Mario Vanemerak is one of the references that Millionaires currently have, the Argentine knows the weight of the blue shirt, and in his two facets with the club (as a player and as a coach), he made it clear that not everyone can do it. history.
Declared a loyal fan of the team and also recognized by the fans of the capital team, Vanemerak is the authorized voice to talk about the moment of Millionaires, whose level went from less to more, and today he is fighting for a place among the eight finalists.
Precisely, with his sights set on the weekend’s match against Alianza Petrolera, which could define the future of the blue team this season, the former Millonarios strategist spoke with FUTBOLRED about the resurgence of the blue team, the criticism for his statements passes and the importance of the quarry in the final stage of the championship.
Millionaires and the dream of qualification
“It’s complicated because Millonarios always have to be at the top, there is already an elimination of Suramericana, and the idea is to be able to enter (playoffs) to be able to fight titles, and once you are there everything is different “.
“What happens is that it comes from game to game, and it seems to me that you are already feeling tired, it is normal, you are playing Sunday-Wednesday-Sunday-Wednesday. The illusion is there, you do the math and I think it will be a good fight to the end; It does not depend on Millionaires, he can win and he gets involved, but you also have to see what happens with the other teams, especially Equity. Four or five dates ago, nobody thought that Millionaires would be fighting the possibility of classifying by the results and the standings”, Said the former midfielder.
The critics
“They woke up, the criticism also touched them a lot. I was one of the critics and they got mad at me, but they have to react, so when they play badly or don’t win, do we have to applaud them? No. I am one of the critics of Millonarios, I want Millonarios to always win and well, many draws, we did not lose, but we did not win either, so I think they reacted, they realized that the criticism helped them to wake up and they did it quite well “.
“They reacted and woke up late, Millionaires have a big problem: here if you don’t win the criticism comes. When he wins, they are praising him, and so it should be; but when you lose the criticism they will also come because this is Millionaires“.
“I want the players and the coaching staff to understand well, that when you win they will raise you, when you lose they will criticize you because this is Millionaires, So if they got mad at me let them get mad, I know they are mad at me especially Gamero who is my friend, he got mad because I criticized him, but when I proposed that Gamero direct Millonarios, who did everything possible on social media, Gamero never told me He called to say thank you. I don’t need you to say thank you. I want him to do well, but they have to accept criticism when he plays badly. ”
“All of us who have been in Millonarios have always had criticism because the fan got used to the fact that Millonarios must always fight titles. When things don’t work out, obviously the fan gets hot and says things, but they don’t have to get angry because this is Millionaires No one wants to draw anyone here, I am not interested in reaching Millonarios because Gamero will sometimes think that I criticize him, I had never criticized him but I criticized him after the Águilas game, my intention is not to get there, I have dignity, I went a football guy and I know how this is. I do not want to draw anyone and I wish him the best “, he indicated.
The importance of the quarry
“The peeled were the solution because long-time goalkeepers like Bonilla and Vargas came, however, Moreno, who is 21 years old, ended up covering and was the solution. Emerson Rodríguez appeared, who I think is a good player. Llinas and Paz appeared who did not play, but I think the boys gave results; basically, those who came could not, it has cost them. For example, Godoy came as a ’10’ or down payment solution and ended up playing as a leading marker. Without a doubt, the peeled ones pushed the team forward, with the respect that the other players deserve, we have to give a lot of credit to the peeled ones. That is to rescue. “
“Due to injuries, the coach has had many difficulties to have a constant payroll, we must give credit to the coach in the sense of being able to find a team, on the fly he was rearming the team, always a piece fell and fortunately he was accommodating and those who entered were giving up and that is worth a lot. You can put the kids but if they don’t give up… They still gave up. You have to give a lot of credit to the boys. It is a good possibility for them to trust the peeled. However, despite the championship being finished well, we must weigh in bringing players. You have to bring in players so that these peeled players who are playing well are surrounded by higher-ranking players with a higher hierarchy, who can have many more games but with the support of players who make a difference “, concluded.
