(ESP-ENG) La fe no está moviendo montañas. [Opinión]
Hello friends, good vibes to all.
We have talked too much about this phenomenon and so much so that it has become a country brand. For better or for worse this invisible “force” capable of making impossible things happen has accompanied us throughout the recent history of the national team and strangely, with it in the minds and hearts of the fans, the Vinotinto has achieved absolutely nothing transcendental along the way. And no, it is not the fault of God in heaven; it is the fault of the lack of work, self-criticism, commitment, mentality and above all, love for the jersey. Generalizing is never good or acceptable, but we must recognize that the crisis is real and could worsen in this new date.
Miguel Navarro was the last minute casualty, a tear leaves him out of this double date; Yordan Osorio is still injured and Rubén Ramírez is also injured. If we add to this that Wilker Ángel and the best player we currently have, Jon Aramburu, will also be out due to suspension for accumulation of yellow cards, it is not complicated to realize that the panorama at the defensive level is quite terrifying. Counting friendly matches, because yes, we have to include them, Venezuela has 8 matches without a win with 16 goals against and 7 in favor. All this with a complete and healthy defensive backline.
The Vinotinto's opponent tomorrow is Ecuador, a team that started with -3 points and in the blink of an eye is already in third place, one point behind Uruguay. The soccer being played by the southern team is impressive and this is thanks to a change of coach that they underwent last year, the Argentinean Sebastián Beccacece took over in August and from that moment on Ecuador took off and never went down again. The change was drastic and radical, I remember having seen one or two games, especially in the America Cup and the level they had was really low. Fortunately, they managed to make the necessary leap to qualify for the World Cup and, barring a tragedy, there is no reason not to see them next year.
Was it faith in Ecuador? - Not at all. It was work and change of chip, things that here we are light years away from experiencing. Seeing the progress of the Ecuadorians makes me have a giant envy, why they do it and we don't? - I imagine that will be a question for you who read me. It is true that this issue should no longer be an excuse as long as there is an advance preparation, but it is also true that this conditioning is never done in the best way or planned as it should be, so in the end we end up “passing oil” on the field.
I do not see a positive result in Quito, the truth is always ahead. Any result different from this one will undoubtedly be a major surprise. On Tuesday we have to receive Peru, the “easy” points, as some people say. In these qualifiers there is no such thing, but it is true that the Incas are not going through their best moment, they are in last place with 7 points. My fear is that at any moment this team wakes up and becomes another direct rival to beat, at this moment they are not, so that match on Tuesday can be transcendental as many that Venezuela has already played. That the national team should win? - Yes, we have to make our home advantage count, especially in Maturin, which has become a kind of sanctuary for the Vinotinto.
6 points at stake that in the best case scenario would make us climb two positions, as long as both Bolivia and Paraguay do not do well enough. I don't think that will happen, in the most fantastic scenario we could get 4 points but that would require a draw in Ecuador, which I don't see as feasible today. So yes, 3 points should be the goal and even so I see it doubtful. It is a pity that my national team has turned me into such a pessimistic and not very encouraging fan but the whole context is not favorable at all, I am the first one who wants to hear the “Gloria Bravo Pueblo” in a World Cup but at the moment I see that dream very far away. I hope they shut my mouth on this new date.
¡Un abrazo a todos, nos leemos en la próxima!
