Borrello 2.0: The Reconstruction

• Head manager Carlos Borrello has returned to a Argentinia inhabitant team
• It is dual years given a Albiceleste last played
• The concentration is on personification some-more fixtures and strengthening a foundations of a women’s game

Two years and one month have upheld given Argentina’s inhabitant women’s football organisation final played a fixture. It is a duration of loitering that has meant that, given Jun 2016, a nation has been absent from a FIFA/Coca Cola Women’s World Ranking.

This is a same organisation that was ranked among a tip 30 in a universe usually a decade ago, and that had combined a standing as South America’s second strongest side behind Brazil.

Coach Carlos Borrello enjoyed a pivotal purpose during that golden age of Argentinian women’s football. Now, following his prolific initial spell in assign of a inhabitant team, Borrello has been summoned to lapse to a overlay in sequence to manage a rebuilding process.

“It’s dangerous to go dual years though playing,” Borrello told FIFA.com. His appointment was strictly announced on 12 July, entirely 722 days on from a comparison team’s final match, a 2-0 improved by Colombia during a Pan American Games in Toronto.

“The biggest problem is that a training routine has been interrupted. But that’s also a beauty of a plea ahead: we have to reconstruct all from scratch,” explained a 61 year-old coach, who has already started operative with a comparison team.

“Today, we don’t have a pool of players to feed into a U-17 side, and from there into a U-20 side, and from there into a comparison team. That’s since a categorical priority is to get a clearer design of all a players accessible around a country, since we also need to be operative with a girl teams by October.”

Borrello’s initial spell (2003-2012)

• 2 FIFA Women’s World Cup appearances: USA 2003 and China PR 2007
• 3 FIFA U-20 Women’s World Cup appearances: Russia 2006, Chile 2008 and Japan 2012
• 1 Olympic Football Tournament appearance: Beijing 2008
• 1 contest won: Copa America 2006 

Borrello believes that a approaching launch of a National Championship is a step in a right direction. Unlike a existent Primera and Segunda Division tournaments, that usually underline clubs from Buenos Aires and a surrounding area, clubs from all over a nation will contest in a new championship.

“It’s a revolution, since it will connect all a good work that is already being finished outward of a capital. It will be some-more competitive, and any organisation could validate for a Copa Libertadores,” suggested Borrello. The manager led UAI Urquiza to dual Primera Division titles, as good as a third place in a Copa Libertadores in 2015.

“What’s more, it will offer to motivate a footballers and enthuse some-more girls to play. The pool of talent will therefore grow, and a players will arrive during a inhabitant girl teams improved trained.”

However, time is already during a premium. In early 2018, Argentina will horde a South American U-17 Championship, that will act as a subordinate contest for a FIFA U-17 Women’s World Cup in Uruguay. The nation will also take partial in a South American U-20 Championship in Ecuador, that will act as a subordinate contest for a U-20 Women’s World Cup in France.

“Qualification will not be easy, and my superiors know it. We wish to start saying formula by 2020. But that doesn’t meant that we won’t be fighting for qualification.”

Challenges forward for a comparison side
It is a identical story for a comparison side. They will contest during a Copa America in Chile subsequent April, where dual and a half places during a Women’s World Cup 2019 (a play-off will be contested between CONCACAF’s fourth-placed organisation and CONMBEOL’s third-placed team) and dual places during a Women’s Olympic Football Tournament 2020 will be adult for grabs.

Nonetheless, Borrello sees means for hope. “I have faith in a ability of a footballers to tighten a opening that has non-stop up. we pronounced as most to a group, and they understood. They wish to make adult for these dual mislaid years, even if they know it won’t be easy.”

What does he meant by ‘gap’? “The rest of South America stole a impetus on us: while we weren’t playing, a others done good progress. Brazil used to be a large adversary here, and differently we only had to concentration on a World Cups. Now we need to recover a standing in a region,” he explained, citing a advances done by Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador.

In sequence to do so, a mantra is simple: compete, compete, compete. “That is where a players can put all into use and unequivocally progress: by personification an general fixture, underneath pressure, in front of a crowd. We can’t means to arrive during tournaments under-prepared.”

“It also affects proclivity levels, and of not only a players though a coaching staff too,” he added. “Because we also have to reconstruct a certainty levels of a organisation of players who have not represented their nation in over dual years.”

For Borrello and Argentina, now is a impulse to start creation adult for mislaid time.
