The era of Nestor Lorenzo as a field technician for the Colombian National Team. He will do it with four goalkeepers from the local League to make one of those famous and still unproductive ‘microcycles’, the first act in his government’s overalls and sweatshirt before the friendlies against Guatemala and Mexico at the end of the month, with which he will debut really, really.
Without going into the old and well-known discussion of ‘tooooooda’ life about whether they are useful or not, whether they are calling players out of contentment, whether these practices are working or appearing to be acting, the issue, in the long run, is that Lorenzo, like ‘all’ the team sports coaches and selectors, will have to find a team, his team.
tropical nationalism
We do not punish: how it has cost us in the past that tropical nationalism that here what there is is cracks and by trucks; more and better than the ones in Brazil, Argentina or Uruguay. That story makes the itch of ‘renewal’ appear, another word of ‘toooooda’ life.

We are already out of Qatar World Cup, which begins in two months and three weeks, drowned in the parochial chauvinism of having Zapatas, Borjas, Murieles, Morelos, Suárez, Charás, Cantillos, Santos Borrés, Alzates and Díaz, Arangos, Preciados, Sinisterras, among many others. Now, in that same itching, the names of the Hernández, Estupiñanes, Sinisterras, Arias, Agudelos, Ruizes, Valoyes and many others with whom the giant fallacy is built that “you have to have two and three first-level Colombian National Teams” sprout. as some claim. Not to mention at least three dozen from the much-criticized Our League, who are feverishly candidates every other day because supposedly “they are National Team players.” We are very enlarged.
The Radar of the National Team
Barely a few years ago, a critical sector opposed to Joseph Pekerman that there was supposedly a list of “eighty” players all ready for the national team. Then it was DT himself Carlos Queiroz who, without any shame, said that his universe was in the “1,074 Colombian players abroad.”
Be careful, last year the International Center for Sports Studies and its Soccer Observatory said that there are 425 Colombian soccer players in 60 countries in Europe, Asia, South America, North America and Africa.
It already happened to us that when the Valderramas, Asprillas and Rincones hung up the national uniform, Colombia was eliminated from three World Cups in a row, and the same ones who today speak of “the great raw material for renewal”, because they asked for it because the Víctor Bonilla were there, Juan Pablo Ángel, ‘Tigres’ Castillo, Iván Ramiro and Óscar Córdoba, Chicho Serna, Mario Yepes, Víctor Pacheco, Fabián Vargas, Giovanni Hernández, Tressor Moreno, Totono Grisales, Rodallega, Wason and many others… In white silver, Colombia He only has one superstar today: louis diazand stop.
In Brazil, which has 1,219 players in 81 leagues around the world, Tite found and has your team. The same in Argentina, where Scaloni found and has your team.
But the strong point that Lorenzo has, who opens his era as field coach of the National Team, is not printing the list of Colombian players abroad and in the local league, nor can he swallow the story that in this land there are more cracks than coffee beans.
The best thing about Lorenzo is that in the next tie, the 2026 World Cup, of the ten South American teams, six will qualify directly and the seventh will go to a playoff. He must find a team, his team, without eating that story that there are said to be tons of cracks with the size of the National Team.
