 Failure to Execute The Strategy Tata Martino Argentina

Chile finally made history by winning the Copa America for the first time in 99 years the tournament was held. At the top of the party, they successfully beat Argentina on penalties. There is no goal that is created at the normal time of both teams, as well as when entering extra innings. However, the game itself rather than lack of opportunities, especially from Chile. Status of the host, La Roja appeared dominant throughout the match. Noted Alexis Sanchez and his colleagues were able to open fire up to 18 times although only four of them right into the goalkeeper. While Argentina did less than half, ie only shot 8 times with 6 kick was wide.

Pressing Since First Minute
Since the kick-off, Argentina immediately took the initiative to apply pressure to the area of ​​the final third of the pitch. Sergio Aguero, Javier Pastore, Lionel Messi and Angel Di Maria is enabled to catch the ball and pressed up to the defense of Chile. This was done at the same time to offset the aggressiveness and speed of the players Chile.

Pressing the Argentine player was not exactly successful. Because, Chile does not apply a short pass game from foot to foot as efforts to create a chance. Since the defense, the ball is often directed toward the side of Eduardo Vargas and Alexis Sanchez are playing a more wide.

In midfield, four midfielders Chile, namely Charles Aranguiz, Marcelo Diaz, Arturo Vidal, Jorge Valdivia and has a very different function with three midfielders Argentina. Aranguiz and Vidal played more widened, Diaz served as a breaker superimposed attack defense, while the supporting function Valdivia Chile attack from midfield.

Argentina pressure futile because Chile is not disturbed by it. What happens is too late decline in two Argentine fullback Pablo Zabaleta and Marcos Rojo, who can ride parallel to the three Argentine midfielder.

The function of the pressing until far into the future is to force your opponent to make a mistake. But the function is newly recorded fact produce one result when entering the 37th minute defender At that time Chile was panicked that resulted in one of the feed and produce a corner kick for Argentina. A risky tactic that is not too much to give advantages.

Throughout the first 15 minutes, Chile releasing fourth attempt while Argentina was not at all. Chile was superior ball control up to 61%. It also makes Argentina's defense throughout the first 15 minutes so busy with doing 12 tackles, 2 intercept, 8 clearences, and 4 blocks.

Comparing How to Survive the Second squad
Rojo and play Zabaleta looks like a lack of discipline. Currently survive, they frequently exploited post and Sanchez Vargas. This can be seen up to 30 minutes of game in which Chile is so freely to build an attack.

Duo Javier Mascherano and Lucas Biglia was not exactly solid. Both Chile late closing time of an attack. This is what makes Nicolas Otamendi and Martin Demichelis berjibaku withstand the onslaught of attack Chile. In attack, Vargas and Sanchez did not move to the center but to both sides that are often left out two Argentine fullback. In the middle, Valdivia role is to provide feedback to both sides and finish his own chances.

A relatively simple way of attacking the real, yet capable of producing several opportunities potentially goals. Argentina fortunate because of a total of 18 attempt is made Chile along the 120 minutes of the game there is no goal to fruition. This is in contrast to what is done by Chile while on the defensive. They were not too pushy play using a high defensive line. Naturally, given the opponent they face is not easy, a trio of attackers that have speed and dribbling ability.

Through this low defense then Chile managed to reduce Aguero, Messi and Di Maria (before being replaced Lavezzi). Forward line is even difficult to just let go a shot from outside the box. Opportunity that only exist at the time of the counter-attack, but Tata Martino tactics that do not give freedom to Messi Barcelona star did not make a lot of action.

The loss factor is the role of Messi and Di Maria
Argentina attacks become less bite when Di Maria pulled out because of injury in minute 29. Throughout the match in the Copa America, Di Maria often swapped positions with being on the right wing. In addition, Di Maria was not only acts as a sender bait but also a goalscorer as he did to the goalkeeper Paraguay. Di Maria into weapons at the expense of Argentina Aguero and Messi to pull out the defenders.

When Lavezzi entrance, there is a change in the style of attack Argentina. The left side is originally inhabited Marcos Rojo-Di Maria became not as active at the beginning of the match. Rojo is more focused on helping the defense, while Lavezzi waiting on the sidelines. Differences in style this game could actually benefit Argentina. Lavezzi and Aguero are usually not helped the defense when attacked Argentina. This is what makes Messi has a lot of options to provide feedback on the counter attack.

It also had a golden opportunity Argentina in the 90th minute. Messi, who moved from the midfield, give feedback breakthrough on Lavezzi on the left side of the Argentine attack. Lavezzi also provide feedback even to the right side. Unfortunately, Gonzalo Higuain could not take advantage of these opportunities into goals.

Tata Martino, the coach of Argentina, seems to want to emulate the role of Messi at Barcelona. More active in the area both as a regulator rather than spearhead the attack. But, unfortunately it is not going well for several reasons. First, of course due to the release of Di Maria in the first half, as already mentioned previously. Second, less maximum midfield role which is owned by Argentina. Biglia and Pastore was able to become a figure like Ivan Rakitic or Andres Iniesta who suddenly are in the opponent's penalty box without guarded.

Worse yet, Messi throughout the game still has to be a playmaker Argentina. He inevitably have to continue in the second area and the condition of the Chilean penalty box filled by the defender. As bizarre as it does any moment, of course, Messi will remain difficult to dedicate a goal for La Albiceleste.

Decrease Intensity Pressing Chile
Argentina Chile made a quick game difficult to be separated from the pressure. Until the 45th minute, Argentina only do 2 times attempt, versus six attempt is made Chile. Two attempt that was happening through the set-piece situations, because Argentina is difficult to penetrate the defense of Chile.

