According to Millionaires history, it’s a bust. By how the series took place and what was already expected from the draw itself in advance, knowing that Mineiro would become the rival at this stage can give nuances to this failure that help to pass on the bad drink and think positively about the prize that consolation remained: the Copa Sudamericana.
Although the Frenchman was superior in the series and the fair winner, the feeling is that the difference on the field was not as dire as predicted. Millionaires did a worthy run, fighting within their means and with a slim hope of hitting Mineirao; This goal was not achieved, but the continental research leaves not only the bitter trail of elimination, but also positive things to keep working on.
Gamero’s team proved to be a team with a certain versatility as with the pronounced favoritism towards Mineiro they played two games in something they don’t normally do in the local context where they always try to be dominant. In Brazil he had his options and he died with his boots on, he did what he could, held on as long as he was allowed and will continue in international competition.
And in the South American it must of course show a completely different face. Although the demand will be there, Millonarios can do well in the cup if he returns to his origins, to what he knows, to what he has shown and to the arguments. Defeat leaves lessons and they must be held from now on.
