The Colombian National Team advances with its preparation to face the United States and Bolivia, in friendly matches prior to the Copa América.

The National Team already has almost all of the 28 called up. This Sunday players like Miguel Ángel Borja arrived, who arrives as River Plate’s star goal scorer. Ríchard Ríos and Jhon Arias also arrived from Brazil.
“Everyone is well aware that the final list for the Copa América has not yet been defined, precisely that same day that we played against Bolivia we must give the list of 26 and in case of any eventuality we are going to wait until the last minute,” said the strategist.
Praise from the United States
And a few days before the game, some representatives of the American team praised the Colombian game.
Yunus Musa, a Milan player who plays as a midfielder, said: “Colombia is a very difficult opponent. It is seen that every game they play they put a lot of intensity. They are very physical, especially their defense, and I think they have a lot of talent in attack because of players like Luis Diaz. “That game is going to help us a lot in our preparation.”
“It’s facing a very good opponent and it’s going to bring out the best in us,” said the player. “It’s something really important for us because you become a better player against the best. Before the Copa América it is fantastic and it will be a great experience to face top players,” he added.
He wasn’t the only one. Cameron Carter-Vickers, Celtic defender, said: “They are a very good team, they have very good players and there are big clubs around the world. We will try to have a good presentation and be clear about how we want to play the tournament (Copa América). “We want to get the most out of these two games.”
