The Colombia national football team has left its debut against Pakistan behind and is focusing all its attention on the upcoming match against Congo. Néstor Lorenzo's technical assistants, Amaranto Perea and Fernando Alloco, analyzed the team's performance and anticipated the keys to facing a rival that promises to present difficulties similar to those of the debut. Perea highlighted that the balance of the first game was positive and valued the fulfillment of the plan drawn up by the technical staff, although he recognized that there are still aspects to improve. They did well in the closing of the game against Uzbekistan, but they knew they were going to face a team with a low block and looking for the counterattack. The former defender pointed out that they expect a similar approach from Congo, which is why Colombia will have to combine patience with offensive intensity. You have to be patient, but not passive. The ball must circulate with a lot of speed and we must use all the resources we have: on the wings, inside, with medium-range shots and winning duels. Football does not have a single form. Perea also assured that the team has different tactical alternatives and that the decisions will depend on the development of the match. We do not work only with a plan A. We have plan B and plan C. Everything depends on how the rival reacts, the moment of the game, and the players who are in the best condition to respond to each situation. Also, he referred to the final stretch of the match against Uzbekistan, when Colombia retreated a few meters to take advantage of the spaces left by the rival. They took risks and that allowed us to do damage in the transitions. Maybe we should try to sustain ourselves for more time in a medium block and not so close to our area. For his part, Fernando Alloco highlighted the collective work and the team's ability to resolve a match that was complicated by the defensive approach of the opponent. We were able to control the situations that could arise and the individualities responded as the game required. There are footballers who receive double or triple marking and against such a low block, it makes it more complex to generate spaces. About Congo, the Argentine assistant warned that it is a dangerous selection, especially due to the speed of their transitions. It's a complicated rival, who attacks very quickly on the wings and in defense-attack transitions. But we analyze all rivals in the same way and try to maintain our identity, adapting to the circumstances that each game presents. Alloco ruled out that the team felt pressure in the debut and highlighted that the first days have been demanding for all the selections. I didn't think there was stage fright. We knew it wasn't going to be an easy game and I think the team responded very well. Finally, the member of the technical staff emphasized that mental strength has been one of the team's main assets. We are very well mentally and that is very important for us.
