Nobody is responsible for an injury, there is no way to avoid it, it is nothing more than the work of misfortune itself.
But in Millionaires they still do not understand, how is it that always, when the definitions come in the Betplay League, an essential piece of the scheme falls out and urgent solutions have to be used. He happened with Christian ‘Chicho’ Arango at the time, with Fernando Uribe only in the last campaign and now, sadly, with Stiven Vega.
The talented blue midfielder, one of Alberto Gamero’s indisputable players, suffered an alteration of the anterior cruciate ligament graft in his left knee in a match against Pereira and, although it was thought that he could recover in a month, the news was discouraging: his recovery It will last for a minimum of eight months, so we will have to wait until February 2023 to see it in action again.
But the finals are still about to begin and, as in the past, reliable alternatives must be considered. And DT Gamero works happily with good results on that.
In the last match against Tolima, both were assured as leaders of the Betplay League, with which the duel against Alianza Petrolera on the 20th, in Bogotá, will serve to alleviate burdens and test options.
But he also left two good news: Juan Pereira and Larry Vásquez. The first was the best in recoveries (10), in duels won (6) and his well-known mid-distance punch was attempted three times, according to data from Colombia Analytics.

And the other option in midfield, Vásquez, who has made a very good pair with Vega himself and has almost fulfilled his role in the field, is not far behind either: he was the best in precise passes [71, 93 por ciento]the first in passes to the opposite field (42) and was the third in recoveries (3).
Larry Vásquez among all the players of Millonarios vs Tolima:

The sensations are favorable in the midst of the regret of not having Vega, but it can be a motivation for those who are available: for the fallen teammate, for the team but also for not missing a unique opportunity in the final instances, this time it cannot be fail.
