Tulio Gómez condemned murder of young football promise who lost his life due to cell phone theft

The death of 15-year-old Miller Stiven Falla, who was shot in the abdomen in the middle of a robbery to steal his cell phone, provoked a strong reaction from America de Cali's top shareholder, Tulio Gomez.

The leader repudiated the violence that claimed the life of Falla, who was attached to the minors of the red team. Gómez did not keep his emotions to condemn the events that mourned a family in Bogotá:

The deceased young man was killed on Saturday night, April 2, in the town of Kennedy, in Bogotá, by criminals who stole his cell phone. The events were recorded by a security camera which captured the subjects when they fled down the street from the town.

Characterized by his discipline and elegant touch on the playing field, his father still doesn't understand why this young promise lost his life:

John Falla, father of the minor, described the death of his son in a story collected by Noticias Caracol: “A Venezuelan put a revolver in their chest to the girls. She asked for her cell phone and the girl told her she didn't have a cell phone. They asked my son for the cell phone, my son had a normal time, took out his cell phone, lifted his shirt and passed it to him. The moment he passed the cell phone to him, the Venezuelan shot him in the abdomen. My son fell to the ground, stared at the companion and said 'calm down, nothing happens' and that's it, he closed his eyes, they took him to the Western Clinic and arrived without vital signs.”

Miller Stiven Falla had been coaching football for 10 years, because of his touch and discipline he was considered a promise of the sport, which is why his parents had their hopes for him.

Tulio Gómez: criticism of Juan Carlos Osorio after splitting blankets

The club's top shareholder spoke at ESPN F90 on the decision, where he did not spare his differences with Osorio, and referred to the future of America de Cali.

“We didn't think that with Osorio we would do so badly in the results. Osorio's coaching staff was the most expensive in Colombian football. Things didn't happen. When we hired Osorio, we gave him carte blanche, he chose the reinforcements and unfortunately they didn't give us the size. Maybe we don't analyze well that this rotation that Osorio likes doesn't serve us that much. Nor did we realize, that it was our fault, that Osorio plays on attack, I think that a team should be balanced. Our defense is not bad, the defensive scheme is bad.”

In this dialogue with the television media, Tulio emphasized a review he had made a few days ago in which he pointed out that the payroll for 2022 was not only one of the most expensive, but also one of the most talented in Colombian football:

“Our roster is not the best in the tournament, but it is not among the worst either. We couldn't have everything because sometimes they get injured, we usually have 6-8 players in the medical department. There are teams that don't have a better payroll than us and are above us. America must always be in the finals, it is not obligatory to be champion every year but to be in the fight.”
