How do millionaires play?

Jose Orlando Asensio: “It is a very offensive team, with two wings, with a 9 jersey, which was Uribe (formerlyflamingo), but that went to Junior Barranquilla. But this almost always maintains the idea. The team has a player at right-back, Roman, who almost missed Boca Juniors, but he had a health problem. There’s Daniel Ruiz, one of the wingers and he’s had a lot of good results.

Marden must: “the Millonarios is a young team that usually plays in attack. Its distinguishing feature is the 4-3-3 scheme. Defense with wings go to attack. Two central steering wheel, one regulator. Extreme youth with speed. and front center. From this scheme, top scorer Uribe went to Junior Barranquilla, as did second midfielder Geraldo.

Antonio Cortes:It’s a team that bets a lot in midfield, with Emerson Rodriguez and David Silva, the team’s reference man, and Emerson Rodriguez’s youngster, David Silva. This semester, they have given good results and shown that they are the strongest part of the team, which is where football originated.

What are the team’s strengths?

Jose Orlando Asensio: “The strong point is the attack. It is a team that attacks a lot and attacks well. It shows a lot on both sides, especially on the right side.”

Marden must: “It’s an attacking team that plays attacking, but it has lost its top scorer, Uribe, and is looking for another striker.” It’s a team that plays forward, with wings and fast youth.”

Antonio Cortes: “The strength of the team is the midfield, with Emerson Rodriguez, David Silva, Emerson Rodriguez and David Silva.”

And what are the weaknesses?

Jose Orlando Asensio: “The weak point is the defence. But I think they managed to solve a weakness which is the goalkeeper. The team didn’t have a unified goalkeeper this year. But they hired Montero, who was the start of Tolima and defending Colombia. Another point is that the team is a bit unbalanced. , as he has a lot of offensive career, and ends up struggling in defense.”

Marden must: “Your weak point is defense. I don’t have much experience international“.

Antonio Cortes: “His weakness is the defensive scheme. We saw that they kept a lot of players and players who made a lot of mistakes, mistakes that made the team move away from the Grand Final. Massive mistakes. That’s why Melonarius lost a lot and was excluded from the Colombian final that took place between Deportivo Cali and Tolima.”

What does playing at El Campin look like?

Jose Orlando Asensio: “It is a very good stadium. Improved lighting, lawn in excellent condition. It’s a practical and big stadium.”

Marden must: “The stadium receives 35,000 spectators in the stands. It has good grass. Great field.”

Antonio Cortes: “El Campin is one of the best stadiums in Colombian football. I would say that if it’s not the best, it keeps the grass well, its lighting is modern, which has just been changed. It has good drainage, good grass, and an ideal pitch for any league, And for any match, even for Brazilians who like to exchange passes with the ball.

What is the coach’s playing style and how does it relate to the club?

Jose Orlando Asensio: “The coach performs very well, he has directional support. I reached the semi-finals. They fought for the classification. He renewed the contract for another two years and there is a long-term plan with him. For Colombian football, it’s a long time.

Marden must: “The coach is Alberto Gameiro, a good coach who works with the youth teams. He has raised many players. He has had a good campaign this season. He has worked well without having the best payroll, without being hired.”

Is the team looking for reinforcements or is it undergoing a rework?

Jose Orlando Asensio: “The team lost Giraldo and Uribe, the team’s top scorer. He lost important players. He is looking for a scorer. They are talking to Caicedo, from Tolima. They are looking for a central defender as well. The team has no resources in these situations. The team is also looking for a recovery and a defensive midfielder. .

Marden must: The team lost Uribe and Geraldo to Junior. He is now looking for a top scorer who could be Caicedo, from Tolima, to continue. And hired goalkeeper Montero from Tolima.

Antonio Cortes:The team is undergoing a revamp and will need to strengthen itself to try to outpace a competitor like Fluminense. The team is in the process of reinforcing to try to feud over the Libertadores. So far, the important players have left. Uribe, the team’s top scorer. Giraldo, wheel of healing, one of the best players.
