Duel to continue the winning streak in the league

If you analyze the calendar that Atlético Nacional has ahead of you, getting a win over Patriotas this Monday, starting at 20:05 at the Atanasio Girardot stadium, will be fundamental to your aspirations because later more complicated rivals will arrive on paper like how Santa Fe, America, DIM and Golden Eagles.

Coach Pedro Sarmiento is aware of this, but focuses on the Boyaca team first.

“We are thinking about the Patriots and then we can see what we will do, what is the ideal. Each day will bring her enthusiasm, ”she commented.

The interim coach for the Greens said that it is crucial at this time to continue adding three points.

“We have the need and the obligation to win if we want to qualify. For now, we are preparing for what the Patriots offer us ”.

“There is no small rival, it is a team that puts together a defensive figure, who wants to protect themselves and which most likely respects Nacional, because they are visiting.”

The strategist also points out that he has scored zero in the last two games, against Jaguares and Cali, a task that he hopes will continue to be accomplished in the championship.

“We feel satisfaction because the response from the players is very good. The zero arc is essential because they reach us less, they hit more in defensive actions, both individually and collectively. What we think and manage to convey, like the team that knows how to recover the ball with the different systems, has been given to us by work ”.

The King of Cups have a ten-game winning streak against Patriots and are hoping to extend that record. The last defeat with that team was on February 15, 2018.

The rival

Patriots occupies the last places in the standings and must add the remaining dates of the free-for-all stage. So far he has achieved two wins, 4 draws and 7 defeats.

His last visit to the green at Athanasius Girardot dates back to August 26, 2021, when he lost 3-0 with goals from Jonathan Álvez, Jarlan Barrera and Danovis Banguero.

Jarlan Barrera himself is rehabilitated to play after having paid the three penalty dates after being sent off against Envigado
