Balance of the classic:

Poco tiene para censurarle a Atlético Nacional. Reinaldo Rueda understands that his team is still in a process of adaptation to his style and that without a doubt they had a better performance than the rival in the 285th Antioquia classic, which ended goalless in the second round of the Liga Águila II-2015.

Alexánder Mejía:

"I liked his work. He showed all his hierarchy and character. He felt it in the last minutes because of the days of concentration in the Copa América, the last games and the days he didn't train. He did everything to play well and it showed on the field. When Alejandro (Bernal) came out, he took on the role of providing exit and connecting the team. Today he prevailed, but we know he is not at his level. He can give more. It is important to have a solid team to dream of that high goal and participation in an international tournament."

Efectiveness:

"If we review the goal situations that were generated and the ball possession, we lacked precision. There were two or three chances that could have changed the history of the match in our favor. The team showed the order and collectivity that are increasing. The important thing is that we continue to improve and we showed it against a great opponent."

Defense and clean sheet:

"The team's tactical memory and the hierarchy of the players have been important. We have had little time to work. We have only completed one month. The games, the conceptualization, the knowledge we have of them, and the characteristics of these players have been important to achieve that solid block. We have had three games with good behavior, solidarity, and being a compact and short team. From there, a good future can be built."

Non-convocation of Chará:

"You saw that Yimmi didn't perform well in the game against Junior. He is a player who finds it difficult to come in when he has in his mental map and has a programming to be a starter. And if he is not willing to be an alternative, I consider that it would cost him. That was the argument for not considering him."

Physical condition:

"Today the team showed that they finished well. The players finished running, with good aggression, and with quick action in all situations. We have to take care of that. That they continue to convince themselves of everything they can achieve. From what I know, each one can perform better."

The rival:

"Medellín pressed us in the first few minutes. The work we did made them retreat a little, especially in the second half. But they also sought the opponent's goal. Perhaps not in our style. Medellín was more direct due to the characteristics of their players, the speed of Brayan Angulo, the appearances of Córdoba on the sides. Hechalar and Marrugo did a good job. They were intelligent. And when they saw that there was no imbalance, they played to wait and make a quick exit. We knew their virtues and the qualities of each player. We had to be attentive to those situations."

Rotation:

"There have been three rounds in which there have been changes in the lineup due to different situations, such as injuries and suspensions. It is something normal that happens. Fortunately, there is an important lineup, with some versatile players who are decisive for us. Today Juan David didn't appear, but Farid did. Yimmi was not there and Copete appeared. That's how these dynamics of change will happen according to the circumstances of each of their players."
