America vs Patriotas: preview, lineups and match data that opens Betplay League date 6 | Colombian Soccer | Betplay League

América de Cali had a setback in its last away outing against DIM at Atanasio Girardot and this Friday (7:30 pm) will have the chance to make amends when it receives Patriotas Boyacá at Pascual Guerrero.

Juan Carlos Osorio acknowledged that mistakes were made, from the preparation of the payroll to the operation, but there is a new opportunity to compensate against the Boyacenses.

Although with the Risaraldense technician it is not easy to know in advance which eleventh will present in this match due to his usual rotation, what has been seen in the Antioquia capital deserves that he look for new tools to have a better performance.

However, at the press conference he stated that he will use some players without more minutes, but that they have shown themselves in training.

Osorio will choose his training according to what the Medical Department informs him, since left-back Elvis Mosquera is recovered and Larry Angulo continues with his set-up process, while Daniel Hernández would have two weeks of incapacity left.

Asked about the meeting this Friday, he pointed out that “it will be a great opportunity for some who have not participated and have been showing a good level on a day-to-day basis. We are going to put together a very competitive team.”

He also spoke about the planning of the game: “We have had a very good week of work, we turn the page and think about the next game, I hope we get it right from the tactical point of view and from the eleven that will be on the court.”

Regarding the modifications of the game system, he asserted: “80% or 90% of the players feel comfortable with three game structures and tomorrow we will present one of them.”

He spoke a little more in detail about what he has planned to ride: “There is a stage to play with two forwards. There are scenarios where we need more game per band and a player behind the nine, without having two as references in the area. We as a club are under construction, four players left, but that money is being invested in the third court and a high-performance center. That leaves me calm because I know that as a club it will be a very big progress ”.

The scarlets are sixth with 9 points, but the ninth, Medellín, is only 2 units away (the same ones from Quindío and Águilas Doradas), so they must look for a victory to stay on the list.

For its part, Patriotas Boyacá occupies box 17 with 4 points, the product of 1 win and 1 draw and 3 losses. He has barely scored 3 goals and his defense is one of the most battered with 8 goals.

This week the managers reported that Jorge Luis Bernal will not continue as a proprietary technician and his approach would be unknown.

They come from losing 0-3 to Nacional in Tunja and want to recover in an important place. It has experienced players such as goalkeeper Carlos Mosquera, Kevin Aladesanmi, José Leudo, and Jesús Arrieta, added to several youths who are behind to win the position.

At the same time, the helmsman of America disagreed with the departure of five of his colleagues when the championship is only on the fifth date: “The distressing, unfair, painful situation, I include myself there, the technicians of us obey our culture, if the country lacks something, they are serious projects. ”

Osorio also called for application in the future: “The governing body in Colombia should have very clear rules and behaviors, very marked. For example, no technician can be fired without finishing the tournament or at least ten dates. In our country the word event before the word process and that is why processes are not valued “.