Things began to look is the reduced level of pressings Chile until the end of the first half. Di Maria even had several times stood unmarked, though the movement does not generate opportunities for Argentina.

It also occurs in the second half, in which Chile is not as aggressive as in the first 15 minutes. Argentina was even able to build attacks from the defense since flowed into the midfield, then to the front lines. This condition is very different from what happened in the first 15 minutes in which Chile did not let Argentina free to control the ball.

Since the 16th minute to the 45th minute, Argentina superior ball control with 51 versus 49 percent. In the second half of Chile was not excel too much in control of the ball with 53% versus 47%. Throughout the second half there is an increased aggressiveness Chile defense. They did 17 tackles, 12 intercept, 16 clearences, and 8 times block. Total bait Chile during the second half also decreased, as well as Argentina. Chile releasing 202 baits in the second half and 262 baits in the first half, while Argentina releasing 163 198 bait bait versus the first half.

However, there is an increase in the feed direction of Argentina. Throughout the second half, they release 71 feed into the final third area, while in the first round only 57 bait. For Chile this is a decrease due to release only 81 feed into the final third in the second half, while in the first half 92 of bait. If you look at what is done by Chile in the first round earlier, it could be partly due to the stamina of the players of La Roja. A game with such intensity, especially in the final, it has its own pressure.

Conclusion
Tactics of Tata Martino be questioned in the game this time. In addition to losing, the team also looks inferior against hosts Chile. In fact, as we know the players which is owned by Argentina this is not haphazard. On average they be penggawa big European teams-teams and superior when compared belongs to Chile.

The former coach of Barcelona was also prefer to enter Lavezzi and Higuain is currently in need of a goal than Carlos Tevez. Though seen more clearly at that time Argentina needed a striker who has experience and players who make frequent long-distance shots, because it was hardly done at all by the Argentine player to be able to penetrate solid walls Chile. more his pass which finished early trident is Tevez, Messi and Higuain.

Mental Chilean player himself visible without the slightest fear as he entered the penalty shootout, the key to victory La Roja. Phase sometimes prefer physical rather than mental superiority. Seen at all executor Chile managed to enter the ball, starting hard kick towards the corner kick Matias Fernandez and closed Panenka style of Alexis Sanchez.

Different conditions actually exist in Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero failed to dispel all the balls. As well as three executioners who performed only Messi who is able to kick with the right, Higuain widened considerably, while Ever Banega is able to be pushed over by Claudio Bravo.

Argentina 0 Colombia 0: Messi misfires yet again as hosts battle to avoid early exit

Argentina's passage to the knock-out stage of the Copa America is in jeopardy after the hosts were held to a 0-0 draw by Colombia in another disappointing performance by Lionel Messi and his big-name teammates.

Coach Sergio Batista stuck with a similar side to the one that drew Argentina's opening game against Bolivia, and were again led by a misfiring Messi and Carlos Tevez.

Argentina's two star forwards were outplayed by Colombia strikers Radamel Falcao and Dayro Moreno, who had more chances and perhaps should have handed their team victory.

'We deserved three points,' Colombia defender Mario Alberto Yepes said. 'We had the chances to win. We had a lot of attacks we didn't finish.'

Argentina will need a victory in the final group match against Costa Rica, whose side is largely an Under 23 team - to guarantee passage to the second round. But even beating a second-string Costa Rica may be tough for Argentina, who have scored just one goal in 180 minutes in the tournament.

Costa Rica and Mexico are using inexperienced Olympic-style squads because they are not part of the South American confederation and are playing as guests. Their full-strength teams played in the just-completed Gold Cup for the CONCACAF region, which takes in North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Argentina players left the pitch to boos and whistles from frustrated fans after the game. 'One does not like to go off that way,' Batista said. 'People come to see the team win, and that's what we all want.'

Batista acknowledged that Colombia defended well against Messi. 'They shut down the open spots, they knew how to play. They knew our game.'

The Argentina boss will be under pressure to engineer a result for the hosts, who were tipped by many to win the tournament and face Brazil in the final.

Batista took over from Diego Maradona after a disappointing World Cup but has failed to produce results for a nation starved for any major titles in 18 years.

Argentina has two points from two games in Group A. Colombia leads the group with four from two games. Bolivia (1 point from 1 game) and Costa Rica (0 points from 1 game) will play on Thursday. The top two teams in the group advance automatically to the quarter-finals while the best two third-placed teams from the three groups also advance.

Colombia outplayed Argentina in the first half with Falcao and Moreno each coming up with several threatening chances. Moreno came close after 20 minutes with two shots sailing just wide.

Argentina again failed to get Messi into the match, although Ezequiel Lavezzi came close to scoring in the 34th minute, charging in off the right side with a shot that goalkeeper Luis Martinez saved with his right leg. Falcao forced Argentine keeper Sergio Romero into a diving save in the 42nd minute with a long shot, and Moreno made Romero stretch again two minutes later with another threatening attack.

The second half was much the same, and again Colombia looked more dangerous. Pablo Armero came close on a shot just across the face of goal in the 65th. Two minutes later Romero came up with a big save from Falcao.


Argentina finished with four forwards - Messi, Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain and Sergio Aguero - on the pitch in a desperate search for a goal, but still failed to create any genuine chances.
Messi had a good opportunity with a free kick just outside the penalty area in the 81st minute, but his attempt sailed high and wide, and the Barcelona star dropped his head onto his chest in disappointment.
He also fell to the ground in first-half stoppage time, twisting his right ankle when his boot caught in the pitch.
Messi has yet to produce his Barcelona form with Argentina, and each failed match adds more pressure on the 24-year-old, who left Argentina as a youth player and has spent his formative years in Spain.
