by A few hours after Millonarios defines his fate in the Copa Libertadores facing Atlético Mineiro, champion of this contest in 2013, the video of a little girl in the Monumental stadium went viral, cheering for River Plate, but with the shirt of the Copa Libertadores team. Colombian capital.
In the recording celebrated by Millonarios fans on Twitter, the little girl is seen on the shoulders of who is apparently her father, encouraging the Núñez club with the song: “I love you River Plate, I still follow you, you are my life, I will always encourage you, you are the greatest in Argentina.”
The scene, which adds thousands of “likes” on social networks, was apparently captured during the 3-0 victory of the cross band team over Godoy Cruz on March 12, a commitment in which Miguel Ángel Borja was not the starter, who is losing ground in the lead of the team with the young Lucas Beltrán.
Apparently, it is not the first time that the minor accompanies her father to watch River games, nor is it the first time that she wears the Millonarios shirt. Another video shows her inside a bus playing a drum and being part of the party that the bar lives on the way to the stadium.
About why the girl is wearing a Millonarios shirt, it is unknown if it was a gift received or, simply, it obeys the ‘brotherhood’ of the fans of this team and River Plate.
It is worth remembering that the last time Millonarios and River Plate played a match was on January 17, when the Argentine club beat the Colombian two goals to nil, the work of Miguel Ángel Borja and Emaniul Mammana, as part of the preseason for both teams in the United States.
As for Millonarios, this March 15 they must beat Atlético Mineiro in Belo Horizonte to advance to the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, given that, in the first leg, played at the Nemesio Camacho El Campín stadium, they tied a goal, goals from Macalister Silva and Paulinho.
Borja’s concern in river Plate
One of the changes with the arrival of coach Martín Demichelis at River Plate has been to look for a new striker to be more effective in the opposite area, Therefore, one of the main affected has been the Colombian Miguel Ángel Borja.
Despite the fact that the Colombian striker began as the starting attacker for the Argentine team, as was the case when River was led by Marcelo Gallardo, in recent games there have been rotations that have caused Borja to be relegated from the starting eleven in the most important games.
Borja managed to be the starting forward during the first four games of the Argentine league, but in recent games the impression has been left that the River coach prefers other attackers. Precisely, in the last press conference, Demichelis was asked about the order of importance in his attackers and although he did not decline for just one, the answer would be worrisome for the former Junior de Barranquilla striker.
“I am not improvising on the road, I test during the week and I have feelings. I have to make decisions. I have a great team, especially in the human field. There are players who were starters before and today they accepted my decision. With three competitions yet, the group has to rotate because all the players must be confident”, stated the River Plate coach.
After this, he took the time to praise Lucas Beltrán, striker who started against Godoy Cruz: “He scored two goals and I’m happy for someone who worked from the first day without getting off against Miguel Borja and Salomón Rondón”, added.
