Millionaires let the victory escape this Thursday in El Campín after drawing without goals (0-0) with Atlético Nacional On the second date of the semifinal home runs of the Betplay Dimayor League. The arbitration controversies and the state of the pitch gave what to talk about.
After the commitment between capital and Antioquia, Radamel Falcao García, captain of the capital eleven, spoke in a mixed zone about the El Campín court, the criteria of arbitration and what this result represents in the aspirations that the team led by David González has.
The Campín, a scenario that belongs to the District Institute of Recreation and Sports (IDRD), but which is administered by Sencia under a public concession contract, presented on Thursday night a lawn that was not in optimal conditions.
“In an elite league this does not happen and then we complain that the players have no level. Sometimes it is difficult to give good show with the level of the fields. And it is not that Colombia does not have level players, both national and millionaires have good players, but if it bites and gives you in the tap you cannot do anything,” said the tiger about the state of the pitch.
Transforming the stage of the stadium is a dream in progress. We know what this stadium means for Bogotá.
Therefore, when we talk about transforming it, it is not just a work: it is a commitment to its history, its people and football.But not for any grass: it will be a … pic.twitter.com/UxI3WHY1pE

Sencia has informed through its social networks that, in the medium term, it will perform the hybridization of the court. Mauricio Hoyos, CEO of the company that operates the sports scenario, explained that this system will be “combining natural grass with artificial grass to have a more level, high quality and firm field”.
Falcao's balance
Falcao started and played 74 minutes of the draw between his team and the Verdolaga team. He registered two auctions and starred in a play within the area in which he reached the ball to William Tesillo, who gave him a blow. Neither Luis Matorel nor the VAR considered that the action was missing.
“They are difficult plays. Pereira charges a penalty that he does not see the player and here practically the play is the same, but the argument is different. We are charged very easy and Manizales and in Manizales there were similar moves that were not sanctioned. The interpretation they give it is difficult to have unanimity of criteria. I do not understand that, it is not critical of today's referee, but unanimity would make us easier to understand decisions, ”said Millionaire's captain.
The Ambassador Table, which came from winning the classic capital, failed to capitalize on a venture against a Verdolaga team that was decimated by the casualties of David Ospina, Andrés Román and Marino Hnestroza, convened by the Colombian team for the double day of qualifiers.
“A closed match, where we had the clearest options, but we go with a draw. We continue at the tip of the group,” said Falcao as a balance. Millionaires will return to action next Sunday when you visit Once Caldas for the third date of the home runs (8:20 pm).
