michael rondelli He angrily answered how fed up he was during the week due to the accumulation of criticism he receives on his work Emelec and losing streak four losses, which fortunately ended on Thursday night with a win against hurricane (1-0) for South American Cup-2023 at the George Capwell Stadium.

“I will briefly explain the reason for the triple (in defense), although I don’t think the explanation is very useful because I’m not crazy, a fool, and it’s not like I don’t know what I’m doingI explain the same. That was the idea because we knew that Huracán plays very fast, the boy (Juan Carlos) Gauto is a player I know from training and he is very good, so we knew that the way they have to attack, with very tall full-backs, with wing players who attacked the intervals, between central and lateral, could make it difficult for us, especially in counterattacks. So we decided to protect the central lane with three midfielders, and the wings with two wings and three center backs so that in case the center back had to go out on the wing, we would not be neglected in the centers. . This is the reason for the 3″ line, the coach said at the press conference after the game.

El Bombillo took a breather in Group B of the Copa Sudamericana with a victory against ‘Glob’.

Electricians, last in Group B, added three points and moved up one step in the standings.

“If you analyze the formation carefully, which is another thing that has been questioned a lot, 1-3-5-2 or 1-5-3-2 if you like, it could quickly change to 1-4-4 -2, 1 -4-2-3-1 or even 1-4-3-3 because Caín (Fará) can pass on the right, Aníbal (Leguizamón) on the left, Fernando (León) on the right right center and Chavo ( Christian Cruz ) who started at left-back; With three midfielders starting, Diego (García) ran on the left and Romario (Caicedo) as the right wing, so they had many structures that could be modified in case the plan failed. Unfortunately, in the second half, it was impossible to play on the field; we also played on Monday, which is another important physical wear and tear, on a muddy field…” he added.

Emelec had a hard time navigating the field and breaking through Huracán’s defense. However, it turned into a set piece, when José Alberti took a corner kick that landed on Fará’s head. The defender sent the ball into the box.

The goal was the Argentinian defender’s first goal with Emelec, who played under the pressure of losing four straight games in the Pro Serie A league and international tournament. In the previous meeting in the group stage, the team of millionaires was defeated 2:0 by the Uruguayan team Danubio in Montevideo.

Under heavy rain, Emelec and Huracán faced off in an even but dull match, in which the favorite Huracán had problems with direct shots on the opponent’s goal. The home side wasted two scoring chances in the second half through Jhon Jair Sánchez and Bryan Angulo, who reappeared in the lineup after 19 days out due to injury.

Miguel Rondelli highlighted the commitment of his players and the competitiveness of the team.

“In the first half they played when they could, and in the second half they fought; and we did what we had to and tried to defend the result. I think the team fought today and I think they are fair winners,” the albiceleste coach noted.
