Friendly friends welcome to a new chapterof sports tribune. This time with the
debut of the Colombian team in theCopa América, Colombia won Paraguay at its
premiere in Houston, a very goodgame of the Colombian team that we will
(00:24):
analyze today in our sports forum ofthe spectator. I begin by greeting the
spectator' s sports editor, LuisGuillermo Ordoñez, as the Colombian team saw
in this its premiere in the AmericaCup so expected of the United States two
thousand twenty- four. Hello Fernando, then, a very cordial greeting for
(00:46):
you, for all the fans ofthe spectator, to those who read the
printed newspaper and also to those whofollow us through the website and on our
social networks man. It has alwaysbeen said that the first match of such
a competition is probably the most importantone, and I think Colombia met expectations,
beyond the fact that at some pointit relaxed, I think it won
(01:10):
Paraguay well, showed its superiority,continued showing that it is a reliable team,
that it is a solid team andI think it is a good start,
a start that is illusioning in theface of what is coming, that
it is first the match with CostaRica, in which we could assure the
classification already, after Brazil and,hopefully the other instances, because finally,
(01:36):
what we all hope is that thisselection will have a good presentation and get
far Andrés Osorio, coordinator of newsletters of the spectator, already almost a
regular of this sports platform in whichwe follow the track in the last weeks
to the final of the League ofLaw, to the Eurocopa and to all
these topics of the selection of Colombia, and we talked about what we said
(02:00):
to us that favorism with which camethe selection of Colombia. Andrés Osorio saw
a favorite team plummeted with that candidatestatus today debuting at the America Cup Hello,
Fernando Hello, Memo Hello, toall the people who connect. It
' s a pleasure for me tobe here in a sports forum. It
is always very, very, veryenjoyable to share with you and talk about
(02:23):
sports, which is what we lovethe most. I saw a game,
a game to a better team,very solid. I hoped that the result
would be more bulging, without thissounding pretentious and without saying that Paraguay could
not be a good rival. Butwe' ve been seeing Colombia far superior
to this selection for years. However, we ended up I think by pressing
(02:46):
a little bit more than we thoughtwe were going to squeeze by a little
and they call a penalty that Ihonestly believe was not a very similar play
of those in the middle of thecourt. I don' t think so,
however, because we did see avery disciplined team, the very solid
defensive line in the middle field,all very connected to make the transitions and
(03:09):
in the curious good attack, becausethe goals don' t come from the
forwards. That' s not bad. I' m not saying that'
s bad. On the contrary,I think Colombia has shown that it has
different ways to attack and score andwell, with one to me it seems
that they criticize Rafael Santos Borré alot, but it is a player who
(03:32):
does the dirty work many times,that it is the one that drags the
marks with its diagonals, that itis the one that opens the spaces so
that precisely a Luis Díaz arrives fromthe sides so that James can filter his
balls that and right now, wewill talk about James if surely they will
bother me, because he was oneof those who criticized him to Diestra and
(03:53):
Siniestra a while ago. But sincewe' re gonna talk about it in
a little bit with the election shirt, something else. Then nothing is a
team that promises. I am oneof those who believes that it can be
favorite, that we can consider ourselvesfavorite, but I am very attached to
the words of Nestor Lorenzo, whosaid yesterday antier with a lot of humility
(04:15):
that I knew this is ball,ball split and that does not mean that
they do not have confidence in themselves. I wish, it' s a
touch of Andrés throwing. Also theissue of the nullification of Colombia. It
is the country that the bar inthe Copa América has been most severely penalized,
a total song of three, thenin the edition of two thousand nineteen
(04:35):
and today again against the Paraguayan team. I would like you to also touch
on that subject of favoritism before goingwell to deglodosar what the performance of the
different players was like. But Iwould like you to talk about that favoritism,
because I saw a very plummeted Colombiathat came out to understand what the
(04:57):
party was and Andrés put on thetable the question of whether the result should
be more bulging. But I sawa selection that she managed from the first
time and in the end the gamealso led her to take some shelter.
You saw that Colombia taking on afavorite against Paraguay. I absolutely agree.
See that many times that favoritism comesmore from journalism of the same hobby than
(05:23):
from the group of players. Ithink they took on the role of party
protagonists, because I think they wentout looking for him. However, they
had the patience and calmness to go, understanding how they could open the scoreboard.
It wasn' t a simple thingfor Cool. He saved himself well,
(05:44):
closed spaces, stepped back and sawthat Colombia in the first time had
three goal options. Richard Rios'finish, which is a high- pressure
recovery within five minutes, and thenthe team didn' t show up again
because they couldn' t find thespaces. However, he had the patience
to understand that, beyond being favoriteand that people would wait for an early
goal, because he had the patienceto play the ball, to look for
(06:09):
the spaces, until the absolute magicof James appeared and solved that with first
a great pass to the second stickto Daniel Muñoz and then a collection that
you collect. There are many inthe games, but goal passes in not
so many collections, which was whatJames did for the docent and I think
that' s where the game wasresolved. Then it seems to me that
(06:30):
favoritism must not only be assumed,but it must be demonstrated as well,
but not shown by going wild tohit a team, but by winning it.
Finally, I think Colombia was veryintelligent because it wasn' t.
The Cup didn' t end today, it just started today. Then Hoya
had to get the result, winthe game with arguments. I believe that
(06:54):
Colombian did not generate as many goaloptions as we have been accustomed to in
this era of Lorenzo, but ithad the strength that has been a characteristic
of this team. So it seemsto me that we probably expected more outside,
we wanted more goals, we wantedto make Colombia overwhelming. But look,
the numbers are blunt. In twenty- one matches with Lorenzo he has
(07:16):
won sixteen and tied five, withforty goals in favor and only fifteen against.
So it' s a team thathas a lot of balance and I
think today emotionally had the balance toknow, to handle favoritism, to be
protagonist, but finally to win theparty that was what was needed. Besides,
it was a complicated game, memo, because starting nerves, that is,
(07:40):
starting is always difficult. One ofthe phrases that I liked that Lorenzo
said yesterday is that the Cup doesnot usually win the one who puts four
goals in the first game, andhe because he already previewed. And it
wasn' t difficult either, butto see a difficult Paraguayan, standing well
as it ended up happening, anda team that had to control that fear
(08:01):
of debut and that I think itdid well. Andres Ahorita was talking about
jame Rodriguez and we' re goingto talk about other players, because I
wanted to ask them. Demo,to begin with, by James Rodriguez,
a key player, driving the team, giving passes, dictating time. I
also wanted to give a piece ofinformation to James Rodriguez, who is putting
in two assists today. The firstColombian player with two assists to a Copa
(08:24):
América match from Davi Ferreira, whodid it against Argentina in two thousand seven,
but also since the edition of onethousand nine hundred eighty- seven,
only two Colombian players have attended threedifferent Copa Americas, that is, they
are Carlos Ramos, Carlos dos Valderramaone thousand nine hundred eighty- seven,
one thousand nine hundred ninety- nine, in one thousand nine hundred ninety-
five and now Jame Rodríguez two thousandsixteen, two thousand nineteen and two thousand
(08:48):
twenty- four. I mean,when he puts on the team shirt,
he' s back to the onewe always met, Fernando. There is
not in the history of Colombian footballand the selection of our country a footballer
who can be promoted as much whenhe puts himself on the yellow shirt as
Jame Rodríguez. I don' twant to talk about the James of clubs,
(09:11):
the controversial James that some consider undisciplined. I want to talk about the
James who comes to the selection andwhenever that boy wears that T- shirt
he does much more and much betterthan in his clubs, not only because
he is noticed the extra effort hemakes, but because he is a guy
who has a lot of talent.He' s the different player. That
(09:33):
' s why I never understood acouple of years ago when Reinaldo Rueda said
that to be in the selection youneeded to be five hundred percent. That
' s probably in a normal playeror an average player, it' s
like that, but in those stars, who are different players, as James
has always been showing, I thinkthat item shouldn' t apply. You
(09:54):
' re right. I think thathe today, with two geniuses, with
two very punctual plays, solves thegame. Then he could even score the
tip and for making a habilitation andnot top off the bow he wasted it.
