Sensations of the match against Venezuela

It was a close and very tight match. We knew that when they changed the system, it was going to be a difficult game, but we tried with our weapons to find those scoring options.

Starting the second half, we found that first clear opportunity and he gave us those first three points to start this tie off well.

Goal that gives victory to the Colombian National Team

Many times you have to coordinate with my colleagues and have associations with them, knowing that there is a closed system ahead. The good thing was that it was won and the team also, little by little, is gaining that confidence for this type of game.

Luis Díaz and Jhon Arias, the attack partners

The partnerships with Arias and Luis Díaz have been working well. Those ways of breaking the rival when it is so closed and being able to finish plays. Today it was an important weapon to keep the game and we must continue to insist on that.
