The Colombian soccer coach, the Argentine Néstor Lorenzo, assured this Thursday that one of his objectives is to put together a compact team that “goes for everything everywhere”, while announcing the renewal of some lines, although the journalist Iván Mejía Álvarez did not think so.
The approaches were made by Lorenzo at a press conference in Bogotá in which he announced his first call as coach to face Guatemala and Mexico in the United States, a list in which he combined experience and youth.

“A competitive group, protagonist, that goes for everything everywhere. It is our vision. It takes work, time, that is the line for the players: that they go for everything”, remarked the strategist.
Lorenzo will be on the Colombian coaching bench for the first time on the 24th of this month when he faces Guatemala in New Jersey, at the Red Bull Arena. Three days later he will do so against Mexico -qualified for the Qatar World Cup- in Santa Clara, at Levi’s Stadium.
strong message
Referring to the scheme he seeks to consolidate, he explained that the module he has is a 4-3-3 with “variants in the defensive and attacking stops. That’s where the basic idea comes from.
Mejía, on his twitter account, referred to the fact that he found Liorenzo’s call for friendly games “terrible”.
“From breakfast you know what lunch will be like. I found the selection terrible. It looks like a payroll from Rueda,” he wrote.
