Millonarios continues to win in the 2021 BetPlay League. This Sunday they beat Deportivo Pereira 3-2 in El Campín and climbed to the top of the tournament with ten points.
In this regard, coach Alberto Gamero spoke about the highlights of the game, specific performances of his team and details to correct.
Party sensations – I ended up in a rage because it was a game that we could have finished early. What Pereira did should be highlighted, but we let ourselves complicate the game and they took advantage of that. We had to have a quiet score, 3-0 and it was not done. But these games also give you an indication of how the goals were: corner kick and own goal. The team defended well and we have to learn from that. If you score two goals, it doesn’t mean that it was done wrong, you have to see how they were scored.
Changes – The Guarín thing I think was very good, we thought it would last 45 minutes and I see that it resisted. He came out as a precaution so that he would not give him a bother for exerting himself. Changes are made to change the outcome or sustain it. The one about ‘Chicho’ was to change it because they tied us and we needed a person to accompany Uribe. Fortunately he scored a goal. The change of Kliver was to reinforce the middle of the field, that of Paz was missing five minutes for the balls. It makes me happy to win, but I am sure that there are things to correct.
Difficult to sustain the result – If when you see that you are winning a match, the rival submits you in your goal and does not let you out, because you are in trouble but we are not. When we are winning the games, we still have the possibility of scoring a goal. Today the goals they made us were fortuitous, a corner kick and a deflected ball. This is not to hold. It is important that we win against a difficult opponent, who runs, young man. Sometimes it is good to correct by winning.
Adjusted wins – We have game after game in our minds and that is the most important thing this group has. Teams have to learn to suffer, much more in Colombian soccer because you find teams like what Pereira did today and that is good for our soccer. Undoubtedly the definition is costing us, the matches are won with goals, we are doing them and we are also making mistakes; main point. The mood of a player on the pitch when he loses goals and opportunities, because the rival grows and that happened to us today.
Team ups and downs – Potholes have all the teams, I don’t know a team that has 90 minutes without potholes. What happens is that there are some teams that with the pothole their rival scores them, as happened to us today. Most of the game we have it clearly, there are times when we have those potholes and the rival attacks us. This is correct, I want my team to have that regularity and that is achieved with goals.