But I think he' s aman who, besides, is the
selection thermometer. When James is well, the selection is noticed a different air,
(10:16):
he is more cheerful, more forceful, more confident and when he is
not perhaps in a great afternoon,because the team does not have the same
lucidity. Sometimes the same happens withfighting days when the eight days do not
shine, because the selection does nothave so many alternatives. No, but
that' s exactly what characterizes orhighlights those special players that most teams have.
(10:41):
They are the two leaders of theselection. Andrés Osorio, what to
say, of this figure of James, also jumping what he says. Memo
and well, he is a playerwho has also replaced the reviews, of
a player who has been very resistedin the selection, but he has never
stopped showing that passion and that lovefor the team. I disagree, and
(11:01):
right now, we saw an image. I think James shows that he is
the leader and he is the captainand he is the referent, not only
with the ball on his feet,but also with the attitude, because he
is the one who encourages, buthe is also the one who squeezes the
referee and he is the one whoargues and is the one who discusses and
is the one who is present inall possible areas, inside and outside the
(11:24):
court. Then I agree that heis a completely different player when he puts
on the selection shirt. Finally,I think that' s what we want.
Of course, we also look forwardto it going well when you play
your clubs, but your performance willcertainly rise almost exponentially when you put it
on the selection shirt. Today Iwas impressed by something that I think you
(11:48):
have rarely seen in the selection atleast in recent years and it is the
pressure. James is not a runningplayer. James is a player who shows
that football is more of a thinkerthan a run. But I saw as
in two or three ball plays thatwere lost and James was the first to
press, even one that he lost, he recovered it himself. And beyond
(12:11):
James, I think this is avirtue of this Lorenzo selection and it'
s high and good pressure. Iwas also very impressed that he was the
first to receive a ball, almostwhen Camilo Vargas took out, he would
start from behind and fully assume therhythms and threads of the team. Then
I think I applaud that, too. And I hope, then, I
(12:37):
have the physique and the performance sothat throughout this Cup I can be like
this from the beginning, asking CamiloVargas for the ball, being the link
between the defense and the attack andbeing very proactive and very intense also in
the brand. That' s forreal. Today I was surprised by James
Fernando remember that just four days agowe talked between a sportswoman with Javier Hernández
(13:00):
Bonet and told us that James hasalso matured, that he has changed his
attitude in the group. He wassuddenly more of a figure. Today he
understood that he is one more withoutbeing one more, and that makes him
produce much more and that in thegroup he has a much better reception.
(13:20):
I think that is also important tohighlight. He didn' t leave those
suddenly great figure poses and all that, and he understood that he could contribute
much more to the group football suddenlywith a profile, a little bit shorter,
notice me he takes part and besides, he finds a team that also
has other answers. Let' stalk about other players who were key players
(13:41):
from that middle of the field.The double five I think is very consolidated,
the reading more another that is alsovery well established in that selection,
managing the times, controlling the equipment, the exit, controlling the order of
the defense. But the five whoenter, which was something Fabián vargas oscar
told us about the interviews of thecontents that we are seeing about the Copa
(14:03):
América, told us the one whocomes in Rinde and that knows why Richard
Rios comes in, that he wasnot making the headline the headlines were being
to Teusuribe that chestnut and Richard Riosenters and yields and was one of the
most outstanding places andrés. As yousaw today, I am going to Richard
Rdo, his leading figure in theselection of the game against Paraguay. I
(14:24):
was going to start with a guyjoke saying that in Colombia they say that
the rivers are very important, andtoday that was shown on the court with
Richar Ríos, because he was amulti- faceted player, he was a
very surrendering player, He was aplayer who squeezed, but he also had
in Kare, he also had agambet and he also put in like he
(14:46):
also knew how to play the gameof Paraguay, that in the first time
we saw that they were blowing upthose first minutes, because we know that
those games against Paraguay are usually veryphysical and Richard Rios never saw amilanado for
that he always put his chest andimpresses me that, I am impressed that
he does very well his work offive. Let' s say that what
(15:07):
his obligation is does to the letter, but he also has that courage and
courage to go forward if he seesthe space, looks for it and faces
it and looks for who to associatewith to look for a goal option.
So I think it' s veryclose to being the figure along with James.
One has to say that it couldbe James for the two assists that
(15:31):
before we were forgotten and there theywere commenting on the broadcast, because June
24 is like a magical date forJames, for Colombia, for the goal
he made against Japan. Ten yearsago, in the World Cup in Brazil,
the attendances in that game that wonagainst Poland, in the World Cup
(15:52):
in Russia, in which he wentafter, scored his goal and was a
relief for everyone. So that's interesting, too. Those daticos like
horsemen, we also sometimes like footballfans. But without straying further from the
question, for me they were veryclose to par For me I think the
two figures I can' t sayit was just one. It was James
(16:14):
and Richard Ris but here in generathat he was going to put the football
dagger was millionaires today twenty- fourJune Andres. Oh, no, no,
no, no, that' snot selection today. We are talking
about exempting themselves, but see thatin general, that is one of the
important characteristics of this Lorenzo team,which does not depend on one figure or
two. Today I would say that, if they were too bright, all
(16:38):
the players had good behavior. Lookhow Camilo Vargas appeared in two or three
interventions that were crucial. Lucumi,I Lucumi, who was injured at twenty
- four minutes, as another teamcould have felt his absence very much,
but Jenny Jerry Mina came in andalso did well for the bands. The
two players playing both sides did well. Johnarias at yours, Luis Diaz at
(17:03):
yours. Rafael Santos Borrea, althoughnot noticed for the technician, is an
important player because he also has awork of wear and open spaces. So,
I think one of the great virtuesthat this selection has is that it
does not depend on a single playerand, besides, it has alternatives on
the bench that can enter or resolvein a given situation or to close a
(17:26):
game, as in fact happened today, because Okevin entered and also did well.
