Alignment of millionaires
Millionaires and Deportivo Cali are measured at a crossing that mixes history, urgency and morbidity. In the middle of all there is a man: Alberto Gamero. The Samario coach returns to the stadium where he raised titles, formed a competitive base and won the love of much of the blue fans, but does it dressed in green, at a time when neither team can afford a transition.
Gamero did not step on the Nemesio since last December, when he finished his cycle of almost five years with millionaires. There was no public farewell or cheers, just a silent closure after being out of the final. Now he returns as coach of a Cali who sails in agitated waters: he occupies box 13, has won just one of five games and arrives hit by a 0-3 at home against Llaneros.
On the other bench will be David González, who lives his own storm. Millionaires is last, with three losses in three games and without marked goals. The two postponed games do not make up a start that worries more about the level shown than for the position in the table. In 270 minutes, the team has generated just a clear occasion. The falls against equity, Llaneros and Medellín lit the alarms, and the patience of the fans shortens. The debut of the Uruguayan goalkeeper Guillermo de Amores and the possible entrance of the striker Jorge Cabezas Hurtado appear as the new letters to try to reverse the bad streak.
The history of the confrontation adds one more layer to the expectation. In the League, faces have been seen 276 times, with a registry favorable to Cali (101 wins against 96 of million). However, in Bogotá the balance is different: 72 blue victories in 137 games. In addition, Millionaires defends an undefeated 12 years at home against Verdiblanco in the domestic tournament. A fact that the fans wants to maintain, but that Gamero will try to break without looking back.
This classic, the “old” of Colombian football, does not arrive with teams in its best version or with the fight for the tip as a seasoning. It comes with pressure, need and feeling that a defeat could open cracks difficult to close. For Cali, it would be sink more in irregularity. For Millos, continue caught in a start that threatens the semester.
The Campín, with a long memory and high demand, will be a judge and witness. What happens this Friday can redefine the plans of two projects that began with ambitious speeches and that today cling to a triumph like lifeguard. It is not one more game: it is a night that is played with the table in hand and the pressure breathing in the neck.
