Falcao García admitted he had problems at Millonarios: he suffered anxiety attacks and spent a sleepless night.

Radamel Falcao García has yet to decide his future as a soccer player after a bittersweet stint with Millonarios, his beloved club. The "Tiger" hasn't played since June, when the Blues were eliminated from the first half final on the final day of the quadrangulars.
However, Falcao, while not hiding his pride at having worn the Millos jersey, acknowledged that his time in Bogotá was very complicated and that he suffered from anxiety.
"When I arrived in Bogotá, people were very on top of me, I felt overwhelmed, I felt suffocated, and I even had bouts of anxiety. You can't breathe, you feel like you're not breathing, and I would end up spending the entire night without sleeping. It killed me not knowing what was happening to me, and I would get even more anxious," El Tigre admitted in a chat with Mario Suárez, his former teammate at Atlético de Madrid, who now does interviews on his YouTube channel.
Anxiety affected Falcao: he even spent the night awake. Falcao even spent sleepless nights and told the coach who was there when he arrived at Millonarios, Alberto Gamero, to allow him to rest a little more for that reason.

“I would wake up and tell Lore (Lorelei Tarón, his wife) 'I feel like I'm drowning,' and I would have to go out into the hallway because I felt suffocated. There was one day I told the coach, 'I didn't sleep at all, I spent the night awake; let me rest.' People don't see that,” he said.
Regarding the treatment of opposing fans, Falcao acknowledged that most of them greeted him with great respect, but what he did complain about was the pitches.
"The fields aren't like those in Europe; you suffer. There are some fields that feel like you're training on the sand in Miami. The game ends up feeling slow, but the field doesn't give you speed; it eats up your legs," he said.

She also talked about how difficult it was to live with her family in the capital. “Bogotá is a complex city. It's wonderful, it has a lot of wealth. Getting around is very difficult. For us, as a family, it ends up being complicated,” she explained.
"I can't go to a mall or everyone there. If you go to a restaurant, you have to go through a different door, or go to the movies through a different door. Sharing time with family outdoors was difficult, and people don't understand," he added.
It's worth remembering that, during his time with Millos, Falcao posted a video on social media on Halloween in which he walked through a shopping mall in costume without anyone recognizing him.

Despite the difficulties, Falcao still has a huge affection for Millonarios and, at the end of his conversation with Suárez, he gave him, autographed, the shirt he wore when he scored the goal against Boyacá Chicó, making him, at that time, the all-time Colombian top scorer, a record later surpassed by Dayro Moreno.