I think that' s probably thegreatest virtue he has in Colombia,
which is a whole, which isa team that looks supportive, that doesn
' t depend on a single player, and I think that' s also
a little excited about what' scoming. They were talking about right now
(17:47):
that we don' t know ifJames can play six games every three days
and all because he hasn' tdone it all the time. But finally
we all know that there are alternatives, like Carrascal, like Juan Fernando Quintero,
who also have a lot of talentand that, at a certain point
they can come to give a handat the moment when James runs out of
(18:07):
air, which can happen also orplayers, as you will already be Pirilla,
who are also there who have hadcontinued with Lorenzo. In addition,
there is one thing about the collectivethat seems interesting to me It is that,
in addition to the fact that theteam has variants talking about the depth
of the payroll on the court,it is also seen with players who constantly
step on the area and with playersthat give an interesting volume of attack and
(18:30):
it is seen in repetitions, likethe goal of Daniel Muñoz, which is
almost calcado what we saw from Spainplayed fast a long value, comes Muñoz
lateral stepping on the area and putsa head goal that for some of the
head goal was surprising itself because Paraguay, for example, did not make head
goals in a same game of CopaAmérica for twenty- three years. Paraguay,
(18:53):
a historically very strong team in theair game, and Colombia burning for
the first time two top goals inits history in the same game, as
in Copa América in seventy- sixgames. But to talk about that also
the offensive volume and how Daniel Muñoz, for example, is a player who
also enters stepping into the area likethe flyers you like that figure on the
(19:17):
right side. It' s justthat the statistics show in the last time
against the United States, I thinkit was five players who scored. They
' ve all roasted differently. Threeothers against Bolivia. So that shows that
the team in general has a goal. Yes, we have different alternatives for
the attack, and that seems tome to enrich what it is in Lorenzo
(19:41):
' s tactics and strategy and thewhole process that he has been carrying out
during these two years. And there' s another aspect that I think we
haven' t touched and that Ithink is going to be important also in
this America Cup. Let me geta little out of the thing and it
' s about the hobby to meand it moved me as much as ten
(20:04):
years ago, in the World Cupof two thousand fourteen, the national anthem
and one may think that that's a minor fact, but it turns
out that from there Colombia started winningthe game. They are not Communion an
absolute majority in the stands, butbecause people don' t chant the hymn
and shout it and that spreads it. And if you see the players and
(20:25):
the players' faces, not onlyas they sang, but as they looked
at the stands. I think thatwas contagious, too. Yes, and
that is also a great virtue thatthe team had that, despite feeling local,
they were more local than in Barranquilla, and all because in Barranquilla there
were not fifty thousand as there istoday, there was today, he managed
the anxiety and did not get carriedaway. And I think in all of
(20:47):
that you can see the hand ofthe coach, of the coach who tells
them to play quietly, to lookfor alternatives, to take advantage of the
exit on the sides of the twosides, that the two go well to
the attacks, that Richard Rios letgo a little more and that the lerma
comes and does the function of thefive. There backing whenever Rafael Santos Borreo
(21:08):
goes to the right, he goesto the left and when he goes to
one side, the end of theopposite side takes advantage or goes and accompanies
him in a case Johnnarias, onthe one hand and eight days on the
other. I think Colombia has showngood tactical ways and that is what has
finally led it to keep this undefeatedagainst all kinds of teams, because it
(21:30):
has played against team guys and againstbig teams as well and against teams like
today, which was complicated beyond havinga great moment Paraguay. For Guay it
has been a team that in thebig girls has been known to show us
we have decided. It is avery important thing and it is the figure
(21:51):
of the coach and he I wouldalso like to limit him the one that
always thinks about the future and alwaystalks about the future with going calmly and
with going with carme and with goingpatiently in the different matches and the different
challenges that the selection of Colombia YOUSTEDSwill face. I remember how he sees
the challenge of what is coming aCosta Rica, which will be match this
(22:14):
Friday at the same time that wasthe east party with Paraguay. You see
that duel with Costa Rica, ateam that I can' t imagine,
a game that isn' t verydifferent either, it' s going to
be a hard game too, apretty hard game, with a technician who
usually stops quite difficult teams in defensesI used how he sees it and with
(22:36):
what aplomb or with the same aplombshould Colombia face this match with Costa Rica,
which can mean an advance ranking beforethe duel with Brazil that will be
next Tuesday Fernando. This Costa Ricais something unknown to us, because although
we know Gustavo Alfaro, the coach, the players and this team that is
trying to renew, we do notknow him so much. I' m
(22:56):
not a conformist, but I'm not that optimistic either. Not of
those who say Colombia has to beAmerica' s Cup champion to make it
a good Cup. There are waysand, obviously, one in the first
round sees by day the group saidBrazil, Paraguay, Costa Rica and Colombia
one said Well, what is theobjective to classify. You said it very
well. I see a game verysimilar to that of Paraguay. Suddenly Costa
(23:19):
Rica can have a little more footballand not so easy to get in the
back. I think that suddenly,in that sense, Colombia can generate more
options and attack more to violate therival a little more. But it is
very clear that for us that partyat the moment became the one of the
classification, because with six points,a quota is practically secured in the next
(23:41):
phase, in which there it isalready in direct elimination. That' s
another story. I think we hadeverything very clear since before the Cup that
the two rivals to win were CostaRica and Paraguay, and the first task
was done. Then we will lookin front of Brazil, so that it
is beyond the fact that Colombia haswon Brazil in the qualifiers. I always
(24:03):
keep thinking that any Colombian party,Brazil, the favorite in Colombia or Brazil,
or wherever it is, is goingto be in Brazil, because of
its tradition, because of its history, because of its present, for absolutely
everything beyond that we have to gowith the intention of winning it no,
of course, Then I would saythat today Colombia, which in fact I
believe Lorenzo has done, must bethinking about planning the party against Costa Rica
(24:27):
well and achieving those three points thatare finally going to do. What they
claim to go step by step inthis America Cup. Andres how you see
that game with Costa Rica. Itake a lot of account of what I
said, Memo, but also thinkingabout that immediate future and the possibilities of
Colombia. So I' m tellingyou, if Colombia goes Costa Rica,
(24:52):
it' s because Juan Pablo Vargasisn' t a starter in that selection.
But I don' t think you' re saying the key, and
this is the party for Colombia tosecure its ranking. I do think they
should, as memo said, withoutlosing their heads, go out and get
a result soon, as they didtoday. There I agree that it is
(25:14):
going to be a very similar party, but I do believe that they must
come out with the mentality that thisis the party they have to win in
order not to get complicated with Brazil, because there too I agree. And
so, the favorite is always goingto be the team that has five drinks
in the world and because we haveonly won it once in qualifiers, then
we cannot say that for the moment, because it is going to be very
(25:38):
likely that we will get a positiveresult from Brazil. There' s a
better chance than before. I dobelieve this. However, I believe that
the party that can give them thatpeace of mind and that can continue to
give them that confidence that they haveshown is this against Costa Rica. I
also agree that we don' tknow much about the rival led by Gustavo
(26:00):
Alfaro, but well, that's a job that does very well Lorenzo
that' s what we were talkingabout. Right now, these two goals
lead Colombia. Let' s saythey beat Paraguay with their fort, they
also marked us by that same way, by air life. However, that
shows that there is serious work onthe part of the technical body, that
(26:22):
there is serious work on the partof the players, because not only they
analyze the virtues and voids of therival, but also they have the concentration
and the ideas necessary to carry outon the court, since these results,
such as the one obtained today andthe one we hope will be obtained on
Friday. I don' t daresay they' re gonna be hit again.
