifications for the second leg, to be played in the Hidalgo Stadiumbecause many of the players were not effective and were far from the level they have shown in the league.
The Ecuadorian Romario Ibarra and the Colombian Aviles Hurtado They were ineffective at the ends, so much so that the first did not return to the complement, giving way to Fernando Navarrowhile the second was barely able to generate some danger that benefited, since he was easily stopped by the athlete defense.
To be able to think about the championship, those from the Bella Airosa could also modify the central defense, since at the last minute they looked terribly bad because the Colombian Julian Quinones he eliminated three with ease to finally make it 2-0 that puts them on the ropes, taking advantage of a counterattack, something the current monarch’s style.
One of the great keys to stop the red and black it is precisely to put a stop to Quinones and the Tuzos they need someone who can compete in bodywork, someone like the Colombian Oscar Murillowhich could put up more of a fight unlike Miguel TapiasWell, at least they could erase the Argentine a little Julius Furch.
Likewise, Almada I should take advantage of the right side more Kevin Alvarez, who was the most decisive of the hidalguenses in the attack. From his flank came the most dangerous actions of the team, as he won individual duels and also thought quickly to make team plays to get closer to the area. That weapon will be important.
Perhaps, although it is not said, the Tuzo midfield is not really one hundred percent because Luis Chavez, Erick Sanchez Y Victor Guzman They were far from what was expected, they did not have that idea that they have shown throughout the contest, they ran out of ideas, without knowing how to break the red and black wall and how to finish the plays correctly.
Knowing that they need two goals to level the series, Almada could send two strikers from the start, since the Argentine Nicholas Ibanez he was very lonely on offense, since he was not fed with balls and in the crosses that were made he had little chance of heading as he was covered by three rivals who surpassed him in height.
Robert of the Rose could boot to accompany Nicoperhaps sacrificing some of the midfielders and Navarresewho has been a great replacement, always gets something out of the hat with a great filtered pass or individual play, so he must necessarily be a starter, bet all the marbles to go find those goals.
Most importantly, despite going on the attack, they must be very careful with counterattacks from Quinonesthe Ecuadorian Hannibal Chala Y Kingswho have been the generators, avoid individual duels in the lower part and better burst, because they should have learned their lesson after what happened in the last minute of the match.
In addition to this, they must avoid despair, because that could make them lose their minds, cost warnings, waste time and others, when it should be the other way around, having possession of the ball to despair the red and blacks, look for fouls, ball actions stopped and all that could hurt a solid defense.
Pachuca has been raised from other heavier slabs, therefore, they must be smart, constantly prowling the area to see if they can get a maximum penalty, although they must avoid faking fouls and getting nailed, something that some elements did like Ibanez, stolen Y The Pochowhich did not buy the whistle.
