Colombia ended up losing and the players had a discontent that spread throughout the game after Terceros’ goal, which, beating the Colombian defense, put the ball in the corner where the goalkeeper could not reach.
In several videos, Richard Ríos’ annoyance at the unfortunate result was recorded, which closed Colombia’s ten games as undefeated and ended an undefeated streak against Bolivia, which had come from the 2006 World Cup qualifiers in Germany.
Ríos’ annoyance and visible frustration extended to the mixed zone after the game, when a journalist interviewed him about the National Team’s performance in the conditions of the El Alto stadium.
“It was good, the truth is I felt better than I expected,” he responded about the impact of height on his performance. When the woman asked him about the numerical superiority, Richard gave her a balance in which he left the Colombian National Team in a good position.
“You could have had a good game”mentioned the reporter on the field. Given this, the footballer responded with visible discomfort: “Actually we had a good game, we just didn’t score the goal, that was the complicated part.”
In addition, he pointed out the lack of opportunities that Bolivia generated in the second half: “We managed the second half and Bolivia only came to us once.”
When he was about to leave, the woman asked him about the next game and, in a sharper tone, the player responded: “We’re going to think about the second game, we’re going to work on that.”
The Colombian National Team will now prepare to receive Chile at the Metropolitan Stadium in Barranquilla where they will seek to get the three points that will keep them in the highest positions in the South American qualifiers.
