The logic ended up giving in the key of Fluminense and Millonarios. The Brazilians, with an infinitely higher payroll, advanced to the next phase of the Copa Libertadores, beyond one or another success of the ambassador team.
The overall score (4-1) revealed the disparity between a team armed to fight for the international title against another that barely strengthened for the local tournament.
Due to the above, in FUTBOLRED we bring you the analysis of the albiazul elimination in the Cup:
Individual errors: the biggest sin of Millionaires during the tie. In Bogotá he was one less, gave an advantage in a goal and missed a maximum penalty; in Rio he missed the mark. Something unacceptable against a team a priori superior.
Almost zero effectiveness: error not only in international tournament but in the local one as well. The total of both games was 16 shots, 9 of them on goal and he only scored one goal. None of the three strikers employed (Herazo, Márquez, Jader) made a difference.
Except Ruíz, little generation of game: Sosa’s red ended with the only partner of Daniel Ruíz in attack. Mackalister contributed very little both behind the striker and starting the game in the first line of midfielders, Larry Vásquez was extremely inaccurate and stopped counting.
Little exploited bands: the expulsion in Bogotá conditioned the projection of the wings and in Brazil it seems that the indication was not to go on the attack. Bertel sometimes reached the bottom line, Román did not weigh in either of the two duels. Extremely low level of the right side.
The team paid for the foolishness of the managers: it became clear that Millonarios did not have a payroll to look for something else in Copa. He only entrusted himself to the miracles that Gamero managed to do tactically. Total fault of the board of directors that did not hire players up to the responsibility that they had and that in turn improvised when hiring, an example of the latter seen with Celis who was a starter in Brazil without having a month of work with the group. There was no more and it was noted.
