That is a topic that does not concern us. I have never heard of veto issues in the Federation. It is a topic that we have talked about many times and it really does not concern us. There is a coaching staff and a leadership that are the ones that the players must choose in the end and our role is just to play,” the player told the Sports Without Covers program.
The topic did not stop there. On social networks there were many reactions against Usme for his statements. Furthermore, the former soccer player ISabella Echeverryanother who experienced the same situation as Yoreli, left some mocking emoticons in the publication of Usme’s statements.

She was one of the main ones,” he said.
Given this situation, the director of the program, Diego Rueda, asked him directly if Catalina Usme vetoes Yoreli. “As they say, I don’t have proof, but I don’t have many doubts either… It’s that I never had the answer. From the Federation the answer is that everything is very good in football,” he added.
The controversy continues. Meanwhile, Colombia will play two friendly matches in Venezuela, with the absence, again, of Yoreli.
