Maximum concern in the Millonarios fans for the formation of the team for the 2022 season. Not only were sensitive departures suffered, the board of directors, led by Enrique Camacho and Gustavo Serpa, does not have in its plans to make a great economic effort to bring at least a top level player.
It is worth remembering that the Albiazul team will not only play Liga and Copa BetPlay this year, it will also be one of the Colombian representatives in the Conmebol Libertadores (previous phase). It is a giant challenge for which there does not seem to be the right planning, at least from the nominal point of view.
Without a doubt, the biggest concern is in the attack, more precisely the forwards. The uncertainty is total.
After the departure of the striker Fernando Uribe and the return of Ricardo Márquez to Unión Magdalena, the top part was left with two variants: Jader Valencia and Diego Abadía. The problem is that the first is not a born center-forward but a winger that can be used in that position. At least that is how coach Alberto Gamero has located it.
With the above on the table, the fans hoped that Serpa, who is usually in charge of the big negotiations, would specify the arrival of a first-rate reinforcement. But everything seems to have been a mere mirage.
In dialogue with Caracol Radio, the club’s maximum shareholder assured: “We have a policy of financial responsibility and we are not going to bankrupt the team for bringing in an expensive player … The numbers in Colombia are disproportionate to our financial options … No We are going to stop removing players from our quarry for bringing players just for the sake of it. “
With this, the ideal replacement for Uribe was ruled out, at least until now …
After the statements, which greatly annoyed the fans, the name of a forward began to circulate and little by little it gained strength. Diego Herazo would come to the team as the third and last striker in the squad! The 25-year-old had a good time at Equidad in early 2021, but the last semester with Independiente Medellín went unnoticed.
Thus, Millos’s attack for the three tournaments this year would be made up of Jader, Abadía and Herazo.
Even the journalist Guillermo Arango indicated in the program ‘Pola y Bola’ that the situation is “difficult”: “What they tell me today, Friday, is that they stay like this. I asked them if they are not short and the answer was that Abadía hardly even played. I countered because now they have Copa Libertadores and they tell me that today Millonarios is not thinking of another striker”.
And the also journalist Julián Capera complemented: “I asked and they tell me that if something good appears in that position, they go for that. “It is likely that we will stay the way we are, but if an interesting alternative appears where they can spend a few extra dollars, it will be in that position.” I know that they keep evaluating some resumes of the alternatives that come from outside”.