(26:42):
If so, it' s becauseVargas isn' t a starter,
but I' m confident he'll get the ranking out next Friday.
Very optimistic. The ambassador here fromthe Russian, well, the one who
himself is also quite the ambassador.I also had a question and wanted to
ask him why there is uncertainty aboutthe future with the injury of John Lucumi,
(27:06):
which I think is another news thatleaves the game, especially because he
was a man who came with theconfidence of the coach. It was the
central that Néstor Lorenzo had used mostand came from a season the central with
the best present in Italian football thatso much resents in team and above all
thinking. I mean, you saidright now, Jerry Mina came in and
(27:30):
you didn' t really see somuch value, although you did mess up
the defense a little bit, especiallyin the second half. But you,
how confident you see that they generatethe duple of Davidson Sanchez and Jerry Mina,
which was why the technician chose withthe departure of Lukumi. How he
sees that doubt about the future ofthe team, obviously waiting for John Loupeumi
(27:51):
' s medical part, which westill don' t know, but he
left in 25 minutes for a physicalnuisance. Well, Davidson and Jerry have
been hate and love players in theselection, but you can' t give
their career everything they' ve done, even dressed in yellow at World Cups,
at America Cups and in the world' s major leagues. I believe
(28:15):
a player in Jerry Mina' shierarchy gives security and confidence. Beyond the
fact that Lorenzo' s record wasJohn Locum at this time, we will
have to wait now at the pressconference or in the mixed area, what
about the coach, what is themedical part? I, as far as
I can see, don' tthink it' s an injury of a
(28:37):
couple of days that by Friday willbe able to return. I hope it
' s nothing delicate and we canhave it all of a sudden for the
next phase, but I feel thatthis team, this campus, is prepared
for that kind of vicissitudes that arepresented in these tournaments. Yeah, it
' s Jerry, it' sCarlos. I think in the section or
(29:02):
Jefferson Lerman, I also tell himthat it came out qui but physical.
But there are the other power stations, the other more central ones, and
I would think that the team hasto be prepared for this kind of inconvenience
to overcome them. There are playersthere who can replace it very well.
They' re going to have acouple of days to hook up a little
bit better too, because it's true when you' re working with
(29:26):
another power station and you do itfor a long time, you get used
to what you' ve been doingwith another, beyond knowing each other all
your life, as in the caseof Davison and Jerry. I think it
' s different to face Jerry Minawho sleeps, for example, yes,
because they' re players with differentstories. One has more prestige And that
(29:52):
' s exactly the same thing aswhen a striker faced Iván Ramiro Córdoba,
knew who Iván Ramiro Cordo was,goes beyond other games asking for clue.
And that' s the same thingthat happens when the rival team sees here
at the front. There is jameRodriguez or ramel Falcao García or Carlos Bacabo,
those players who have a great story. And all that, because in
(30:12):
one way or another they face themwith their reservations and with their special care
and all then I would believe thatthe injury of Lucumí I hope it is
not serious. I hope that forColombia it is not so much that the
team does not resent so much,I think it will not do it,
because if something has accustomed us toLorenzo, that is the collective that matters
(30:37):
and in fact, that is whathappened in the Party of itself Joan Andrés
and also to convey the question toYou, that is, let' s
say that Jerry Mina, besides thehierarchy of things that he says, memo
then, leads a good trajectory withLorenzo, that is, he has worked
just like Dame in Son Sanchez.You' ve both given up well.
The doubt is perhaps because by puttingtogether this hard one that has not played
(31:03):
for a while, they can returnghosts, ghosts of the past and perhaps
the trust is not the same thatgenerates the lukumi with Jerry Or it costs
that even was Tamikon Davison you asyou see it. What happens is that
I' m not or I am, Jerry Mina seems to me a guarantee
in the sense that it has greatphysical power. Of course, his height,
(31:26):
his strength and he has something elsethat I' m not very close
to, but I know it workedfor him and it' s the morning.
Jerry Mina is a defender, toput it in a colloquial way,
but that also plays a role withinthe playing field, which I insist,
I am not very friendly with that, but that destabilizes, that generates deconcentration
(31:49):
in the rival and I believe thatin that type of virtues is that Jerry
Mina has managed, therefore, toconsolidate in the teams in which he has
played. Once again, there isno less of his international career and there
is no less confidence given him byLorenzo and I think that in that sense,
it is a very good one,it is a very good complement.
Whether it' s Davinson Sánchez,whether it' s Lucumilla, then he
(32:14):
goes to bed, yes, I, I say Mina' s virtues go
a little. On that side,let' s say that ta technically,
no, it' s not themost ductile and that' s why it
sometimes generates as distrust. But Iknow it' s a key card.
That is why, from the attitudeand from its physical power, it gives
guarantees in defense And so, itgives guarantees in attack. Let us remember
(32:36):
that Jerry Mina, in fact keygoals, that of England in the World
Cup of Russia right now, becausealmost it causes the penalty And then Colombia,
that, again, as we havealready said, throughout this transmission,
has many offensive variants. But inthe air game, having Jerry Mina is
to have almost forty percent odds ofa goal, from a corner shot,
(32:59):
from a still ball. Then again, he has virtues that are very important
that complement the technical aspects of hiscolleagues and that I think they do work
in the end. So that's not the most politically correct thing.
If we could call it that way, we' ll have to see how
(33:20):
the medical part of Lucumill Jefferson's motto that we were talking about remains,
that it also came out with discomfortand all that content they' re
going to have in the viewer,where we' re going to be developing
all the edges that left the party, in addition to the conference. In
this, we will also upload yourwords to the web content and tomorrow you
(33:42):
will also be able to read inthe print the analysis of what was this
match, that first match of theselection. Yeah, to go closing I
also didn' t want to leavewithout asking them how they' ve seen
the America Cup as well. Colombiacame as one of the favorites, Argentina
was another of the favorites, Uruguayalso andrés you of those you have seen.
(34:02):
We need to see Brazil start thegame in a few minutes. How
you' ve seen the favorites andColombia. Well, in that sense,
as you have seen the level ofthe America Cup that for many I have
read, my opinion is that perhapsalso the level is a little low.
Perhaps yesterday' s game of UruguayPanama was the best we saw now that
(34:23):
of Colombia Paraguay was also seen oneof the level of agreement. I think
the best match was Uruguay, whichseemed curious to me because here in the
spectator we entitled it as a tightvictory, that yes and no because those
who saw the party know that Uruguaysuffered a little when it went to a
(34:43):
zero, almost that Panama was closerto tie than Uruguay to mark the second.
