Millionaires almost resigned their chances of qualifying for the final of the BetPlay League 2021-II this Thursday, after equaling one with Deportes Tolima in El Campín. With five units, the mission is complicated.
In this regard, coach Alberto Gamero regretted the failures of his team, pointed out the points that have escaped in the last minutes and generated concern with the first impressions of Andrés Felipe Román’s injury.
Victory slipped away in the end – How are we going to go back if we had the clearest options in the first and second half. It is normal for a team to come to us after losing. They were looking for a tie. There was no danger, there was no refuge. The only way they tied us was how they did it: a still ball, a corner kick and a mistake from us. It was not seen, the game was controlled with very good management. That is football, we have already lost seven points in the last 10 minutes and this has cost us. It is a virtue of the rival because in the last play 7-8 players went to head and we were wrong, but regardless of all Millonarios did everything to win, he commanded the field. Unfortunately we lose two points that we had the illusion of qualifying. Now is to rest, correct and seek victory against Alianza.
Millionaires settled for 1-0 – We were not clear to be able to increase the score, but we were looking for it. So much so that in the last minutes Ruíz comes out for Valencia to enter because we wanted to look for another goal. We were not given, Bertel’s play that hits the stick and Uribe has left to go outside, two plays by Gómez who threw the center very far … We tried. I never saw the team conformed to 1-0, we were looking for the other goal, but we knew we were playing with a difficult team, especially with the ball still. We have to be honest, we neglected, we made mistakes in branding and they charged us.
What comes in the closing of home runs – There is sadness because we drew two games against a good team, but in both we had to have won because of what we did on the pitch. We didn’t, it cost us in the last minutes. We have two games left to fight, we are not going to lower our arms, we are going to fight and hopefully we can get it. We will go looking for a good result in Barranca and then come to play against America and wait for the possibility.
Andrés Felipe Román’s injury – I imagine it must be a sprained ankle. When he started to warm up for the second half he felt it hurt, they put a boot and ice on him and he could not bear the pain. Change. We have these two days to know how the sun rises to see if you can travel to Barranca.
