In a countdown for his debut, Colombian Armando Osma Rueda, Águila’s new coach, expanded details on his work with the Feathered Box for Clausura 2021 and his idea of the game. In the conversation with the Güiri Güiri al Aire, he could not miss his analysis of the final Alianza-Águila on January 31.
Runner up in the previous tournament, Águila took place at the Juan Francisco Barraza Stadium in Municipal Limeño on the opening day of the Clausura starting next Saturday.
Armando Osma will be the second technician of Colombian descent to arrive at the Harriers’ nest after his fellow countryman Jairo Ríos Rincón arrived in 2014, led by Dr. Pedro Arieta Vega.
In the Güiri Güiri al Aire, the Colombian coach related the anecdote of how the nickname “Piripi”, as it is called in his native Colombia, came about.
“The reality of my nickname was born when I was five years old, there was a TV clown named Piripipi and I dressed up to go to school and a neighbor who saw me disguised as a clown called me Piripipi, but on the high school took a Pi and Piripi stayed with me forever, ”said the coach.
“If you ask about the teacher Armando Osma, no one answers, but if you ask about the teacher Piripi, everyone tells you who he is,” said Reforzó Osma, a resident of Santander, Bucaramanga.
Osma also provided details on how his arrival in the orange and black box was completed.
“When the president looked for me and spoke to me in Cali, he told me he wanted a man on the bench who would represent his career and experience and my resume was for that project,” he said.
The coach also indicated who was following the Eagle via videos and saw the team’s final against Alianza in the Cuscatlán box.
“I saw the games with Jocoro as 1-0, lost and 1-0, coming back. That’s when the president makes the decision to take me to the final, then he would give me back, because if the president who takes me takes dismissal, that I was staying here, but he told me to wait, he could arrange that on the way and I could stay ”, detailed.
In a short period of time, Osma has well defined what Salvadoran football is like, giving his reading of the last Águila against Alianza, who won the Albos 3-0.
“It’s a football with a very direct play, they hit the ball very little, but when they reach depth in very little space, most of the team is trying to win the baseline and shoot to the center. final was misinterpreted by Águila. because a final you can’t lose 3-0, a final can’t be lost with so many goals, you had to manage the game much more strategically so as not to lose it like it was lost, ”he said.
According to him, Águila should have become the model of possession and wear out the rival.
“There is a clear situation that when I have to run, because I am local, I exhaust myself, the more I run behind the ball, I lose energy and they are situations of the direct attack game. We want to dominate the game. the team does not make more than 500 passes per game, ”he said.
He added that “that will give us more certainty when it comes to having the ball and in the daily training sessions we have to give the effectiveness and every day I am finishing the work. With the ball we wear out and with effectiveness we win, we are going to grow ”, adds Osma.
He also put the public’s support as key and played at night. “We hope that if our number 12 player, the grandstand, goes out en masse at night, we would get more support. When the lights are ready, welcome.”
One of the observations of “Piripi” Osma is that the wings are two extremes and leave the defense “unguarded” and there are many gaps. “We have to work in order and we want to make a compact team where these races organize the team and are at 20 meters defensively and not at 40,” he said.
“We have to see who is compliant to not be so destabilized and I highlight the idea of not playing with just two forwards, but that the 7, 11 and 9 are the players who are always chopped and scoring goals,” he added. . Armando Osma.
As a coach, “Piripi” Osma led the clubs Manta FC (2011-2012 and 2016), Macará (2013), El nacional (2015) and Aucas (2016-2017) from Ecuador, and also directed the Copa Libertadores de América to the Colombian Cali (1987), Millonarios (1995).
Osma Rueda was also the technical assistant to fellow countryman Luis Fernando Suárez with the Ecuadorian team at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
