Alberto Gamero: ‘I’m not exhausted; On the contrary, I have much more energy’

The approach of the party. “The approaches, when the rival does it and you don’t score a goal, are good. If I come to ours, the approach was good, we had chances to score a goal and we didn’t. We knew that we were going to find spaces, that we were going to find bands. We do not define, they take the victory in a play from another game. Soccer is about scoring one more goal than the opponent and Bucaramanga did it well. “We didn’t find the chances of winning.”

What to do to improve. “The most important thing is that the team arrives. The goal comes from an outside-in extreme, almost with the line of four complete, (Delvin) Alfonzo slipped. What you try is to work to reach the goal. The definition is being worked on in the psychological part, there are legends that are giving information. We have to continue looking for a way. Brochero and Carvajal are young people who are going to learn and improve. We will continue working, this is not over. Not just the definition. If we can’t win, then let’s draw, don’t let them score a goal: Bucaramanga before the goal had not reached us.”

The medical report of the injured. “The one I suddenly see closest is Giordana, she has already started to make field. Castro is not yet making the field and Cataño was an operation. Vega has a sprained right knee, and Jhoan Hernández has a bruise on the sole of his right foot. They will not be here for Wednesday and possibly not for Saturday either. This hurts everyone. Players who are with that great hope… when Giordana was injured, Castro was injured and it was the opportunity for him to play as a number 9. It is a hard feeling for everyone.”

Were there a lack of reinforcements? “In this situation one has to say that they missed us, and they missed us, first, because of what we are seeing, and second, because of the injuries. Suddenly with the full team you can take other alternatives, we played with Macka on the left, Cataño on the right and Giordana and Castro. The situation: our players get injured at the moments when we need them most. If we needed to bring in players, we realize it at this moment with this number of injuries. We are not fortune tellers. Things have happened to us… Our two left backs were injured, another moment the two center backs, another moment the two 10s, now the two forwards. It seems like they agreed. “We still have possibilities.”

This time, the player who attended the press conference was Andrés Llinás, who spoke of the feeling in the squad due to the bad moment.

“The image of the team is clear, that what is happening to them hurts. In many games we have been superior and due to small details in definition and branding we have lost results. Football is not about merit. We have played better games than the rival but the results have not been given,” said Llinás.

Regarding the play of Bucaramanga’s goal and how much the state of the field was affected by the concerts, Llinás explained: “We were well stopped at the moment of the goal. It’s not easy to score a goal from where they did it. I don’t know if it was the concert’s fault, the grass was looser than normal, but that can’t be an excuse. Many times we have won because an opponent slips.”

Llinás also spoke about the large number of injuries that have affected Millonarios. “The issue of injuries is very complex. We were very excited about the group that had been put together but we have not been able to play with the full group. Without injuries that cannot be managed, they are not muscular, they are due to contact. We have rarely repeated an eleven due to many circumstances. I know that they are with us every day. We have a responsibility to represent in the best way on the field. “We are going to continue sticking up for them.”