But in the end the result wasthree one. And I don'
t think a three- one resultis that tight either. I believe that
the level, at the bottom,is an always- to- be discussion
that will always occur, and thatis that it will happen when when you
(35:05):
participate selects that I agree to participate. I' m not saying they don
' t. But of course,one plays against Amaika and this type of
selections again, because, of course, they work. But it' s
not the level of a world championArgentina. It is not the level of
a Uruguay with a Marcelo Bielsa asa technician. The Argentina in the debut
(35:27):
in or at the opening of theCopa América, as it was also to
be expected. Maybe a lot ofpeople thought it was going to be a
bigger result. It wasn' t, it was a two zero and but
still, I think it showed agood face Argentina, which is what we
have used to, because they arealready many games of the Escaloni team,
(35:49):
because demonstrating hierarchy and showing that italso has many variants of game and many
variants in terms of names. Alsothen I believe that as for the favorites
or the teams they bring finally participatein the America Cup, we have seen
nothing beyond what we expected. Chéveresee a surprise, I don' t
know whose it might be, butI hope to see it and I think
(36:15):
it also happens that perspective influences whenwe have the Euro Cup games, that
one could say the same to theCopa América, when there are teams that
are not so big, let's say or that don' t have
so much weight on their shirt,because they are going to be regular games.
However, this has not happened somuch in the Eurocup. We have
seen games and today it happened againthat they make goals at the last minute
(36:37):
and change all the results, destroyall the jewels that we make. So,
there' s also a difference that' s obvious. Perhaps I think
we all know, and that isthat the level of European football, of
course, is a little higher forall the infrastructure they have and so on.
But as for the America Cup,so as not to deviate further from
(36:59):
the question. I think we're seeing what we expected. It is
missing to see that game of Brazilprecisely and well, I think that second
round is also always very interesting,because some already have to think about looking
for their classification, others in notbeing eliminated so early, then they will
(37:19):
risk much more the teams that perhapsdid not risk so much in the first
round, in one thing, thenerves, that was what Fernando also said
and another, to see a littlefor that expectation of what a game would
be like. Then, surely inthe second round we will see something more
than we thought we could see andhow that panorama already for closing, to
(37:42):
go firing the program, as youhave seen the program of that Copa América.
I believe that the candidates, morethan football, in the mood and
in the hierarchy fulfilled. Argentina startedas it had to start, Uruguay started
as it had to start. Andif I had to talk about football today
in Colombia, it wasn' tgreat. Because of today' s football
(38:06):
thing, I wouldn' t bea candidate. But I think the value
of today was how the party confrontedthe hierarchy it showed and how it finally
got the result without suffering beyond itssmall moments that it staggered a little bit.
We' ll see what happens toBrazil. I think that' s
where we' re going to workout a little bit. The unknown that
(38:27):
we already have seeing all the teamsof the Cup to know which are really
candidates which are going to be favoritefor the title. But one thing is
also the group phase and another verydifferent, those of direct elimination games.
That' s why I told themthat Colombia can make a great Copa América,
but stay out in the next round, because if it makes a great
(38:51):
match to Uruguay, that it canbe the rival, for example, and
is eliminated by penaltytist giving the fightand all that, because that would not
be a bad Copa América, theneverything is relative. I think we have
to wait for the forecasts to befulfilled and today I stay with the way
Colombia faced the party won it withmaturity, a team that showed solidarity,
(39:13):
that showed sun twenty and that reallygives you peace of mind. It is
not a selection that, when youare playing one, is pending throughout the
game, suffering that because they willput the goal. I think that is
the most valuable thing that has lastedthe technical Lorenzo, because with that memo
comment we are also closing the broadcastthis live analysis of sports platform. Thank

Thank you.
Friendly friends welcome to a new chapterof sports tribune. This time with the
debut of the Colombian team in theCopa América, Colombia won Paraguay at its
premiere in Houston, a very goodgame of the Colombian team that we will
(00:24):
analyze today in our sports forum ofthe spectator. I begin by greeting the
spectator' s sports editor, LuisGuillermo Ordoñez, as the Colombian team saw
in this its premiere in the AmericaCup so expected of the United States two
thousand twenty- four. Hello Fernando, then, a very cordial greeting for
(00:46):
you, for all the fans ofthe spectator, to those who read the
printed newspaper and also to those whofollow us through the website and on our
social networks man. It has alwaysbeen said that the first match of such
a competition is probably the most importantone, and I think Colombia met expectations,
beyond the fact that at some pointit relaxed, I think it won
(01:10):
Paraguay well, showed its superiority,continued showing that it is a reliable team,
that it is a solid team andI think it is a good start,
a start that is illusioning in theface of what is coming, that
it is first the match with CostaRica, in which we could assure the
classification already, after Brazil and,hopefully the other instances, because finally,
(01:36):
what we all hope is that thisselection will have a good presentation and get
far Andrés Osorio, coordinator of newsletters of the spectator, already almost a
regular of this sports platform in whichwe follow the track in the last weeks
to the final of the League ofLaw, to the Eurocopa and to all
these topics of the selection of Colombia, and we talked about what we said
(02:00):
to us that favorism with which camethe selection of Colombia. Andrés Osorio saw
a favorite team plummeted with that candidatestatus today debuting at the America Cup Hello,
Fernando Hello, Memo Hello, toall the people who connect. It
' s a pleasure for me tobe here in a sports forum. It
is always very, very, veryenjoyable to share with you and talk about
(02:23):
sports, which is what we lovethe most. I saw a game,
a game to a better team,very solid. I hoped that the result
would be more bulging, without thissounding pretentious and without saying that Paraguay could
not be a good rival. Butwe' ve been seeing Colombia far superior
to this selection for years. However, we ended up I think by pressing
(02:46):
a little bit more than we thoughtwe were going to squeeze by a little
and they call a penalty that Ihonestly believe was not a very similar play
of those in the middle of thecourt. I don' t think so,
however, because we did see avery disciplined team, the very solid
defensive line in the middle field,all very connected to make the transitions and
(03:09):
in the curious good attack, becausethe goals don' t come from the
forwards. That' s not bad. I' m not saying that'
s bad. On the contrary,I think Colombia has shown that it has
different ways to attack and score andwell, with one to me it seems
that they criticize Rafael Santos Borré alot, but it is a player who
(03:32):
does the dirty work many times,that it is the one that drags the
marks with its diagonals, that itis the one that opens the spaces so
that precisely a Luis Díaz arrives fromthe sides so that James can filter his
balls that and right now, wewill talk about James if surely they will
bother me, because he was oneof those who criticized him to Diestra and
(03:53):
Siniestra a while ago. But sincewe' re gonna talk about it in
a little bit with the election shirt, something else. Then nothing is a
team that promises. I am oneof those who believes that it can be
favorite, that we can consider ourselvesfavorite, but I am very attached to
the words of Nestor Lorenzo, whosaid yesterday antier with a lot of humility
(04:15):
that I knew this is ball,ball split and that does not mean that
they do not have confidence in themselves. I wish, it' s a
touch of Andrés throwing. Also theissue of the nullification of Colombia. It
is the country that the bar inthe Copa América has been most severely penalized,
a total song of three, thenin the edition of two thousand nineteen
(04:35):
and today again against the Paraguayan team. I would like you to also touch
on that subject of favoritism before goingwell to deglodosar what the performance of the
different players was like. But Iwould like you to talk about that favoritism,
because I saw a very plummeted Colombiathat came out to understand what the
(04:57):
party was and Andrés put on thetable the question of whether the result should
be more bulging. But I sawa selection that she managed from the first
time and in the end the gamealso led her to take some shelter.
You saw that Colombia taking on afavorite against Paraguay. I absolutely agree.
