Millonarios, forced to beat Bolívar in Copa Libertadores, to fight: time and TV channel

Millonarios came to the Cup with great expectations, but these have been diluted with the passing of the games and the team’s performances. With only one point, while Bolívar already has 9, his options of advancing to the next round are reduced, in addition, the other favorite of the group, which is Flamengo, from Brazillost to Palestino, 1-0.

In any case, Millonarios has not delivered. The idea, or at least the speech they have given in the team, is that they will fight until the end. Nothing is lost. There are three games left, two in a row at home. What the blue team cannot allow is to stumble today against the rival that has turned out to be the strongest in the group.

“We wanted Millonarios to go out and win wherever they go. The mistakes have led us to not score the points we tried to have; Sometimes there are results where they happen because we don’t specify. We are not going to cover up the fact that we have a debt with our country internationally,” he admitted. Alberto Gamero after the last defeat against Palestino, in Chile.

Millonarios regained his strength with his reaction in the local League, in which he managed to get into the home runs when he was already considered eliminated. They won 6 games in a row and got in, but at the start of group A they lost as a visitor against Junior. Gamero’s team has fallen short of competing in both competitions. If you react on one, you give in on the other. Staying strong in both is not an easy task, especially when the team has suffered so many injuries.

For example, in Barranquilla he could not count on Daniel Cataño, Mackalister Silva or center back Andrés Llinás, who suffered from a virus. Gamero will be able to count on his usual center back today, especially at a time when the team needs the greatest defensive security, to avoid a surprise against the Bolivians.

Precisely in La Paz, against that same rival, Millonarios suffered many defensive failures. A lesson not to repeat. Mackalister also returns to the squad.
The DT is realistic. He knows that the panorama is complex. That is why he himself stated after the defeat in Chile that thinking about a place in the Copa Sudamericana (the third in each group in Libertadores qualify for the play-off) is an option to continue on the international level if he is not given the results in the Libertadores. .

“Undoubtedly, today we have a result that we did not expect, we arrived with the greatest hope and it was not possible; With one point missing nine it becomes complicated, very hard, but as one says, we have two possibilities to continue fighting in this cup and the other is the Sudamericana,” said Gamero.

But the team promised to fight until the end, and for that they will go today, at home and with their people, in search of a mandatory victory.
