He rowed and rowed, but it was not enough. This is how Millonarios ended their participation in 2020, which, for many, is considered a resounding failure.
After staying out of the group of eight in the regular phase, the ambassador team was benefited with the particular Liguilla, to play a playoff against Deportivo Cali, which allowed them to enter the South American Cup; However, after drawing 1-1 in the regulation 90 minutes, luck was not on the side of the Blues and on penalties they let the opportunity go.
With the elimination in Palmaseca, Millonarios closed a difficult year, in which his low performance during competitions left him without international participation in 2021, a fact that directly impacts the institution at a sporting and economic level.
Here at FUTBOLRED we analyze the pros and cons of a very controversial year for the ambassador.
Cons
Bad start: It is true that the Covid-19 pandemic took all teams by surprise and directly impacted the sports development of the squads during the season; However, when everything was normal (before the break), Millonarios did not show his best football and, wrapped in poor results (he only got a victory at the start) ended up catapulting the semester. This, in the end of the all against all, ended up taking its toll.
Woke up very late: After several months without football, Millonarios returned to competition and with resilience went from less to more. However, in the restart he missed several points and only until the match against Envigado did he find victory. It was date 14.
After the victory at the South Sports Center, the panorama for the blue team improved, this being an emotional embryo for the team, since it helped them to enter a winning streak and fight until the last hour to qualify for the playoffs. However, the blue box was dependent on other results and was not given.
Lack of players with hierarchy: In the midst of the crisis, one of the big problems that Millonarios faced was the lack of players with experience and hierarchy to get the team out of the sporting pothole. Reinforcements arrived, but they did not perform, therefore, the quarry ended up being the solution. In a large team with history, the development of the youth is important, but you cannot depend on them to be the protagonist in competitions.
Pros
Quarry: There are not many ‘pros’ in Millonarios, but we must highlight the good that Alberto Gamero found in the end: the quarry. For many years the ambassador team was claimed for the little opportunity given to the youth in the campaigns, but, faced with a totally atypical situation, the capital’s team had to use the minor divisions and they gave it results.
The best example of this success in the midst of the crisis was Juan Moreno; 21-year-old goalkeeper who ended up being a figure and an immovable piece in Gamero’s scheme. In addition, along with him stood out names such as Stiven Vega, Brenier Paz, Emerson Rodríguez, Andrés Llinás, Kliver Moreno, among many more.
Game idea: Millonarios did not achieve any title in 2020, but by the end of the season he managed to consolidate a good gaming identity. With Alberto Gamero at the helm, finally, the team found a course and that was reflected in several games of the contest.
The team’s rebound at the end was good, so the already structured and applied game idea will be vital to start the 2021 project on the right foot.
