Mario Carrillo offers the reasons why the Mexican team was not able to make this big leap to defeat the German giant in the title match
tigers he lost the enormous opportunity to achieve historical greatness. Not everyone has this option. Against the Koreans it was very good, up front Palm trees, Superb, giant, but in front of the Bayern Munich it lacked dimension, height, these beautiful things that football has. What happened to not make that big leap?
1.- Ricardo Ferretti plays on a single idea. It is defended with nine players, a line of four, its two ends (Aquino and Quiñones) play of lateral ones, a right and another left. Three defensive wingers like Carioca, Pizarro and Gignac who was flying. Carlos González joined to help midfield. In this idea his highest point in 10 years was the match against Palmeiras, which surprised with his dominated ball, his touch with precision, with diagonals of Quiñones and Aquino. With the great fight of Gignac. The Brazilians didn’t even see the ball. A very complete match of the highest concentration. Everyone’s football growth was the biggest it has ever had tigers throughout its history.
In this idea when the tigers they dominate the game, when they win and beat the rival there is no one better than Ricardo Ferretti’s team.
2.- When Ferretti is dominated and loses he has no other alternative, Does not change, has no variants (individual), variables (systematic), no changes, finds it difficult to overcome the rival and begins to prioritize order.
3.- A team like Bayer Munich or the German national team has to play three times. 1. cancel- (mark) that kicks hurt, 2. Then wear and 3. Kill them footballingly. The Germans were defeated from the 70th minute to the 90th minute. Ferretti lacked the ability to react at least to give him a ‘madrazo’, simply the Tigers and Ferretti could not counter at any time to Bayern Munich.
If the match continued beyond 90 minutes, he would not have even come close to the area.
At the World Cup in France, the National Team of Mexico canceled out, wore out and was on the verge of killing, unfortunately Bierhoff gave us the coup de grace, but we died of something. At the World Cup in Russia, Professor Osorio marked the Germans, annulled them, wore them down and killed them. ‘Chucky’ Lozano.
These Tigers, with this football ability, should have tied hands, nullified their rivals, do much more than they did.
If the football levels are different between Bayern Munich and the Tigers, That is why there is the strategy, to put as an argument that European players are of higher quality, is a poor support for those who lead within a playing field, as well as pretext hands and intervention of the VAR seem to me pretexts openings, gaps, for losing coaches. I recognize Ferretti’s humility in accepting that the rival was better. I admit that he is one of the great coaches in the history of Mexican football, but on Thursday he missed a lot to confirm or reaffirm.
