Millonarios does not want to lower his arms, he does not want to feel defeated before giving the last battle, he promises to give it, it will be today in Brazil, against the tough Fluminense, who already beat him in El Campín, 1-2, last week. You need to win by a minimum two goal difference to avoid penalties and qualify for phase 3 of the Copa Libertadores. He goes for the feat from 7:30 pm (ESPN), at the São Januário stadium, of Vasco da Gama.
In Bogotá, Millonarios managed to show that it was not impossible to beat that rival who is full of figures. The demonstration lasted less than 20 minutes, as he won 1-0, played well, played, had Fluminense in trouble, until he lost Venezuelan Eduardo Sosa by expulsion. Then the match was over.
for the comeback
He had to settle for not losing for more. And with everything and that he had a penalty that Silva missed and that would have changed history. But that’s already the past. Now, eleven against eleven, the blue team promises that they will give their best display, they refuse to be left out of the international tournament so soon, although they need to appeal to the epic.
“I see the group convinced that we can, the first 20 minutes we played a one-on-one match. We were able to increase the score, we are with that mentality of playing a very important game. We have a difference of one goal and the first thing we have to do is think about going to tie the game. We have work and a team”, said DT Alberto Gamero.
The coach decided to play in the local league, in the last two games, with an alternate team, and it has given him results. That team beat Cortuluá on Saturday and today is the leader of the local league. “It was necessary to give peace of mind to the group that is traveling to Brazil, so that they arrive with a boost of spirit to Brazil to play in the Copa Libertadores. We are leaders of Colombian soccer and that gives us the power to go fight”, said the coach.
He will not be able to count on Eduardo Sosa for this battle, due to his suspension, but the team trusts that being without numerical inferiority, another demonstration of the capacity of this team can be given, which aspires to be able to be in the next phase of the tournament, in the that they would have to face Olimpia or Atlético Nacional, in order to reach the group stage.
Cano, the executioner
Fluminense will not be able to count on its attacking figure Fred, who suffered a puncture in his right thigh in the first leg, but without him, the news is not encouraging for Millonarios, since the Argentine Germán Cano would play, who always has Millos opposite he motivates himself, he scores, as he did in the first leg in Bogotá. Cano reached eleven goals scored in the same number of games against Millonarios. Ten of those celebrations were held with Medellín.
“I’m going to do what’s best for the team every time I have to play. The main thing is to have good performances to be up to the task, to be able to compete against other clubs and to do it in the best way”, said Cano.
Fluminense has nine wins in a row, its best streak in a season since 1959.
