Jackson Martínez, the striker whose career was cut short by injuries, reappeared to talk about what has occupied him for most of his life: football.
His analysis of the current situation of the Colombian National Team, the signing of James Rodríguez in Qatar and the great moment of Luis Díaz in Liverpoolamong other things, surfaced in a conversation with the Spanish radio station ‘Carrusel’.
Many statements about a past that is still present.
Jackson’s wordsJosé Néstor Pékerman and the Colombian National Team
“I think everyone is going to be missed as long as someone doesn’t come along who overcomes what they did. The best in the world can arrive anywhere, but if it doesn’t exceed expectations, the one who left will always be remembered,” was the first thing Martínez said about José Néstor Pékerman to the journalist Ignacio Marcano.
“He did a very good job, he had one of the best generations of the Colombian National Team. Now the results are not being given, the goals from before are not being scored, the fan is impatient and that is understandable, but now we have to support, nothing can be done with the games that have passed. You have to give encouragement and believe until the last, “added the former Chocó soccer player.
Did James Rodríguez do well going to Qatar?
Consulted by the moment of the Colombian ’10’, with whom he shared in the national team, Martínez was direct: “When James made the decision to go there, I thought: ‘he wants to be in the National Team’. Surely he did not have the possibility of going elsewhere. He wasn’t playing, he wasn’t going to the National Team, he wasn’t taken into account by the coach, so he goes to the place and the climate where the World Cup is going to be.”
“He returned to the National Team, with a good rhythm of competition and contributing because when he is on the pitch he makes a difference,” he added.
How do you see Luis Diaz?
Jackson Martínez, internationally seasoned, decided to talk about the moment of Luis Díaz, who was in Porto, where he also shone.
“He is a very simple player. When ‘Lucho’ arrived in Porto there were doubts because he came directly from Colombia, but he had the opportunity to start playing immediately. He improved a lot in the tactical part and will continue to do so in Liverpool. He tries too hard, he has fantasy, goal and pass. Worldwide, he is one of the most enjoyable to watch play. He is going to go a long way with the confidence that Klopp is giving him.”
