There was a lot of expectation in América de Cali with the arrival of Juan Carlos Osorio as technical director. As the club’s largest shareholder, Tulio Gómez, said at the time, he is the highest-ranking Colombian coach after doctor Gabriel Ochoa Uribe.
However, after 10 dates of the Betplay II-2021 League, a tournament in which this weekend could leave the eight if those who come behind win, having been eliminated in the South American Cup and Betplay Cup, the actions of the Risaraldense coach continue to decline.
There have been two consecutive local games in which he is guarded by the Police in the face of the desperate and heavy-caliber cries that the fans at Pascual Guerrero throw at him, but more than that, the collective operation does not respond to the objective set.
Line by line, these are the downsides of the scarlet painting:
A rotation without the ideal players: This team from America is no better than coaches like Alexandre Guimaraes or Juan Cruz Real had, and that is why the rotation that Juan Carlos Osorio is used to does not work. The truth is that the level of most players borders on the low and they are only saved among the experienced ones such as goalkeepers Joel Graterol and Diego Novoa, Elvis Segura, Deinner Quiñones and Adrián Ramos.
The line of three does not offer security: Every time he makes up his defense with three centrals, the scarlet cast looks unbalanced. Against Jaguares flagrant mistakes were made, not only in controlling the ball to start playing from the bottom, apart from the loss of the marks in the still ball charges, which finally gave the victory to the Cordoba team.
Kevin Andrade, Pablo Ortiz and Jorge Segura have mostly received the confidence of the coach and so far they have disappointed.
A midfield that presses little and does not have much generation of play: Some time ago one of the most praised areas in America was its core for good containment and coordination to organize offensive actions from there. Today, apart from being permeable, with Daniel Hernández’s injury he lost the natural player of ideas.
Deinner Quiñones also interprets that style, but he had to leave in the 31st minute due to a medical problem and that absence was used by Jaguares to overturn the goal of Joel Graterol, which prevented the account from being wide in favor of the visitors.
The attack remains orphaned and powerless: If there is not enough armed in the midfield, it is difficult to expect that the forwards will arrive frequently to the rival goal. It is usually done through direct play. There, as always, Adrián Ramos is the one who tries to fight against the rear. adversaries. Sometimes it comes out, other times it doesn’t.
Today, the panorama of the Valle del Cauca team is not clear, but Juan Carlos Osorio has stated that he will not change his style of play even though there are no results.
