The blue coach analyzed the tie with Bolívar, the possibilities in the Cup and the anger of the fans.
Alberto Gamero was sad and disappointed by Millonarios’ 1-1 draw against Bolívar, on date 4 of group E of the 2024 Copa Libertadores, as it is a result that leaves him almost eliminated to qualify for the round of 16, and committed to achieving the place in the Copa Sudamericana.
From the last place in the standings, the Albiazul coach analyzed the game against the Bolivian rival, and declared that it was “a complicated match against a great team. Players fell, the injury of (Leonardo) Castro, of (Stiven) Vega, of Sander (Navarro). It costed us”.
Gamero added that in “the first half it was well played by both teams, but in the second half it was more even; We didn’t have clarity. They tied us up in a play that we had seen in several videos, we were careless. This defeat is going to cost us hard.”
“It is not a decision to go back or what the players want, the rival makes us go back and where we fail is on the counterattack, it is in handling the ball on the rebounds, that is where we lose,” continued the Millonarios coach.
Furthermore, Gamero spoke about the fans, who ended up expressing their anger over the Libertadores campaign: “The sun rises tomorrow and on Saturday we have an important match. One understands the fans, the fan can shout, we can’t. Many times we are more hurt than the fan. We are hurt and I know that the fan is hurt. It is our turn to bring joy back to the fans. It is difficult to qualify for the group stage, our dream was to play it, but many things have happened to us, we always have in mind giving joy to the fans.”