See that many times that favoritism comesmore from journalism of the same hobby than
(05:23):
from the group of players. Ithink they took on the role of party
protagonists, because I think they wentout looking for him. However, they
had the patience and calmness to go, understanding how they could open the scoreboard.
It wasn' t a simple thingfor Cool. He saved himself well,
(05:44):
closed spaces, stepped back and sawthat Colombia in the first time had
three goal options. Richard Rios'finish, which is a high- pressure
recovery within five minutes, and thenthe team didn' t show up again
because they couldn' t find thespaces. However, he had the patience
to understand that, beyond being favoriteand that people would wait for an early
goal, because he had the patienceto play the ball, to look for
(06:09):
the spaces, until the absolute magicof James appeared and solved that with first
a great pass to the second stickto Daniel Muñoz and then a collection that
you collect. There are many inthe games, but goal passes in not
so many collections, which was whatJames did for the docent and I think
that' s where the game wasresolved. Then it seems to me that
(06:30):
favoritism must not only be assumed,but it must be demonstrated as well,
but not shown by going wild tohit a team, but by winning it.
Finally, I think Colombia was veryintelligent because it wasn' t.
The Cup didn' t end today, it just started today. Then Hoya
had to get the result, winthe game with arguments. I believe that
(06:54):
Colombian did not generate as many goaloptions as we have been accustomed to in
this era of Lorenzo, but ithad the strength that has been a characteristic
of this team. So it seemsto me that we probably expected more outside,
we wanted more goals, we wantedto make Colombia overwhelming. But look,
the numbers are blunt. In twenty- one matches with Lorenzo he has
(07:16):
won sixteen and tied five, withforty goals in favor and only fifteen against.
So it' s a team thathas a lot of balance and I
think today emotionally had the balance toknow, to handle favoritism, to be
protagonist, but finally to win theparty that was what was needed. Besides,
it was a complicated game, memo, because starting nerves, that is,
(07:40):
starting is always difficult. One ofthe phrases that I liked that Lorenzo
said yesterday is that the Cup doesnot usually win the one who puts four
goals in the first game, andhe because he already previewed. And it
wasn' t difficult either, butto see a difficult Paraguayan, standing well
as it ended up happening, anda team that had to control that fear
(08:01):
of debut and that I think itdid well. Andres Ahorita was talking about
jame Rodriguez and we' re goingto talk about other players, because I
wanted to ask them. Demo,to begin with, by James Rodriguez,
a key player, driving the team, giving passes, dictating time. I
also wanted to give a piece ofinformation to James Rodriguez, who is putting
in two assists today. The firstColombian player with two assists to a Copa
(08:24):
América match from Davi Ferreira, whodid it against Argentina in two thousand seven,
but also since the edition of onethousand nine hundred eighty- seven,
only two Colombian players have attended threedifferent Copa Americas, that is, they
are Carlos Ramos, Carlos dos Valderramaone thousand nine hundred eighty- seven,
one thousand nine hundred ninety- nine, in one thousand nine hundred ninety-
five and now Jame Rodríguez two thousandsixteen, two thousand nineteen and two thousand
(08:48):
twenty- four. I mean,when he puts on the team shirt,
he' s back to the onewe always met, Fernando. There is
not in the history of Colombian footballand the selection of our country a footballer
who can be promoted as much whenhe puts himself on the yellow shirt as
Jame Rodríguez. I don' twant to talk about the James of clubs,
(09:11):
the controversial James that some consider undisciplined. I want to talk about the
James who comes to the selection andwhenever that boy wears that T- shirt
he does much more and much betterthan in his clubs, not only because
he is noticed the extra effort hemakes, but because he is a guy
who has a lot of talent.He' s the different player. That
(09:33):
' s why I never understood acouple of years ago when Reinaldo Rueda said
that to be in the selection youneeded to be five hundred percent. That
' s probably in a normal playeror an average player, it' s
like that, but in those stars, who are different players, as James
has always been showing, I thinkthat item shouldn' t apply. You
(09:54):
' re right. I think thathe today, with two geniuses, with
two very punctual plays, solves thegame. Then he could even score the
tip and for making a habilitation andnot top off the bow he wasted it.
But I think he' s aman who, besides, is the
selection thermometer. When James is well, the selection is noticed a different air,
(10:16):
he is more cheerful, more forceful, more confident and when he is
not perhaps in a great afternoon,because the team does not have the same
lucidity. Sometimes the same happens withfighting days when the eight days do not
shine, because the selection does nothave so many alternatives. No, but
that' s exactly what characterizes orhighlights those special players that most teams have.
(10:41):
They are the two leaders of theselection. Andrés Osorio, what to
say, of this figure of James, also jumping what he says. Memo
and well, he is a playerwho has also replaced the reviews, of
a player who has been very resistedin the selection, but he has never
stopped showing that passion and that lovefor the team. I disagree, and
(11:01):
right now, we saw an image. I think James shows that he is
the leader and he is the captainand he is the referent, not only
with the ball on his feet,but also with the attitude, because he
is the one who encourages, buthe is also the one who squeezes the
referee and he is the one whoargues and is the one who discusses and
is the one who is present inall possible areas, inside and outside the
(11:24):
court. Then I agree that heis a completely different player when he puts
on the selection shirt. Finally,I think that' s what we want.
Of course, we also look forwardto it going well when you play
your clubs, but your performance willcertainly rise almost exponentially when you put it
on the selection shirt. Today Iwas impressed by something that I think you
(11:48):
have rarely seen in the selection atleast in recent years and it is the
pressure. James is not a runningplayer. James is a player who shows
that football is more of a thinkerthan a run. But I saw as
in two or three ball plays thatwere lost and James was the first to
press, even one that he lost, he recovered it himself. And beyond
(12:11):
James, I think this is avirtue of this Lorenzo selection and it'
s high and good pressure. Iwas also very impressed that he was the
first to receive a ball, almostwhen Camilo Vargas took out, he would
start from behind and fully assume therhythms and threads of the team. Then
I think I applaud that, too. And I hope, then, I
(12:37):
have the physique and the performance sothat throughout this Cup I can be like
this from the beginning, asking CamiloVargas for the ball, being the link
between the defense and the attack andbeing very proactive and very intense also in
the brand. That' s forreal. Today I was surprised by James
Fernando remember that just four days agowe talked between a sportswoman with Javier Hernández
(13:00):
Bonet and told us that James hasalso matured, that he has changed his
attitude in the group. He wassuddenly more of a figure. Today he
understood that he is one more withoutbeing one more, and that makes him
produce much more and that in thegroup he has a much better reception.
