The Colombia National Team continues to meet in Cochabamba to finalize details of his preparation for the match against Bolivia in the qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup. The national team enters unknown territory and knows that the challenge will be up to their level.
According to the criteria of
The cast directed by DT Nestor Lorenzo is measured against Bolivia in The Higha city that is 4,150 meters above sea level and where the Venezuelan team fell resoundingly on its last visit, it was 4-0.
The DT tests his methods
Lorenzo he concentrated on Cochabamba Thinking about the acclimatization of their players, at that altitude anyone can suffer from lack of oxygen. The coach is testing his method to defend his undefeated record in this tie in which he has not fallen in the previous eight rounds.
Colombia They are second in the qualifying standings with 16 points, after four victories, two of them against Brazil and Argentina, and four draws.
“There is no magic recipe. One looks for variants that help appease the effects of altitude. We are doing everything possible for that from the physical, with the medical and physical area. From a tactical point of view we must play an intelligent game,” stated the coach on the issue of height in Blu Radio.
Forced changes
For the duel against the Bolivians, the coach would try to touch the starting lineup as little as possible, despite the various losses in the defense. With the absence of Daniel Muñoz, Santiago Arias would have many options to start on the right side.
The return of Dávinson Sánchez, who missed the last call due to an injury, favors Lorenzo’s setup with the absence of Yerson Mosquera in the center back. The Wolves defender was seriously injured and is not available.
The flyer and creative area would not change at all. James Rodriguez He would pull the strings of the team in Bolivia, Luis Díaz and Jhon Arias would provide imbalance and, behind, Richard Ríos and Jéfferson Lerma would provide balance.
As a center forward I would be John Cordoba after the decline of Jhon Jáder Duránwho must pay a penalty date for accumulation of cards, after the yellow card he saw against Argentina, in Barranquilla.
Possible training
Camilo Vargas; Santiago Arias, Dávinson Sánchez, Jhon Lucumí, Johan Mojica; Jefferson Lerma, Richard Ríos, Jhon Arias, James Rodríguez, Luis Díaz; Jhon Córdoba.
