Asprilla Advocates for International Recruitment to Solve Millonarios‘ Challenges
Former Colombian international faustino Asprilla has proposed a solution for Millonarios’ current struggles: focusing on acquiring players from outside of Colombia. The suggestion comes after the team’s elimination from the Colombia Cup, intensifying scrutiny of potential reinforcements.
Asprilla’s comments underscore the pressure on the club to strengthen its roster effectively. Millonarios coach Hernán Torres acknowledged the high stakes surrounding any new signings, stating, “For anyone it is a secret that we cannot be wrong in the hiring. We cannot fail that… If you are going to hire you cannot fail in what is going to be brought to reinforce the team Because the team is going to be reinforced. I don’t have the slightest doubt.” Torres made these remarks following the Colombia Cup defeat.
The call for international recruitment reflects a growing sentiment that domestic talent alone may not be sufficient to elevate Millonarios’ performance and achieve its objectives. Fans have already voiced frustrations, with some reportedly criticizing current players - a recent online discussion highlighted comments like, “He has a freezer,” directed at a player after the elimination.
