Millonarios tied with Once Caldas without goals on date 18 of Liga BetPlay 2025-II and buried their chances of qualifying for the home runs, a result that could be seen coming after a semester of many ups and downs.
After the failure in this second semester, coach Hernán Torres made known his perception of this complex result that makes them necessarily think about 2026, making it clear that he is still in office and will seek reinforcements for the base that is there.
In addition to this, he assumed full responsibility for the elimination, because although he had to row, he was unable to meet the challenge of improving the team’s performance.
Responsibility of the coaching staff: “I cannot apologize because I am responsible even if it has been two months. I knew that the situation was difficult and I cannot exclude myself from responsibility. We gave the team strength at the back, we have tried to play as a unit.”
Mandatory reinforcements for 2026: “Let’s hope that the reinforcements arrive to complete this base that exists. All the teams are reinforced and Millonarios has to be reinforced. I know that the teams are in that diligence.”
What Millionaires tried and what they missed: “We have tried to maintain possession, not to play directly at all times. We have tried to improve many things within our idea, without wanting to criticize anyone. We lacked forcefulness and definition.”
Attackers role: “I tried to have Hurtado accompany Leo and that with Giordana we had two forwards, then we needed Hurtado to accompany Mackalister Silva to control Quiñones in the middle. We even thought of making a 1-3-2.”
He valued the positive since he arrived: “the group has improved a lot, it is a willing group, I have no complaints about them. It is about insisting, working and not giving up.”
