Juan Carlos Ramírez, who accompanied Cárdenas in the Sub 20 coaching staff, will now have the responsibility of seeking the World Cup box.
“We learned a lot, the formats are identical in terms of the group stage and the World Cup qualification. These players who are barely turning 17 at the moment, the idea is that they mature and that they can have a very good tournament,” he declared. Ramirez.
The DT said that it is sought that all the Colombian teams begin to apply the same way of playing.
“The idea and the game model have been discussed since my arrival at the beginning of last year and with the continuity of Professor Cárdenas, we have also had meetings with Néstor Lorenzo and his coaching staff,” said Ramírez.
“The idea is to have a modern, aggressive and attacking football, we have tried to have that guideline from the senior team, the Under-20 and the Under-17. The Under-15 team is a bit far from it because it is a category that is in formation and it is about giving them another class of information,” he added.
