SELECCION DE CHILE 2013: Las razones por las que Sampaoli no "sufre" las ausencias de Fernández y Valdivia


El casildense utilizará un esquema que no basa su juego en un "10" clásico, similar con el que triunfó en su paso por Universidad de Chile.

El casildense utilizará un esquema que no basa su juego en un "10" clásico. El casildense utilizará un esquema que no basa su juego en un "10" clásico.

Jorge Sampaoli ha tenido un difícil inicio al mando de la "Roja" de cara a su debut en las eliminatorias. El casildense ha tenido que lidiar con las lesiones de sus principales figuras para los duelos ante Perú y Uruguay.
Los últimos jugadores que se sumaron al listado de bajas, que compone Sebastián Pinto y Humberto Suazo (marginación voluntaria), fueron Jorge Valdivia y Matías Fernández, éste último con escasa oportunidad de ser alternativa para el duelo del viernes por las molestias que arrastra de Fiorentina.
Sin embargo, pese a que ambos jugadores son considerados por el casildense, la ausencia de los volantes creativos no complica al DT de la "Roja", ya que el esquema que utilizará Sampaoli será similar al que implementó en Universidad de Chile.
¿Cómo jugará Chile ante Perú? Sampaoli sigue trabajando desde el búnker de la selección y aún no decide si jugará con 3-4-3 o un 4-3-3. Pese a ello, en ambos sistemas de juego la figura de un "10" no es trascendental para la propuesta de juego.
Durante su paso por Universidad de Chile, Sampaoli implementó un estilo de juego muy ofensivo que se basaba en la presión que ejercía en el campo del elenco rival. El "10" nunca fue una urgencia para el casildense y el único creativo que llegó al elenco azul, Matías Pérez García, no logró tener cabida en la formación titular y al poco tiempo dejó la institución.
Los once elegidos por Sampaoli, en caso que utilice un 4-3-3, serían Claudio Bravo; Mauricio Isla, Gary Medel, José Rojas, Gonzalo Jara; Charles Aránguiz, Carlos Carmona, Eugenio Mena; Eduardo Vargas, Alexis Sánchez y Jean Beausejour.

ELIMINATORIAS MUNDIALISTAS: DT de Perú Sergio Markarian estudia frenar a Alexis Sánchez con la misma estrategia que anuló a Messi

 


El DT de Perú podría realizar una marca escalonada contra el ariete del Barcelona, mismo método que utilizó contra el "10" en el empate ante Argentina.

El DT de Perú podría realizar una marca escalonada contra el ariete del Barcelona. El DT de Perú podría realizar una marca escalonada contra el ariete del Barcelona.

En Perú saben que el duelo ante Chile es clave para sus aspiraciones. Los incaicos necesitan sumar las tres unidades que le permitan seguir con chances de clasificar al Mundial de Brasil 2014.
Es por esto, que el DT de Perú, Sergio Markarian, se ha preocupado de cada uno de los detalles de cara al duelo con la "Roja". Uno de ellos es Alexis Sánchez, quien llega como la gran figura de la escuadra de Jorge Sampaoli.
Según publica el medio peruano Líbero, el ex DT de Universidad de Chile está diseñando una estrategia para frenar al ariete de Barcelona.
"El estratega rojiblanco necesita diseñar un plan efectivo para controlar la habilidad del ariete mapocho. Una estricta marca personal es una opción de peso, aunque el 'Mago' se inclinaría por esa marca escalonada que le dio resultados ante Lionel Messi", publica el medio. En aquella oportunidad, los incaicos igualaron ante el elenco trasandino.
Además, el periódico incaico elogia el rendimiento del "9" de Barcelona.
"La sola presencia del 'Chico Maravilla' genera en el técnico de la bicolor un intenso dolor de cabeza, ya que las cualidades técnicas del delantero del Barcelona son de temer. El atacante sureño llega en su mejor forma, siendo titular en el cuadro azulgrana, condeándose con astros del balompié mundial que le otorgan un nivel futbolístico superlativo para llegar con confianza a Lima".
Los encargados de neutralizar al jugador del Barcelona serían Guizasola (quien jugaría por el sector derecho, hacia donde se recuesta el atacante chileno), Cruzado y "Cachito" Ramírez.

WOMEN'S SOCCER 2013: Canada ‘excited’ ahead of third-consecutive Cyprus Cup final


Canada come up short in Cyprus Cup final

Posted on 13 March 2013 in Women's National Team / Olympic Team
Canada suffered heartbreak for the second consecutive year in the final of the Cyprus Women's Cup - losing 0:1 to England on this occasion on Wednesday 6 March, 2013 at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia, Cyprus.
England's Rachel Yankey scored the lone goal of the game in the 70th minute and it proved to be the winner as Canada could not muster any clear-cut chances as it fought to get back in the game.
"England were the better team tonight - give them credit," said Canadian Head Coach John Herdman.
"We will have another opportunity against them next month in England."

Jonelle Filigno had Canda's best chance of the game but she could not hit the target with a first-half effort from close range.
Next up for Canada is a Women's International Friendly against France in Nice, France on 4 April.
The Canadians will then travel to Rotherham, England for another fixture against England on 7 April.
Match report: Canada WNT 0:1 ENG







13 March 2013 in Women's National team

Canada will take on England at the GSP Stadium in Nicosia, Cyprus on Wednesday 13 March (18.00 local; 12.00 ET / 09.00 PT) as the team takes part in its third-consecutive final at the 2013 edition of the Cyprus Women’s Cup.
Fans will be able to follow the Cyprus Cup final live on Twitter: @CanadaSoccerEN. Complete pre and post-match video coverage, including full match highlights, will be available on CanadaSoccerTV.
The Canadians qualified for the tournament final by winning Group B with a perfect record of three wins in three matches featuring victories over Switzerland (2:0), Finland (2:1) and the Netherlands (1:0).
England earned their place in the championship game by winning Group A with a record of two wins (4:2 v Italy; 3:1 v New Zealand) and one draw (4:4 v Scotland).
“It’s a real privilege to be taking part in another cup final,” said Head Coach John Herdman ahead of Wedneday’s clash.
“We have prepared for this match in a way that should ensure that we are fresh for the final – as we had the opportunity to rest some key players in our final group fixture against the Netherlands.”
Canada recently defeated a Great Britain side 2:0 in the quarter-finals of the London 2012 Olympics – a team that was made-up of largely of English players – but Herdman is adamant that his team will be in for a tough final with the Cyprus Cup title on the line.
“England have proven they can step up in big games as they came from behind to beat New Zealand and qualify for the final here in Cyprus.
“They are top-10 team in world football and we know they will be working their hardest to disrupt our game.”
“This will be an important challenge for us to see if we can keep our composure and continue to play the way we want to play when England puts us under pressure.
“The players and the staff are excited for it.”
After wining the 2011 Cyprus Cup 2:1 in extra time against the Netherlands; Canada were defeated 2:0 by France in the 2012 final.
Canada defeated England 2:0 in the last fixture between the two teams on 7 March, 2011 at the 2011 Cyprus Cup.
Notes:
  • Canada WNT has an all-time record 4W-0D-2L against England in six matches dating back to 1995.
