The BetPlay 2023-I League began for most teams, but others such as Millonarios, Medellín, Deportivo Cali, Deportivo Pereira, among others, did not see performance on the first day. Already on the second date, the ambassadors will have to leave Bogotá to visit nothing more and nothing less than the Pereirans who have just been champions in the second half of 2022.
Millionaires, with the losses of Álvaro Montero, Andrés Llinás, Daniel Ruiz and Daniel Cataño as sensitive to face the first challenge against the champions, adds a new loss at the front. Without a Ruiz, Alberto Gamero will not have Luis Carlos Ruiz available either, but fortunately, it is not due to an injury or muscular problems that could keep him from more dates.
The big question then is, what happened to Luis Carlos Ruiz? The Millonarios striker who was in the preseason with the ambassador team and had more rest to make himself available to Alberto Gamero will not be able to play against Deportivo Pereira. Before the matecañas, there will be Leonardo Castro who could not be in the preseason against Hertha Berlin or against River Plate in what was a draw and a loss, he was in Bogotá.
There will be young blood in the Millonarios call up front with Yuber Quiñones, Édgar Guerra, Jader Valencia and Luis Paredes, 21 years old. And the experience of Leonardo Castro leading the first game as the ideal striker. But then, Luis Carlos Ruiz, why does he not appear on the squad list?
Millonarios will not have Luis Carlos Ruiz available on the attack front. Ruiz will not be able to be, according to information from the journalist Alexis Rodríguez, Luis Carlos did not travel due to physical problems, fortunately they rule out that it is something muscular or something serious, it does not go beyond a general malaise and they decided not to risk it. Thus, Alberto Gamero also rewarded the level of Nicolás Arévalo, a midfielder who entered his first call.
