The start of the BetPlay League 2021-II home runs is looming. Millonarios, who finished all against all in the second box and therefore head of Group B, begins their way against América de Cali.
In the preview of the match, Alberto Gamero spoke at a press conference about the first sensations that his zone rivals leave him, the news of his team and what he expects against the scarlet box, which by the way has not defined the venue for the duel of this Sunday.
Follow here the statements of coach Samarium:
Group B analysis – It’s a tough, very tough home run. We are playing the eight best in Colombian soccer and that is why the matches will get tough. We find very strong and athletic teams. Although there is a team that is not common in these home runs like Alianza Petrolera, we know that since (Hubert) Bodhert arrived he has put it to work well. It is a serious team with very good ball possession. Both America and Tolima and Alianza form an even group. In my view, they are teams that better work defense-attack transitions. This is a group in which he does things better, he will qualify and we will aspire.
Brain work – We have worked well this week, with our feet on the ground, a lot of humility and knowing that we are going to face a tough home run. Of the 20 games, all that must be forgotten, it is only to remember and correct mistakes. The main thing is that we know that this starts from scratch and we must try to start ‘hitting’. On Sunday we expect a good result.
Team news – The medical part is good. Yuber (Quiñones), García who came out with an annoyance and Kliver (Moreno), those are the players who are in the medical department plus Giraldo’s suspension. For the rest we have the entire campus available. These Wednesday-Sunday-Wednesday matches have allowed us to work on the attack-defense transitions, which are the ones in which we have had problems because when we attack we do not retreat well, we look bad and they score a counterattack. These short tournaments are going to be weeks where you won’t be able to work as much and instead try to get your players back as well as possible.
Message to the team in finals – It is clear, we have not won anything. What we want to do is to come and the first thing we have to do is go to the final. The 20 dates have already passed, the second place has passed and now we are all starting from scratch. It is a new tournament and hopefully we can be in the grand final.
Defensive difficulties – We are trying to keep our balance. The problem is that when teams are purposeful and offensive like us, we are going to leave a crack. We work on the formula so that this does not happen, but I understand it. We have sides that go on the attack: wide-deep or inside and deep, then at any moment we will have those cracks. We are working on it.
