The Colombia selection resigns himself to having to watch the World Cup in Qatar on TV, for failing to qualify, and a few hours before the opening, he will play a preparation match against Paraguay, in the United States, all so that the coach Nestor Lawrence keep structuring your team for the next tie.
Lorenzo’s Colombia continues to be a team based on experienced players, a backbone with men like David Ospina, Dávinson Sánchez, Wílmar Barrios, James Rodríguez and Falcao García.
With James and without Diaz
Precisely, James arrives at a good time, finally with continuity and at a high level at Olympiacos in Greece.
On this occasion, the great absence is that of Luis Díaz, who continues with his recovery period due to the injury he suffered in October. Another absentee is Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, who was not cited by DT. The one that is a satisfactory novelty is Juan Fernando Quintero, the man from River Plate who returns to the team with new expectations.
“Very motivated, we have great expectations because we have an important generation, unfortunately we will not be able to be in this World Cup, but motivated because we know what we can give, what we have done and that this will help us for whatever is next” Juanfer said.
New men seek to establish themselves or earn a position, like Jhon Arias, from Brazilian soccer, or like Jhon Durán and Jorge Carrascal, who were already in the last call.
Before the match against the Paraguayans, attacker Rafael Santos Borré commented: “We are facing a rival (Paraguay) that is in our confederation, and that makes it a good test for us and we are going to take it that way, with a lot of responsibility.”
Paraguay, which has just lost to Peru, 1-0 in a friendly on Wednesday, will have casualties today such as Miguel Almirón, suffering from muscle overload, and defender Fabián Balbuena, due to suspension.
