‘Emelec can’t play that badly! It’s an amorphous team’

I don’t know who could have liked something from Emelec in the game they lost against Orense (2-1). I didn’t like it at all. You can’t play football that badly. Maybe the electric players should work in training to learn what they can do when they are outnumbered on the field.

In addition to the unfortunate departure of Jackson Rodríguez due to injury, it also implied a dismissal (Richard Calderón, in the 5th minute). Since Orense was left with ten players, the game opened up for Emelec to win and for the team to shine. However, not only did Emelec not win at the Nueve de Mayo stadium, but they did not show anything in the collective and tactical orders. I’m more confused than electric players.

It is very difficult to make a positive judgment about Emelec or talk about football advantages. They do not see structured work on the field after the time they did before the start of the championship.

“There was no bad intent in the game against Jackson Rodríguez, it was not a red card,” says Orense SC coach Juan Carlos León

They did the pre-season in Argentina and certainly learned something there, but in the two rounds of the Pro League tournament, Emelec sees nothing. This is dangerous because other teams take advantage and win points, and then there is not enough time, if there is a recovery.

“We started on the wrong path,” admits the technical assistant of Emelec. But “it’s better if it happens now with the start of the Pro League,” he concludes

I hear that some nonsense is being said, such as that despite the defeat in Machala, the delivery of the football player Emelec must be saved. But the first condition for the game is the will for it, to show the desire to play. That is the minimum that can be asked for, so that aspect is not to be commended. Today, Emelec has no game, it is an amorphous team. In two days of the championship, he convinced himself that he does not defend well, that he does not build and that he does not define. Emelec’s actions against Libertad and Orense left me with many doubts.

Individually, in two games, Emelec did not show anything. He played two matches without the classic number 9, two matches without footballers spilling over from the outside, two matches without generating football and without offensive creation. He didn’t show anything collectively either. So far, Emelec have been sparks from Miler Bolaños and nothing more. Emelec is worried. (OR)
