Alberto Gamero lives really stressful hours. Millionaires occupy the 12th box of the local championship with 18 units and, as difficult as it may seem, they still have a chance to qualify.
Of course, the road to eight will be completely tortuous. The ambassadors have already survived Junior in Barranquilla (tied at one), but they still have two classics on the calendar and games for the Copa Sudamericana.
As already mentioned, the Albiazul team has 18 points and four games remain, that is, they must win absolutely all their matches to reach 30, a figure that, on average, qualifies for the final stages. Draw or lose automatically removes them.
However, the outlook is not what you would expect. Millonarios receives Nacional next Saturday in El Campín (10/31), then visits both América (11/8) and Pereira (11/11) and closes at home against Alianza Petrolera (11/15).
Although the classics are very tough games, Gamero’s team has the plus that both purslane and scarlet are direct rivals in the standings. The business is adding while taking points away.
To this must be added a factor of vital importance: the South American Cup. El azul receives Cali this Wednesday (10/28) and visits Palmaseca a week later (11/4). Four games in 12 days. Terrible situation for a team that has a short payroll and a long injury list. What’s more, in case of advancing to the third round, the rivals will be Vélez or Peñarol, that is to say, it will be time to travel and the wear will be even greater.
Thus, Millionaires must make a vital decision. Play all or nothing in the League, fight in South America or face both tournaments with the best possible preparation. The challenge is set.
