Atlético Nacional goes through a bump. Normal, some will say. And if. But it is time to get the head and give a blow of authority, which is what is expected of the current league, cup and supercopa champion.
Green plans against Pasto
In his last 5 games in the League and Copa Libertadores, he could only win one, against the weak Boyacá Chicó 4-1 (date 14). It comes from beating Boyacá 4-1 but also to match 0-0 against millionaires and fall 1-0 against Deportivo Cali and is already good to give advantages. The good news is that, with 28 points and 15 in dispute, the local tournament is not a concern. But it is not to relax either.
That is why you have to adjust soon, recover tired players or with physical problems and re -imply as corresponds to their payroll, their history and their prestige.
On this day there will be no unpacking trips and that is already a relief for the DT Javier Gandolfi, whom some fans have begun to point out.
Figures like Alfredo Morelos, Edwin Cardona, both with five scores, are rested. Joan Castro, Kevin Viveros, Juan Manuel Zapata and Felipe Aguirre did not recover. Marino Hnestroza, with a blow to the left heel, will keep him for the classic.
This is how the visitor arrives
Deportivo Pasto, meanwhile, fights to stay among the eight, is at the limit with 23 points and needs to desperately add. That will give a special seasoning to the duel. It comes from beating Águilas 1-0, but first lost 1-0 against Alliance and tied 3-3 against Junior a match that had to win.
Visitor has a hard time adding. He lost three times, tied another three and won one. He scored three goals, he fit six.
