Claw Tactical Analysis Monterrey Pumas-round match There are times, few, in which a party is tactically perfect. The two technicians took the right decisions and moves only very specific defined the outcome. The Pumas, Monterrey and today was a chair of two of the best technicians in the country and a role model for thousands of coaches throughout the Republic.
Memo Vasquez went to 3-3-1-3 with whom he started the second half of the match in Monterrey. For the first time, used his four front home, although the position Palencia was a kind of link ahead of the three media. The veteran hit the best game of his career. He recovered many balls, distributed everywhere, shot on goal, he ran everywhere. Unbelievable. But the tactical approach was not limited to that. David Cabrera's role was fundamental. As the two plants on the sides (Palacios and Velarde) rose LOT, the Pumas contention made by Rafa Marquez, central paths such as when one of them up to keep the line 3.
For his part, Victor Manuel Vucetich went with a fairly conservative approach. Changed to 4-4-2 had used in his last games with a 5-4-1 with supplying the injured Davino Basanta and Morales in a role that is similar to that of Marquez in the World Cup, as central as Pumas attacked and up to contention when the ball had royal .

face Pumas drew the match with an outstanding goal in the opening minutes. A fantastic game change Cabrera beat Ayovi and fell at the feet of Cortez, whose center was defined by Velarde delayed a beautiful dove. Premier football. Shortly thereafter came the first tactical change, as the '15 'Pumas was going crazy from Ecuador, Vucetich changed it to Oswaldo Martinez, who ran as a half left. In fact, the regional technical repeatedly changed his midfield place, to find the surprise that never really came. Pumas kept attacking for the remainder of the first half and the start of the second. Monterrey was standing behind it, squeezed out very well, but responded little to the front.

The game was frozen and that's where the technicians began to prove themselves. Israel Castro limping since before halftime and could not more. The technician changed it to put Luis Fuentes, who was placed as a left central and released by Velarde, who might now attack each other regardless. Palencia stuck as fixed containment Cabrera. Realizing Pumas ran out of their reference and a man down in midfield, Vucetich took Martinez and put an end, Carreño.

Later, Vasquez said. Orrantia sent to court instead of irregular Cacho, and advanced to Cortes, who finished as top on the right, as Dante walked '9 'fixed. Pumas played 3-4-3, but in practice it was 3-2-5, because Velarde and "Charal" almost did not return. Vucetich followed by the ballet and betrayed his conservative principles. Decided that the best defense was attack and sent a third point, to be hand in hand against the mills. De Nigris entered by Cardozo. Royal coach was preparing for a siege, but with the clear idea of \u200b\u200bjumping the midfield and strike back at every opportunity.

Pumas could not open the oyster regions and Vazquez decided to burn their bridges, and then something fundamental happened ... Came the break for rehydration.
In photo 5, with some fans can enjoy auriazul (no ads, so they will not think badly).
After the "break" rehydrating, Vasquez sent rookie center Izazola as a fourth striker in place of an exhausted Palencia. Twenty seconds later, probably regretted the move. The university finally scored the second in a dead ball, and Vucetich put a forehand, Santana, instead of Davino. Puma coach rearranged as he could. Cortes became a winger on the right, Velarde was delayed and the main function of Orrantia turned out plugging scratched.

Monterrey was attacked, and had the personnel to do, but not energy. Both teams were melted by the heat and the large impressive pace of the game, but the big difference is that the three players were Rayados fresh offensive and did not participate in the game, while two of the Pumas, Sources and Orrantia, multiplied to recover balls, like Cabrera and Cortes, who used his youth to fight every play.
Thus, except for two good saves from "Pikolín" two-center shots far, the best chance to end the counter-party were in college, which was not seized by the depletion of Lopez and Bravo, and the inexperience of Izazola who, however, showed very good workmanship.
Thus ended the game and the Cougars got a great result. No one can say that Vucetich made a mistake. It is true that out very defensive, but with two-goal lead was what seemed, then, instead of men earn back, made changes forward, play hand in hand and never let Pumas comfortable. In fact, King Midas lived up to its reputation. The university did not generate many scoring plays, and scored the second in a set pieces, curiously, his first goal this season.
The Memo Vazquez was a work of art. Since its initial approach, the way they used to Velarde, Cabrera and Palencia, who walked miles and captured more than one position was truly remarkable, and their changes, all successful. A great match for both tactical trainers.
