Millonarios have chosen Cataño's replacement in midfield
Millonarios has already started the preseason for the upcoming semester, while the club and the coaching staff keep an eye on the transfer market to strengthen the team. Some important departures have already been confirmed in the ambassador team, such as Radamel Falcao García, Jader Valencia, and Daniel Cataño, so covering these absences is a priority. Advertisement Daniel Cataño has already been presented at Bolívar de La Paz and his departure leaves a significant gap in Millonarios' midfield, but the club is already aiming for his replacement. Millonarios, looking to bring back Juan José Ramírez Juan José Ramírez, who joined Millonarios for the second semester of 2024 after a good campaign at Orsomarso in the Second Division, made 14 appearances in the blue jersey during that season, and then went on loan to Real Cartagena, where he could gain more experience. Now, although the loan is still valid until the end of the year, Millonarios wants to bring the player back to be Cataño's replacement as the team's offensive midfielder. Advertisement Journalist Alexis Rodríguez from Win Sports clarified that the young 23-year-old midfielder will stay at Millonarios, although several reports linked him to Once Caldas, Deportivo Cali, and other clubs. Coach David González is giving a vote of confidence to Ramírez, who returns to Millonarios after a very good spell at Real Cartagena, where he was a key player and made 20 appearances in the semester, mostly as a starter.

Dortmund coach Niko Kovač says MetLife Stadium field more suited to golf than to soccer
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — In the eyes of Borussia Dortmund coach Niko Kovač, the MetLife Stadium field was better suited for a round of golf than a match at the Club World Cup. And the New York area's summer heat also was inappropriate for high-level soccer. 'It's more a golf green, so you can putt here," Kovač said after Saturday's 3-2 quarterfinal loss to Real Madrid. 'It's very short. But this is not the grass we are used to playing on in the Bundesliga and also in the other two stadiums.' Dortmund played its opening group match at MetLife, the site of the Club World Cup semifinals and championship, and of next year's World Cup final. The German team played two matches at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium and its round of 16 game at Atlanta's Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 'As you saw, the watering wasn't good enough, I would say, because you don't have the devices for that." Kovač said. 'When it's too dry, it's unbelievable. It's sticking.' On a sunny afternoon, the temperature at the 3 p.m. kickoff was 86 degrees Fahrenheit (30 degrees Celsius) in East Rutherford. Similar temperatures or higher are expected for next year's World Cup, where 11 venues are in the U.S., and most do not have roofs or air-conditioning. During the 1994 World Cup, 28 of 52 matches had kickoff times from noon to 2 p.m. EDT, better for European viewing. Kickoff times for next year's 104-game tournament are likely to be set after the draw in December. 'We played two times in Cincinnati. The first time it was 12 o'clock. The second time it was 3 p.m. and the pitch we had temperatures of around about 45 degrees (113 degrees Fahrenheit)," Kovač said. 'When the temperature is 45 degrees, this is not amazing. This is very hard for someone, and the players, they must play these games. "Today, we had 35 degrees (95 degrees Fahrenheit). It's also not much better, to be honest. But, OK, this a tournament we need to play. And I would suggest — my suggestion, that the kickoff time will be a little later. ... So the intensity is also much higher. And as a supporter, as a spectator, you would like to see intensive, aggressive, up-and-down football. So when it's too hot, then it's difficult to play this kind of football.' ___
