by Millionaires will live one of the most important nights of the season this March 15. In Belo Horizonte, Brazil, he will seek the feat of advancing to the group stage of the Copa Libertadores, leaving Atlético Mineiro on the road, a team with a payroll five times more expensive than his own and with World Cup players like Hulk in the lead. .
Those led by Alberto Gamero, who have been questioned for their lack of hierarchy at decisive moments, will seek to demonstrate that they not only play well, as they have been recognized, but that they can achieve results that are impossible for some.
But the feat that Millionaires can achieve does not only go through sports. To advance to the next phase of the most important competition at the club level, You can receive a million-dollar sum that can help the club adjust cash.
iA Belo Horizonte the team from the Colombian capital will arrive after a bittersweet draw at El Campín a week ago. That day Mackalister Silva opened the scoring with a header after a corner kick from Daniel Cataño, but a lack of attention in defense led to equality in Paulinho’s boots. Although the team played one-on-one with Atlético Mineiro, a fact that is exciting for tonight’s commitment, they did not take advantage of at least one goal.
The bad news for Millonarios is the absence of Andrés Llinás, stronghold in the defensive back, due to a sprained knee. On paper, the person who would replace him in that position is Óscar Vanegas, unless Gamero contemplates the possibility of changing the tactical module: perhaps to strengthen the recovery in the modular zone he will take advantage of three containment midfielders: Daniel Giraldo, Juan Carlos Pereira and Larry Vasquez.
good news for him Ambassador It is that despite the three rivals of caliber that it has faced in the last commitments (Deportivo Cali, Atlético Mineiro and Atlético Nacional), it has not fallen before any. The match, which will air on ESPN, will take place at 7:30 p.m.

Coudet praises Millionaires in the preview of the match
Eduardo Coudet, technical director of Atlético Mineiro, referred to the commitment on March 15 against Millonarios, a determining factor in the aspirations of qualifying for the group stage of the Copa Libertadores.
Regarding the tie with a goal at the Nemesio Camacho El Campín Stadium, in which the team from the Colombian capital played hand in hand, beyond having a lower payroll, the Argentine coach affirmed that the fact of playing at altitude had an influence and that, although they downplayed the matter, perhaps their players will receive a bill of collection in the return commitment in Brazil.
“Altitude is an important issue, which we did not give it the importance it really means, we played at 2,700 meters high and we put a lot of physical effort on it”affirmed the strategist of the Brazilian club.
Coudet, remembered for his career as a footballer wearing the River Plate shirt, stated that he played at a high level and, once again, emphasized what last Wednesday’s match could have represented for his team on a physical level. In addition, he praised his rival, although he hopes to beat him in Belo Horizonte.
“Going down is not the same as going up, that is a great truth in the physical part, I say it because I played at altitude, it is not the same for them to go to the plain as to go to 2,700 meters high. We are going to face a great team, hopefully we can give our people a win”he added.