(13:20):
I think that is also important tohighlight. He didn' t leave those
suddenly great figure poses and all that, and he understood that he could contribute
much more to the group football suddenlywith a profile, a little bit shorter,
notice me he takes part and besides, he finds a team that also
has other answers. Let' stalk about other players who were key players
(13:41):
from that middle of the field.The double five I think is very consolidated,
the reading more another that is alsovery well established in that selection,
managing the times, controlling the equipment, the exit, controlling the order of
the defense. But the five whoenter, which was something Fabián vargas oscar
told us about the interviews of thecontents that we are seeing about the Copa
(14:03):
América, told us the one whocomes in Rinde and that knows why Richard
Rios comes in, that he wasnot making the headline the headlines were being
to Teusuribe that chestnut and Richard Riosenters and yields and was one of the
most outstanding places andrés. As yousaw today, I am going to Richard
Rdo, his leading figure in theselection of the game against Paraguay. I
(14:24):
was going to start with a guyjoke saying that in Colombia they say that
the rivers are very important, andtoday that was shown on the court with
Richar Ríos, because he was amulti- faceted player, he was a
very surrendering player, He was aplayer who squeezed, but he also had
in Kare, he also had agambet and he also put in like he
(14:46):
also knew how to play the gameof Paraguay, that in the first time
we saw that they were blowing upthose first minutes, because we know that
those games against Paraguay are usually veryphysical and Richard Rios never saw amilanado for
that he always put his chest andimpresses me that, I am impressed that
he does very well his work offive. Let' s say that what
(15:07):
his obligation is does to the letter, but he also has that courage and
courage to go forward if he seesthe space, looks for it and faces
it and looks for who to associatewith to look for a goal option.
So I think it' s veryclose to being the figure along with James.
One has to say that it couldbe James for the two assists that
(15:31):
before we were forgotten and there theywere commenting on the broadcast, because June
24 is like a magical date forJames, for Colombia, for the goal
he made against Japan. Ten yearsago, in the World Cup in Brazil,
the attendances in that game that wonagainst Poland, in the World Cup
(15:52):
in Russia, in which he wentafter, scored his goal and was a
relief for everyone. So that's interesting, too. Those daticos like
horsemen, we also sometimes like footballfans. But without straying further from the
question, for me they were veryclose to par For me I think the
two figures I can' t sayit was just one. It was James
(16:14):
and Richard Ris but here in generathat he was going to put the football
dagger was millionaires today twenty- fourJune Andres. Oh, no, no,
no, no, that' snot selection today. We are talking
about exempting themselves, but see thatin general, that is one of the
important characteristics of this Lorenzo team,which does not depend on one figure or
two. Today I would say that, if they were too bright, all
(16:38):
the players had good behavior. Lookhow Camilo Vargas appeared in two or three
interventions that were crucial. Lucumi,I Lucumi, who was injured at twenty
- four minutes, as another teamcould have felt his absence very much,
but Jenny Jerry Mina came in andalso did well for the bands. The
two players playing both sides did well. Johnarias at yours, Luis Diaz at
(17:03):
yours. Rafael Santos Borrea, althoughnot noticed for the technician, is an
important player because he also has awork of wear and open spaces. So,
I think one of the great virtuesthat this selection has is that it
does not depend on a single playerand, besides, it has alternatives on
the bench that can enter or resolvein a given situation or to close a
(17:26):
game, as in fact happened today, because Okevin entered and also did well.
I think that' s probably thegreatest virtue he has in Colombia,
which is a whole, which isa team that looks supportive, that doesn
' t depend on a single player, and I think that' s also
a little excited about what' scoming. They were talking about right now
(17:47):
that we don' t know ifJames can play six games every three days
and all because he hasn' tdone it all the time. But finally
we all know that there are alternatives, like Carrascal, like Juan Fernando Quintero,
who also have a lot of talentand that, at a certain point
they can come to give a handat the moment when James runs out of
(18:07):
air, which can happen also orplayers, as you will already be Pirilla,
who are also there who have hadcontinued with Lorenzo. In addition,
there is one thing about the collectivethat seems interesting to me It is that,
in addition to the fact that theteam has variants talking about the depth
of the payroll on the court,it is also seen with players who constantly
step on the area and with playersthat give an interesting volume of attack and
(18:30):
it is seen in repetitions, likethe goal of Daniel Muñoz, which is
almost calcado what we saw from Spainplayed fast a long value, comes Muñoz
lateral stepping on the area and putsa head goal that for some of the
head goal was surprising itself because Paraguay, for example, did not make head
goals in a same game of CopaAmérica for twenty- three years. Paraguay,
(18:53):
a historically very strong team in theair game, and Colombia burning for
the first time two top goals inits history in the same game, as
in Copa América in seventy- sixgames. But to talk about that also
the offensive volume and how Daniel Muñoz, for example, is a player who
also enters stepping into the area likethe flyers you like that figure on the
(19:17):
right side. It' s justthat the statistics show in the last time
against the United States, I thinkit was five players who scored. They
' ve all roasted differently. Threeothers against Bolivia. So that shows that
the team in general has a goal. Yes, we have different alternatives for
the attack, and that seems tome to enrich what it is in Lorenzo
(19:41):
' s tactics and strategy and thewhole process that he has been carrying out
during these two years. And there' s another aspect that I think we
haven' t touched and that Ithink is going to be important also in
this America Cup. Let me geta little out of the thing and it
' s about the hobby to meand it moved me as much as ten
(20:04):
years ago, in the World Cupof two thousand fourteen, the national anthem
and one may think that that's a minor fact, but it turns
out that from there Colombia started winningthe game. They are not Communion an
absolute majority in the stands, butbecause people don' t chant the hymn
and shout it and that spreads it. And if you see the players and
(20:25):
the players' faces, not onlyas they sang, but as they looked
at the stands. I think thatwas contagious, too. Yes, and
that is also a great virtue thatthe team had that, despite feeling local,
they were more local than in Barranquilla, and all because in Barranquilla there
were not fifty thousand as there istoday, there was today, he managed
the anxiety and did not get carriedaway. And I think in all of
(20:47):
that you can see the hand ofthe coach, of the coach who tells
them to play quietly, to lookfor alternatives, to take advantage of the
exit on the sides of the twosides, that the two go well to
the attacks, that Richard Rios letgo a little more and that the lerma
comes and does the function of thefive. There backing whenever Rafael Santos Borreo
(21:08):
goes to the right, he goesto the left and when he goes to
one side, the end of theopposite side takes advantage or goes and accompanies
him in a case Johnnarias, onthe one hand and eight days on the
other. I think Colombia has showngood tactical ways and that is what has
finally led it to keep this undefeatedagainst all kinds of teams, because it
(21:30):
has played against team guys and againstbig teams as well and against teams like
today, which was complicated beyond havinga great moment Paraguay. For Guay it
has been a team that in thebig girls has been known to show us
we have decided. It is avery important thing and it is the figure
(21:51):
of the coach and he I wouldalso like to limit him the one that
always thinks about the future and alwaystalks about the future with going calmly and
with going with carme and with goingpatiently in the different matches and the different
challenges that the selection of Colombia YOUSTEDSwill face. I remember how he sees
the challenge of what is coming aCosta Rica, which will be match this
(22:14):
Friday at the same time that wasthe east party with Paraguay. You see
that duel with Costa Rica, ateam that I can' t imagine,
a game that isn' t verydifferent either, it' s going to
be a hard game too, apretty hard game, with a technician who
usually stops quite difficult teams in defensesI used how he sees it and with
(22:36):
what aplomb or with the same aplombshould Colombia face this match with Costa Rica,
which can mean an advance ranking beforethe duel with Brazil that will be
next Tuesday Fernando. This Costa Ricais something unknown to us, because although
we know Gustavo Alfaro, the coach, the players and this team that is
trying to renew, we do notknow him so much. I' m
(22:56):
not a conformist, but I'm not that optimistic either. Not of
those who say Colombia has to beAmerica' s Cup champion to make it
a good Cup. There are waysand, obviously, one in the first
round sees by day the group saidBrazil, Paraguay, Costa Rica and Colombia
one said Well, what is theobjective to classify. You said it very
well. I see a game verysimilar to that of Paraguay. Suddenly Costa
(23:19):
Rica can have a little more footballand not so easy to get in the
back. I think that suddenly,in that sense, Colombia can generate more
options and attack more to violate therival a little more. But it is
very clear that for us that partyat the moment became the one of the
classification, because with six points,a quota is practically secured in the next
(23:41):
phase, in which there it isalready in direct elimination. That' s
another story. I think we hadeverything very clear since before the Cup that
the two rivals to win were CostaRica and Paraguay, and the first task
was done. Then we will lookin front of Brazil, so that it
is beyond the fact that Colombia haswon Brazil in the qualifiers. I always
(24:03):
keep thinking that any Colombian party,Brazil, the favorite in Colombia or Brazil,
or wherever it is, is goingto be in Brazil, because of
its tradition, because of its history, because of its present, for absolutely
everything beyond that we have to gowith the intention of winning it no,
of course, Then I would saythat today Colombia, which in fact I
believe Lorenzo has done, must bethinking about planning the party against Costa Rica
(24:27):
well and achieving those three points thatare finally going to do. What they
claim to go step by step inthis America Cup. Andres how you see
that game with Costa Rica. Itake a lot of account of what I
said, Memo, but also thinkingabout that immediate future and the possibilities of
Colombia. So I' m tellingyou, if Colombia goes Costa Rica,
(24:52):
it' s because Juan Pablo Vargasisn' t a starter in that selection.
