Nestor Lorenzo activated his radar in England. A large base was brought from there, led by louis diaz and 5 other players, to begin the urgent reconstruction of the Colombia selectionwhich will play a friendly against Guatemala on Saturday.
The English legion is the support chosen by the new DT to show that on the court this is, or could be, or will try to be, another Selection, the one that leaves behind the recent hardships, the one that plays, perhaps, with a touch of The English.

England is the football of speed, of brutal change of pace, of ruthless attacks.
The power of the Premier League
The Premier is the most powerful league at the moment, the one that captures the most attention, with a value of 9,860 million euros. And his second division boasts of being worth 1.17 million (according to Transfermarkt).
And if that is the most luxurious, beautiful and imposing football, then why not make use of every Colombian who lands there. Lorenzo cited six: 4 first class, 2 second class. And if Yerry Mina wasn’t injured, he would surely be on his way too.
Among them Luis Díaz stands out, and it is not for less. He is the most outstanding and important Colombian player of the moment. The one who is at the highest level, for being where he is, in Liverpool, and for its performance. Díaz has an enormous responsibility.
The team, the press, the fans expect a lot from him in the National Team. If the world will miss him Taste, Colombia asks you not to miss the other World Cup: it is the responsibility of the brightest, of the most current.
Gambeta and goals
So Lorenzo’s task is to form a structure that favors him, that doesn’t cloud him, that doesn’t refound him. And for that he takes more English troops. What Luis Sinisterra, another attacker who has different responsibilities: he represents the renewal of the goal.
Sinisterra had been clamoring for his opportunity in the National Team. And there it is. He made noise in the Feyenoord, from the Netherlands, and that is why he made the leap to England. He arrived at leeds, where he already surprises with his goals: he has scored 2 in the League and one in the League Cup. If the goals were recast in the recent past and left us out of the World Cup, here is Sinisterra.
And behind him, others line up, like Óscar Estupiñán, who arrived at Hull City of the Championship (second division), where it already stands out. Inspired by Hugo Rodallega, he has 7 goals in 10 games, being the tournament’s top scorer.
“It is a dream come true to be in England now,” Estupiñán told The Sun. And of course… Behind Estupiñán comes another, Yaser Asprilla, the 18-year-old who left Envigado to wreak havoc at Watford. Yaser hasn’t scored for his new club, but he already has 8 games on his roster. He already had a debut in the National Team, and that time, in a friendly, it was an explosive appearance. He is young, he is finishing his training, but he is already in England. He will do it there.
And that hopeful attack that reaches the National Team with an English sound is joined by two experienced players from behind: Dávinson Sánchez, from Tottenham, and Jefferson Lerma, from Bournemouth. Two players who, although they do not represent renewal, are solid pillars, and Lorenzo showed that he wants a lot of that to start the reconstruction.
