Gamero does not take out the umbrella with the countless injuries in Millonarios: ‘We cannot sleep’

Gamero He began the press conference by sending a special greeting to his mother for Mother’s Day, but he could not avoid the questions that were focused on almost the same thing: Why are there so many injuries in Millonarios?

“In this science we have nothing certain, nothing clear, but there is a key point, this team has played 99 games in a year and four months, that could be a reason for the injuries,” said the coach in the middle of the conference he offered with Captain Mackalister Silva.

“There are some muscle injuries and there are others that no one prevents. This is a contact sport and anything can happen. We didn’t have that budgeted, but we have been able to deal with it,” he added.

Gamero He assured that this is a team that has had little rest in recent months, but he was insistent in saying that it is an issue that must be evaluated with the institution’s doctors.​

“I want to know how many teams have played so many games to date. That may be a cause, but we must find the consequence and we will look. We must evaluate all of this, today we do not have a clear answer as to what happened, but we have also had accidental injuries like that of Leo Castro. We must believe in this so that everyone recovers as soon as possible,” he declared.

Now, you must prepare the players at your disposal and wait to recover soldiers in this final stretch of the semester: “​We are trying to analyze the situation. I don’t pay attention to the injured because I’m not a doctor, I have to prepare those who are fine. “We have to look for alter
natives and we can’t sleep.”

In addition, he spoke about the load of matches: “We look for this because we classify, If we didn’t qualify we had six less games. “What we never foresaw was the number of injuries.”

About the match against Pereira and the slightly more backward approach that he showed Millionaires of the second half, Gamero He stated that fatigue was beginning to take its toll, but the tactic worked and they defended well.

“In the second half we were not vulnerable, there was only one goal option from Pereira, we defended well. The team does not finish with the spark that it started with, but this is normal because the players are not made of iron and this has cost us , also with the number of injuries, without that number we would have two teams,” highlighted the coach.

Captain Mackalister Silva He also spoke about the approach and highlighted that the team has learned to defend itself in difficult moments in which before they suffered more than desired.

“We must appreciate that we have learned to defend, we will try to defend further from our goal. We are fine and personally we came out of the game safe and sound

Mackalister, like Gamer, They applauded that there are several young people who have debuted in this process and who have developed character to wear the albiazul jacket such as Brayan Campaz, Beckam Castro, Luis Paredes and Jhoan Hernández, who was chosen as the figure against Pereira.

​”Talking about my injured players is not going to end today. It makes me calm that there are a number of guys who scare us because of the support of the experienced players,” said Samario.

And Silva added: “It is a source of happiness and pride to see every time a young person makes his debut in this process. They debut because they have abilities and qualities, on the field we are all the same and we have the same responsibilities. “The young people have lived up to what Millionaires is.”

Finally, he spoke about the party of Copa Libertadores against Palestino: “Let’s see what we come up with against Palestinian to add our first three points in the Cup. We have this deficit and this bitterness of what is happening to us in the Cup, but in the Colombian League we are the second team that has scored the most goals and we are there fighting in reclassification.”

“We have learned to live with this. I am sure that I am not going to take out the umbrella, whoever is there knows that we have an obligation to win, fight for titles and Libertadores Cup. Unfortunately, we have had potholes,” he added about what was done in the season and the Copa Libertadores.​
