Oscar Córdoba strongly criticized Millonarios, eliminated from the Copa Libertadores: “It’s been a small team for a while”

The participation of Millonaries FC on the Liberators cup ended prematurely after failing to defeat Fluminense in Phase 2 of the tournament. The ‘ambassador’ team lost 4-1 on aggregate after a 2-0 loss at the stadium San Januario and added a new failure to Alberto Gamero’s project.

This drew heavy criticism on sports analysis shows. One of these came from the exporter Oscar Cordoba on ESPN F90who labeled millionaires as a small team and recalled some anecdotes of his time as ‘ambassador’ between 1991-1992 and 2008-2009:

“Millionaires has been a small team for a long time. I was in there and at some point several of us had to pay the payroll, and recover when the ticket office came out.

Before blaming the coaching staff and the players, Córdoba pointed against the directors and compared administrative processes such as those of National Athletic:

“Encountering a venue like Nacional’s, which nobody has in Colombia, is very similar to the big clubs in South America. They have been on a path of internationalization for a long time, and they got the Libertadores”.

The first shot on goal was made by Fluminense at minute five through William. Fluminense number 17 He shot to place the ambassador goal with his right leg and in the immediate reaction the peasant Álvaro Montero was able to take the shot with a changed hand to send the shot to the corner kick.

After that shot, it took a long time for the second obvious scoring opportunity of the match to be registered. The option was given after a missed pass by Larry Vásquez in the midfield at minute 30 and in stealing the ball Luis Henrique was attentive to outline himself and finish off the goal with his left foot to surprise Montero. The shot went slightly wide of the ambassador’s goal and Montero grazed the ball with his left glove.

Millionaires, meanwhile, he had his first arrival at the goal at minute 43 after a deep front center by Daniel Ruiz who was able to head Diego Herazo uncomfortable in the areabut that he did not have the necessary power to defeat goalkeeper Fábio.

Second time:

At 56 ′ Montero showed off sending a soft shot from David Braz to the goal to a corner kick. The goalkeeper from Guajiro was played but decided to stretch out on the ground to clear up any doubts and ensure a clean sheet in Brazil by sending a loose ball to the corner of his left hand.

The zero on the scoreboard was broken in the 60th minute. Once again by way of rebounds, the Rio de Janeiro team made use of the projection of Luis Henrique and Calegari on the right wing and after a cross sent to Germán Cano and stopped by Andrés Felipe Román, Willian appeared to sentence with a lethal right hand the 1-0 of the night.

Jáder Valenciawho had entered after halftime for Diego Herazo, had a clear header on the Fluminense goal at minute 66 after receiving a center from a corner kick. His head went over the crossbar of Flu and did not cause any danger.

Fluminense secured the series in the 72nd minute after a brilliant filtered pass from Iago Philip to the recently admitted Jhon Arias. The 24-year-old attacking midfielder from Chocó chipped the ball before Montero left and made it 0-2 on the scoreboard with the first ball he touched.

Millionaires will now think about what his rest of the season will be like in the BetPlay I League 2022of which he is the leader with 20 points and It will also have another latent domestic title, such as the 2022 BetPlay Cup. His next match will be the capital classic against Independiente Santa Fe on Sunday, March 6 at 6:10 p.m.
