Why could this Millonarios eliminate Nacional in Sudamericana?

National Athletic On paper he is the favorite in this key against Millionaires by CONMEBOL South Americanthe Purslanes have a great squad, they play as a single-game home team and the process with their coach is a little longer than that of their rival, however, the Ambassadors have some items that raise doubt and suggest that they could hit the Atanasio Girardot.

Why could Millos eliminate Nacional in Sudamericana?

Ascending curve

Since the arrival of Fabián Bustos as Technical Director, the team has shown improvement, in less than a month the team has been adopting the ideas of the Argentine coach and only suffered one defeat in five games, achieved three victories and also added a point against Cali as a visitor, a Cali that, among other things, already knew how to defeat this Nacional.

But not only has the collective level of Millonarios improved, with the new coach several footballers have taken on a new lease of life and have risen, the team has gained confidence from its defensive zone and has been forceful in attack.

Experienced technician

Fabian Bustos He had never coached in Colombia, but in his statements he showed that he had followed the FPC and its different clubs for a long time. At 56 years old, he is a coach who knows what it means to play this type of game. He has been a champion in Ecuador and Peru, he reached the semifinals of a Libertadores as a strategist, and he also directed high-caliber soccer matches in Brazil and Paraguay.

Players with experience

Bustos has several experienced players on his team, players accustomed to playing this type of definitive matches and in hostile places, some of them even played for Atlético Nacional in the past. Among these, Millonarios has men with a lot of weight behind them such as Falcao Garcia, Leonardo Castro, Mackalister Silva, Darwin Quintero, Jorge Arias, Sergio Mosquera, Danovis Banguero, Andrés Llinas, Rodrigo Urena and Rodrigo Contrerasamong others.

Scorers

Without a doubt Millonarios has one of the most feared attacks in Colombian football, with the arrival of Rodrigo Contreras The team added a quality man in the attack, but there is also the scorer Leonardo Castro and we don’t even have to mention the epaulettes of Radamel Falcao García. All three have already scored this semester and even on a couple of occasions the Argentine coach had them on the field at the same time. The team has rediscovered the goal, coming from beating Pereira 5-1.

Background

Although it is only a fact, in a very similar context, almost two decades ago Millonarios faced Atlético Nacional and eliminated it from CONMEBOL Sudamericana with a victory included in the Atanasio Girardot. In 2007 the Ambassadors were going through a bad time, a few days before they had been beaten by Deportes Quindío, they had also recently changed coaches due to the bad results and against all odds they struck in Medellín. It was a different series with round-trip matches, in Bogotá the passage of Albiazul was certified.
