The sun shone brightly over Buenos Aires during Vélez Sarsfield's last match, or perhaps the pressure was more intense than the weather. Many fans could feel it. The midfield, which should be the engine of the team, has shown weaknesses that cannot be ignored. The transitions from defense to attack are not fluid, which is concerning for any team aiming for greatness.
A club analyst remarked that the lack of creativity in the midfield is alarming. While some players like R. Aliendro and T. Andrada have talent, the team lacks cohesion. In the last match, the midfield was overrun, allowing the opponents to create many opportunities, which is not typical for a team with Vélez Sarsfield's DNA.
Training the players' skills must become a priority. Tactical changes are necessary, and possibly seeking new additions in the transfer market. The question arises: is there an internal solution, or should the market be consulted? My view is that the recruitment office should consider more enthusiastic options.
The next match will be a test for the midfield. Supporters expect to see a reaction, a glimpse of what Vélez Sarsfield has demonstrated in the past. If there is no evolution, the team could find itself in a tricky position in the upcoming phases of the league.
