A few hours after the debut of Millionaires in the Betplay 2025 Cup against Real Cartagena, coach David González did not dodged the theme that has been around the team after the end of the last semester: the Radamel Falcao García exit. And beyond sports analysis, the coach put the focus where it hurts the most: in the country he did not know how to take care of his idol.
“There are many factors, beyond football, which led him to make that decision,” González acknowledged at a press conference. “For those of us who are not accustomed to this country to Matoneo, not to respect anything, that social networks become such an easy weapon to unsheathe, because it is a strong blow.”
González was direct. He did not talk about injuries, or age, or the calendar. He spoke of a toxic digital culture that turned into wear and exit through the back door. “We are all guilty that he has made the decision to live calmer,” he said.
The 'tiger' leaves not for lack of love of the shirt, but for the need to take care of his family and his mental peace. González, far from staying aside, tried to avoid it until the last moment: “With Radamel I spoke many times. Even a couple of days ago I sent him a message asking him if there was no way.”
Millionaires starts its way in the Betplay Cup this Thursday at Campín. The team arrives by the results and the atmosphere of tension that is breathed between fans and managers. González asked for patience, but not to justify the unjustifiable, but to give space to the reinforcements that have not yet been able to show their level. “All hiring will be good as they give results,” he said.
Falcao's departure hurts, and González knows. Because he didn't leave one more striker. He left a symbol. He left a player who chose to come, but to which the environment ended up expelling.
