Vojvoda commanded Fortaleza in the match against Estudiantes in the first leg of the round of 16 of Libertadores and regretted the draw after Leão do Pici took the lead
This Thursday, the 30th, the Strength received the students in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. In a very truncated confrontation, Leão do Pici even took the lead, but ended up giving up the tie with a few minutes left of the game and now needs to run after the result in La Plata.
Commenting on the match, Juan Pablo Vojvoda revealed the strategy used to face the Argentines. the technician of Strength said that he started the match in a scheme that had three midfielders. However, in the second half, the idea was to change the formation to have two lines of four, which did not work very well in the coach’s conception.
CHANNEL – ATHLETISTIC
“The strategy at the beginning was the same that we are using. Taking Lima away from a third striker, like a third midfielder. Finishing the first half, I think those were our best moments. We switched to using a line of four. We continued like this in the second half, with the departure of Landáruzi, entry of Romarinho, Pikachu started to form the line of four. But the operation was different today“, said.
In his analysis, Vojvoda spoke about Argentina’s superiority in the opening minutes, but highlighted Fortaleza’s ability to turn things around and balance things out. Exalting the team’s performance, the coach recalled that very clear situations were created and regretted the tie in the end.
“The opponent had control in the first minutes, but at the end of the first half, Fortaleza was superior. But it was a very even, disputed, physical game. […] We had very clear situations. We got the upper hand and didn’t sustain it. We were close to winning the game, but the game lasts for 90 minutes. And the other 90 are still missing in La Plata“, commented.
End of the game. Fortaleza and Estudiantes are tied, 1 to 1, in the first leg of the round of 16 of CONMEBOL Libertadores.
