The break that Chilean football experienced due to the double FIFA date, served the Ñublense coaching staff, led by coach Mario Salas, to correct aspects of the game that have not yet been consolidated as part of the football seal that the “ Commander”, facing the tough duels against Unión Española and Colo Colo.
The collective ability to defend more aggressively and the regularity to generate greater scoring opportunities, through constructed football, appear as priority aspects.
“Everyone defends”
“It is normal that some defensive situations arise that need to be improved, we were left with the initial efficiency of the tournament, but when it is analyzed we tend to think that they are only the last four defenders or three, according to the system, but for us defenses are all those who are on the court defending the goal in different lines, but sometimes the players who are closest to their own goal are marked. Clearly, there have been some mistakes, but collective ones. We reviewed the goals that Everton scored against us and we are going to generate some adjustments to regain the efficiency that we had shown in the first four dates. We have to develop all the lines of play when we don’t have the ball,” analyzed Christián Muñoz, technical assistant to Mario Salas, who will coach against Unión Española, on March 31, at 8:30 p.m., in Santa Laura, after the expulsion of ” Commander” in Viña del Mar.
Get closer to the rival goal
Getting to the rival goal more often and scoring is an aspect that worries the coaching staff.
“The most difficult thing is always creativity, game generation, managing goal situations, I think we are in that search, but there are situations to improve, to try to achieve. We already scored two goals in Viña del Mar from outstanding collective situations. But it is something that we must develop permanently, it is an aspect of the game that we must strengthen so that it manifests itself weekend after weekend,” said Guzmán, who ruled out that the team depends offensively on Patricio Rubio.
Rubio dependency?
“Patricio Rubio is an important player on every team, but I don’t think that “dependency” exists. It brings us a lot of quality, having it is a plus and gives us a different variant, but we do not expect to have an individual dependence, but rather on our collective game. It helps us when a player’s individual inspiration appears, as happened in Viña del Mar. But what we cannot expect is to live only on inspiration, but for this to be a permanent way of playing. The most difficult thing is always to create. We have tried to work on many relevant aspects to achieve our collective imprint. Some have been achieved, such as possession of the ball, possession with purpose, to reach the rival goal, we have not achieved the ideal, but a closer idea has manifested itself,” described Guzmán.
“We already scored two goals in Viña del Mar from outstanding collective situations. But it is something that we must constantly develop. It is an aspect of the game that we must strengthen so that it manifests itself weekend after weekend. Breaking or destroying the rival game involves will, motivation and that every player can achieve if he runs and is focused, but not everyone has inspiration, that is why we must provide the tools so that we can generate scoring opportunities, be aggressive when attacking. It’s what we want, that search will never end. We always want to be proactive and reach the rival goal at all times. This has us focused and we want to achieve it.”
For the duel with the Hispanics, which will be played on March 31, at 8:30 p.m. in Santa Laura, the coaching staff will be able to count on Patricio Rubio, expelled in the last clash with Copiapó, and will also have the Pedro Sánchez and Rafael Caroca recovered. However, he will not be able to count on the expelled Bernardo Cerezo.
Meanwhile, it is most likely that the match with Colo Colo (April 6, 3 p.m.) will be played without Cacique fans.
