Millonarios did a good job in El Campín, defeating Santa Fe 0-3, in a new edition of the capital’s classic. The blue team overcame and imposed the rhythm, taking advantage of the cardinals’ failures, which determined the fate of the match.
Alberto Gamero spoke at a press conference, giving his impressions of the development of his coaches on the pitch.
Balance of the game: We did something we hadn’t been doing. We had not scored a goal from a still ball, we unbalanced it based on that. Winning by two, we run it, we run it. At times, Santa Fe wanted to go to the goal. I must say that the 0 to 3 stops saying that we faced a good team, that they came out to play it hand in hand. The goals gave us peace of mind and we knew how to manage the game. We interpreted the rival, they did not lower their arms. Congratulations to my players, they understood many things of what we have been doing.
Tranquility of what is shown on the court, in operation: I think we understood what we wanted, we visualized it, according to what was analyzed. It wasn’t that it was easy, we did things that we saw in the videos. We continue to have a debt in that, we have to score a goal in a still ball. The desperation had to be from Santa Fe. We always plan the games according to what we want to propose, not because of the rival. We understood that we had to circulate the ball, be calm at the start of the game.
The group understood that this Millionaire is about possession, about attacking the flanks. If you noticed, three 10 flyers can play, today they did. Those three if they have the sacrifice, they can do it more. We faced a rival who came out with the sides. Ruiz or Silva covered them. I liked the game better when he tried to keep possession and calm.
Planning to maintain rhythm in attack and rest days: I told them. In the last game with Santa Fe we didn’t play well, a lot of obstacles. Today we understood that it was difficult in the middle, with a steering wheel that also blocked. We had to give it traffic on the sides, we inverted the profiles of the ends, so that they ran inwards. Santa Fe has players for the passing game. So many centers were not necessary. It was important to take the ball to the sides, to attract them, patience was key and playing indoor soccer when there was space.
Monday and Tuesday we will recover, this is not about resting to rest. We came from a trip, two tough games. The group was stressed, I want to give them two days to enjoy with the family and we will meet again on Wednesday afternoon.
Anyone says that it is a lot of rest. Today the players will arrive home, tomorrow they will rest and on Tuesday they will recover. We start from that so that they arrive well at training. It’s not doing normal practice, 12 games have been played in a few days. It will be to strengthen and push players who are still with things pending. Things have to be corrected, we made mistakes in the filtered balls and others.
