Nestor Lorenzo raises the demand for Colombia selection, that this Tuesday will face Mexico in the second game of the Argentine at the head of the team.
After the elimination of the 2022 Qatar World Cup, Lorenzo begins to assemble the team to seek a place in the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Already in his first presentation he played it, from the outset, for the veterans. But Lorenzo announced “a few changes.”
Will there be rotation? “It is the first meeting with the players and there are not many chances to see them up close. In training one realizes some things, there are players who always have to be given minutes. The idea is to rotate a lot and see the largest number of players, I know some of them and there are companies that have to be tested. We are going to use this date to make the most of that, always with the idea that the team is above everything.”
Lorenzo’s game idea against Mexico
The approach. “When you are in the process of assembling your team, you have to prioritize your idea a bit. Although there are the virtues and defects of the rival, which we must try to neutralize or take advantage of, in that mix of ideas we are going to try to give minutes and not neglect any of the functions that we have to do to win the game”.
The formation. “There are going to be changes. There are going to be a few changes.”
The rival, Mexico. “He is fast, he has very good technique, versatility with players who play on the wing, they are quick to break. Mexican soccer plays a good game, associated and in attack, it is a good team in general”.
Level comparison between Conmebol and Concacaf. “The Conmebol tie is very tough. It has nothing to do with a hand in hand with Mexico. Arbitration is different, thinks differently, whistles differently. The South American competition is very tough, but I think that Mexico has the conditions to participate, there were times when they entered the Copa Libertadores and they did well”.
Are you going to speculate against Mexico? “I would like to be in the situation of Mexico, to be in the World Cup, they earned it with category. Speculate, no: if the interpretation is that because something did not go well. The idea is to be the protagonist. From the first moment we said it and we are going to support it, hopefully things turn out the way we planned them”.
