El Tigre wants a team in which he can have more minutes and in Millonarios he could achieve it, if he has a good moment he could return to the Colombian National Team.
These are the players who have marked an era in Colombian football. Alfredo Di Stéfano and Alfredo Pederna, coincidentally, also arrived at Millonarios. The first was a young promise from Argentina and the second, He was already an experienced player who undoubtedly managed to make a difference due to his talent.
