Alberto Gamero, Millonarios coach, highlighted the work of the players who had to take on the classic 311 against Santa Fe, in which he achieved victory despite having many casualties.
Millionaires had three players in their respective teams: Álvaro Montero, in the senior team of Colombia; Óscar Cortés in the Sub-20 and Juan Pablo Vargas, in the Costa Rican Sub-20.
In addition, it has Óscar Vanegas, Ómar Bertel, Stiven Vega, Luis Carlos Ruiz and Leonardo Castro in the medical department, and this Sunday Fernando Uribe joined that list.

I think this is happening to us, but the peace of mind is that they are not injuries that require a lot of work, that happen to any player. I ask that they recover quickly, but with respect to the injured, I always look at those who are well. Despite having seven, eight players on the outside, the team has responded to expectations,” said Gamero.
“If we manage to maintain this, get into the home runs and get these people back, we’re going to be much better. Here we don’t have to look for culprits. There are some who are speeding them up, others who are taking longer, but the medical department is working tomorrow and late”, added the blue DT.
Gamero’s annoyance with Elvis Perlaza
Gamero did not hide his annoyance at the yellow card that Elvis Perlaza received, which even saved him from being sent off. He explained why he took it out at the intermission of the classic.
“We were playing a classic, a good game was being played by both teams, without fear and without fear, without holding anything back. I told him that a yellow card for a throw-in… I don’t like my team burning up time, I like it play with rhythm and Santa Fe also played with rhythm. A yellow annoys me, then there was another foul, they could go look for it and we could keep ten”, he said.
Gamero explained his approach to the clásico: “When the game started we had two midfielders 10, two midfielders on the inside (Mackálister and Cataño). He told them not to worry about the sides. He wanted her to be close to Uribe. That’s how we went on winning the game with a play from them. At the end of the first half I see that they are attacking me with Viáfara and De la Rosa.

I needed a player there. I told them in training: when we see that if Santa Fe attacks us on one side, we will be blind on the other. That is why a more self-conscious Silva was seen. He had to play more as a left winger and I left Cataño free on the attack front, he had more freedom than Silva. In the second half, placing them at the ends and internalizing the game when we had the ball helped us a lot”.
The coach spoke about the medical situation of Fernando Uribe, who did not come out for the second half. “He told me that he had a problem in the adductor. I asked him if he wanted to continue, but in this we have to look at the human being. As a professional he wants to continue, but he doesn’t know the consequences later. Today was a game in which he had players to replace him and Cataño could play false 9. God willing it is small, but it did come out with a nuisance ”, he said.
