People followed Ortega's progress all throughout his time in Germany. The Colombian media reported on his progress (or lack thereof) regularly. There are several reports from posters tracking each of Leverkusen's matches while he was there. Junior fans were ecstatic to sign him; everybody else was frustrated he couldn't make it. But still, there was hope he'd turn it around. Even Pekerman mentioned how such a talented kid was wasting his potential. I'd rather not recall Pino's flare out... I said nobody is disappointed that Zapata is returning, but I should edit that. Hardly anybody cares that he's coming back. And that's because hardly anybody knows who he is. The kid had a decent Calusura in 2013. He was never, ever close to being one of the best players in FPC. I know you're not comparing the player's abilities. You started off by saying that he's likely to fade away just like Pino and Ortega, which, sadly, I agree with. I disagree with your prognosis that the kid was some great player in Colombia before he left or ever reached the status of Ortega or Pino as a prospect. He was just another talented sub 20 that Envigado produces on a yearly basis. Udinese buys tons of kids, most of whom aren't considered first tier prospects. Rememember Ricardo Chara? Yeah, me neither. Zapata basically was what Michael Lopez is now. Until a a foreign club snaps him up, he'll only be on the radar of youth experts like Baal.
Pino had 2 godlike games against 19 years olds. Then a super amazing goal against Argentinas U20..... people 10 years LATER YES IT WAS 10 years.... and still talking about him. He sucks.
se habla como un fracaso o promeza que nunca fue. sin duda fue de lo mejor de ese sudamericano, donde no solo metio gol contra argentina. el mismo mourinho lo elogio en un amistoso que dirigio del inter.... No entiendo la logica de atacar lo que hablan los demas. como si alguien dijera que pino es un gran jugador. puro trolleo
Lo unico que tengo que decir es que zapata Es mas joven que miguel angel borja , que tambien tuvo un paso de 2 años en el futbol extranjero bastante malo...le volvio bien la vuelta a colombia no he visto mucho a zapata, recuerdo que no tenia destellos de talento.
Wasn't Riascos on of the top strikers in Brazil? Pretty good reinforments but isn't this team almost bankrupt?
In Mexico. He helped Tijuana to win the title. Then he moved to Brazil but was average and had discipline problems.
cual es la fuente??? que tipo para desinformar y hablar tanta paja.....un accionista salio diciendo que faltaba una ifnormación fiannciera. que el equipo haya tenido perdidas eb un año no quiere decir que es bancarrota. Yo no se porque lo dejan estar en el foro
http://colombia.as.com/colombia/2017/02/01/futbol/1485950188_375130.html?omnaut=1 Buen partido de Millonarios a pesar de la derrota. Un juego intenso, de mucha ida y vuelta. El club azul jugó bien pero no pudo marcar la diferencia. Un penalti provocado por Pedro Franco, le dio la ventaja al brasileño. El partido de vuelta será el próximo 8 de febrero en Bogotá. Los dirigidos por Miguel Ángel Russo fueron buenos en la marca y en la ofensiva siempre lo intentaron. Los brasileños pocas opciones tuvieron en el arco de Vikonis.
We did surprisingly better than I thought. Specially the last 20 minutes. We have a realistic chance to turn this around in Bogotá. Macalister Silva had a good game, good passes and hit the post once.
What I've heard is that they will not be carrying many/any games. I have a concoction to get RCN/Caracol/Winsports but have not tried it for games. Will see if it works.
really disappointed by what's happened by having no representation in the US. Even trying to get a youtube feed gets kicked out fairly easy. If I was a betting man, this has to do with no Mexican teams participating in the CL.
Wait, Fox Deportes/Sports in the US is not going to carry the Libertadores? Has this been announced somewhere, has it been confirmed? Fox Sports has been showing the CL for what, 15 years? Longer?
I hate that these channels show repeats of games sometimes when a good game is on.... Will beinsports pick it up?
I didn't get to watch the entire match, too many interruptions. But from what I saw in the last half hour, and from what the announcers were saying, then yes. I think that things can be turned around in Bogota. Another factor in our favor is that Brazilian teams tend to be affected the altitude.
and Anier Figueroa gets sent off so its 10 men for the last 20 minutes, fingers crossed we can hold on.
