The Colombian National Team He doesn't get up, he doesn't wake up, he doesn't make changes and they don't work either. The team, already eliminated from the tournament, cannot even defend its pride. Now they lost against Venezuela, 1-0, in their third game in group A.
Nothing has happened to this Under-23 National Team that he directs Hector Cardenas. Soccer did not come with the team to the tournament. Lost against Ecuador ugly, 3-0. They lost against Brazil 2-0 and were eliminated, and now it was their turn to lose to the home team.
This time there was no genius, no amount of individuality that made a difference. Colombia relapsed into its erratic game, without clarity to attack, without security to defend, without partnerships.
Venezuela maintained control of the match. He looked for the goal he needed by all means, as he stays alive in the tournament, and He achieved it in the 34th minute through Bolívar.
It was a corner kick. The fearsome aerial ball. Colombia went to her with fear. Bolívar appeared unmarked and nailed a header that the goalkeeper couldn't control, and it was 1-0.
The goal did not generate any reaction. This team, which no longer has players like Óscar Cortés or Andrés Gómez, could not recover. To the point that it was Venezuela that ended up on top, looking for another goal.
Colombia failed in form, attacking through the most congested routes, without a player to give them clarity. A possible penalty against Carlos Cortés not sanctioned at the end of the first half was his best elaboration. At the end of the second half, Colombia asked for another penalty in a similar play due to a blow by the Venezuelan goalkeeper to Ceballos.
A new defeat, a new pain, more shortcomings detected by a team that cannot raise its head in the Pre-Olympic. Their last game will be next Thursday against Bolivia.
