millionaires qualified for the final of the Colombian Cup, but suffered more than necessary to seal their passage, since Independent Medellin He complicated it in the first part of the second leg of the semifinal: he tied the series, but the ambassador brought out his caste in the second half.
One of the goals was the work of David Macalister Silva, referent of the Bogota team, and leader of the midfield. ‘Maca’ breathed easy for the goal accomplished, but he did not escape from reality.
Captain’s Words
“We cannot let ourselves be carried away by joy, and we have to be self-critical. We lost the ball, we went long and we gave advantages. Each one made many mistakes,” the midfielder told Win Sports.
Then he raised his tone to say: “I think it’s the worst first time we’ve had in the era of teacher Gamero.”
Silva revealed that at halftime there was a hot moment in the Albiazul locker room, which served to react and come back.
“We had self-criticism. We told each other what we had to say in the dressing room; without being rude, without becoming arrogant at any time; but being aware that we were playing a step to a final. And playing a step to a final, or playing a final, is not that constant, so we had to be aware of that, “said Macalister.
Finally, he highlighted what had been done in the complementary part. “They are two totally different times: a second time in which we show gallantry, self-esteem, we pair with Luis Carlos (Ruiz) holding the two central DIM, to go eight against eight. We also tied the game with something we needed, which was goals from set pieces. Just as the first half is to make a lot of corrections, the second was to understand that we know how to suffer”.
And he did not forget the Albiazul fans: “The fans are a plus. We felt sorry for them, because there are many people who make a great effort to come and support us, so we are happy that we all leave happy (…) It is one more step in everything that has been done in this process. We hope to be up to the task in the final”.
