As if decoding a secret file, Néider Morantes, ruse of the title that Medellín won Nacional, reveals something of not believing that happened before that final …
“Three in the morning and they were looking for us all over Medellín … Pedro wanted to kill me,” says Néider Morantes in Two Points and Apart, a program on Canal Teleantioquia.
Perhaps there is no other more important game in the history of the classics between Atlético Nacional and Independiente Medellín than that direct final in 2004, the only one in history, and that the “Poderoso”, with an inferior team, beat the “King of Cups ”.
“In the semifinal, against Cali, we played here on Wednesday. And Nacional played in Cali with America. We are 3-3. A very verriondo party, very suffered. We were close to a special date, I don’t know if it was before a Father’s Day ”, rebuilds Morantes.
The “Red” was directed by Pedro Sarmiento, who was nicknamed “Piedro” for his quick, brave, short-tempered character. Disciple of the old school: Oswaldo Juan Zubeldía and Gabriel Ochoa Uribe, “Piedro” decided to concentrate the team to play that final without “before” and until today without “after” in the history of both clubs.

“They called me ‘Barriga’, Pedro put me like this. And the boys: “Nei, talk to the teacher, let us out.” And I: ‘Piedro, come, look, we qualify for the final and aren’t you going to let us out? And Piedro: No No! Nothing! I know you guys. ’ And I: ‘Give him Piedro, give him Piedro!’ And that man: ‘No Belly, no, nooo’. Me: ‘Until 12 teachers, until 12 no more …’ ”.
Piedro’s heart was spoken with the pots of “Barriga” and he ended up running the safety locks. The boys, four days from the most important final in the history of the two most citric rivals in Medellín, left on the condition of meeting the Cinderella schedule, that is, returning to the hotel at 12 o’clock or earlier.
“Judicious? Hey this one! Three in the morning and they were still looking for us all over Medellín ”, recounts“ Barriga ”as he lays back with laughter. “That because it already happened and everything, but these infidences …”.
While the reds sank in the gloom of the night and “hydrated” with alcohols, phenols and ethanoles before the game of their lives, the greens slept in their fluffy beds, far from any noise and apart from all evil temptation …
“We all got blown up. Pedro wanted to kill me. The next day we had training, on Monday, to play the final Wednesday, we could not train. And Pedro: ‘I’m going to kill them,’ ”says Neider, while accentuating the fury of the strategist with gestures of drama.
But “Barriga”, close to turning 29 years and after having made history with Nacional -something for which the Dim fan at first looked at him suspiciously-, after having
sweating the Atlante and Irapuato jerseys in Mexico, plus those of Atlético Bucaramanga and Once Caldas, he was so mature and made as to stand up to the “ríspido”…
“Piedro, I’m going to tell you something: We are going to win! Believe in us! ’ What a great commitment! We won! And if not, they kill us, they kill us… ”, rounds Néider a story that until now was codified.
