Everything seems to indicate that the third cycle of Reinaldo Wheel The Colombian team will end in a bad way, since despite an outstanding Copa América 2021, the performance of the coffee team in the South American Qualifiers has left a very bad impression and they are very close to being eliminated from the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
This is the second round of qualifying rounds in which Rueda has led Colombia and if they are finally eliminated, both will have been failures as the team’s helmsman, after which was also the elimination to Germany 2006, remaining only one point from the playoffs.
Since he took office again on January 14, 2021, Rueda’s Colombia has played 19 official games with a balance of only 4 wins10 draws and 5 losses, for a mediocre return of 38%.
The current streak of seven games without scoring is the worst in the history of the Colombian national team, going from fighting for third position to being practically out of the World Cup in seventh place.
Beyond the numbers, it is clear that there is no clear game idea and the other teams have found an easy strategy to counteract, where Rueda’s work has proven to be insufficient, always playing the same scheme and only exchanging names in the same roles over time.
Unlike what was seen for two cycles in José Néstor Pekerman, Colombian soccer seems to have taken a step backwards and is not taking advantage of the great moment of several of its players, insisting on figures that due to the deterioration of their level they should not have space in the team.
Wheel must come out and the leadership of the Colombian Football Federation must begin to evaluate options thinking about what the qualifiers will be for 2026, for which not only must there be radical changes, but in the process a new air could be necessary and not fall on technicians with previous experience in charge of the tricolor.
