return of Fernando Uribe and relief against Cali

The Millonarios coach spoke about qualifying for the Copa Libertadores.

Millonarios achieved the objective, qualified for the next phase of the Copa Libertadores, seeking to stay in the international arena. Victory against Universidad Católica and they will play the next round against Atlético Mineiro.

Alberto Gamero, Millonarios coach, spoke about the duel against the Ecuadorians, the return of Fernando Uribe and the payroll he would have against Cali.

Game analysis and change at halftime: bringing them another striker was vital. It wasn’t the plan, but the ability they had, intelligence. When they threw many centers, from all sides, he asked that they not do that. The boys understood, they took over the field and circulated the ball.

We generate the options, we finish the tight duel. They took shots from the side and in that they are strong, that carries risk. In a couple of cons we were able to increase the score. This classification is happiness.

Uribe’s action on the field and Mineiro: it’s a joy, when he entered, he gave us that feeling that he made him happy, rigged. I am happy when he is doing like today, I know of his difficulties and for him it was nice. The truth was I hadn’t budgeted for his entry.

I didn’t want him to be there for 45 minutes and I saw Castro tired. He did not have it in mind but it is satisfaction for us. It is to congratulate the medical department, they give it to us in a great way, to compete.

We know Mineiro, the Brazilians are good. We will have the first game here, we have to win on the way back. It is a category team, with international competitions. They left me with a great feeling and hopefully we can compete to reach groups.

Today there was a big wear. I will wait until Saturday to see which player will be in the capacity. But I must think about the duel on Wednesday, there are things that suddenly, I know that everyone criticized me for the Manizales thing.

The boys that day in Quito hardly slept. We arrived in Bogotá at 2 in the afternoon and we couldn’t train. When one sees the effort of a group, they get tired, more than others.

Perlaza and Cataño came out with a cramp, Llinás came out bursting. I have the peace of mind of having a good group. In Manizales the group left us with a good feeling.

Luis Carlos will have the exam tomorrow, to see what he has and what is the point to follow or if he should wait a bit to play. These days we will know.

You have to give the team another variant, perhaps not with the centers, but there are times when it comes down to it. What always appears in the statistics say that we did not arrive once, but we played in our own half. I told them about a pass in the area, so that the midfielder is on the side, throw a cross.
