The optimism of coach Carlos Paniagua
“That third goal was very important for us, because it allows us to have a rival who is going to go out looking for more of the game: Uruguay falls back, looks for the opponent’s mistake to go on the counterattack”, explained the Colombian coach, Carlos Paniagua .

“We are working and very focused on what is to come, We know that the match is not going to be easy, we have been analyzing the group and we are also working and training for this duel”, said player Kaily Siso.
Although the tie works, the mind is on winning
The team knows that with the tie they achieve their objective, but they assure that they will look for victory, so as not to take risks against a complicated rival that against Brazil barely lost 1-0.