But I don' t think you' re saying the key, and
this is the party for Colombia tosecure its ranking. I do think they
should, as memo said, withoutlosing their heads, go out and get
a result soon, as they didtoday. There I agree that it is
(25:14):
going to be a very similar party, but I do believe that they must
come out with the mentality that thisis the party they have to win in
order not to get complicated with Brazil, because there too I agree. And
so, the favorite is always goingto be the team that has five drinks
in the world and because we haveonly won it once in qualifiers, then
we cannot say that for the moment, because it is going to be very
(25:38):
likely that we will get a positiveresult from Brazil. There' s a
better chance than before. I dobelieve this. However, I believe that
the party that can give them thatpeace of mind and that can continue to
give them that confidence that they haveshown is this against Costa Rica. I
also agree that we don' tknow much about the rival led by Gustavo
(26:00):
Alfaro, but well, that's a job that does very well Lorenzo
that' s what we were talkingabout. Right now, these two goals
lead Colombia. Let' s saythey beat Paraguay with their fort, they
also marked us by that same way, by air life. However, that
shows that there is serious work onthe part of the technical body, that
(26:22):
there is serious work on the partof the players, because not only they
analyze the virtues and voids of therival, but also they have the concentration
and the ideas necessary to carry outon the court, since these results,
such as the one obtained today andthe one we hope will be obtained on
Friday. I don' t daresay they' re gonna be hit again.
(26:42):
If so, it' s becauseVargas isn' t a starter,
but I' m confident he'll get the ranking out next Friday.
Very optimistic. The ambassador here fromthe Russian, well, the one who
himself is also quite the ambassador.I also had a question and wanted to
ask him why there is uncertainty aboutthe future with the injury of John Lucumi,
(27:06):
which I think is another news thatleaves the game, especially because he
was a man who came with theconfidence of the coach. It was the
central that Néstor Lorenzo had used mostand came from a season the central with
the best present in Italian football thatso much resents in team and above all
thinking. I mean, you saidright now, Jerry Mina came in and
(27:30):
you didn' t really see somuch value, although you did mess up
the defense a little bit, especiallyin the second half. But you,
how confident you see that they generatethe duple of Davidson Sanchez and Jerry Mina,
which was why the technician chose withthe departure of Lukumi. How he
sees that doubt about the future ofthe team, obviously waiting for John Loupeumi
(27:51):
' s medical part, which westill don' t know, but he
left in 25 minutes for a physicalnuisance. Well, Davidson and Jerry have
been hate and love players in theselection, but you can' t give
their career everything they' ve done, even dressed in yellow at World Cups,
at America Cups and in the world' s major leagues. I believe
(28:15):
a player in Jerry Mina' shierarchy gives security and confidence. Beyond the
fact that Lorenzo' s record wasJohn Locum at this time, we will
have to wait now at the pressconference or in the mixed area, what
about the coach, what is themedical part? I, as far as
I can see, don' tthink it' s an injury of a
(28:37):
couple of days that by Friday willbe able to return. I hope it
' s nothing delicate and we canhave it all of a sudden for the
next phase, but I feel thatthis team, this campus, is prepared
for that kind of vicissitudes that arepresented in these tournaments. Yeah, it
' s Jerry, it' sCarlos. I think in the section or
(29:02):
Jefferson Lerman, I also tell himthat it came out qui but physical.
But there are the other power stations, the other more central ones, and
I would think that the team hasto be prepared for this kind of inconvenience
to overcome them. There are playersthere who can replace it very well.
They' re going to have acouple of days to hook up a little
bit better too, because it's true when you' re working with
(29:26):
another power station and you do itfor a long time, you get used
to what you' ve been doingwith another, beyond knowing each other all
your life, as in the caseof Davison and Jerry. I think it
' s different to face Jerry Minawho sleeps, for example, yes,
because they' re players with differentstories. One has more prestige And that
(29:52):
' s exactly the same thing aswhen a striker faced Iván Ramiro Córdoba,
knew who Iván Ramiro Cordo was,goes beyond other games asking for clue.
And that' s the same thingthat happens when the rival team sees here
at the front. There is jameRodriguez or ramel Falcao García or Carlos Bacabo,
those players who have a great story. And all that, because in
(30:12):
one way or another they face themwith their reservations and with their special care
and all then I would believe thatthe injury of Lucumí I hope it is
not serious. I hope that forColombia it is not so much that the
team does not resent so much,I think it will not do it,
because if something has accustomed us toLorenzo, that is the collective that matters
(30:37):
and in fact, that is whathappened in the Party of itself Joan Andrés
and also to convey the question toYou, that is, let' s
say that Jerry Mina, besides thehierarchy of things that he says, memo
then, leads a good trajectory withLorenzo, that is, he has worked
just like Dame in Son Sanchez.You' ve both given up well.
The doubt is perhaps because by puttingtogether this hard one that has not played
(31:03):
for a while, they can returnghosts, ghosts of the past and perhaps
the trust is not the same thatgenerates the lukumi with Jerry Or it costs
that even was Tamikon Davison you asyou see it. What happens is that
I' m not or I am, Jerry Mina seems to me a guarantee
in the sense that it has greatphysical power. Of course, his height,
(31:26):
his strength and he has something elsethat I' m not very close
to, but I know it workedfor him and it' s the morning.
Jerry Mina is a defender, toput it in a colloquial way,
but that also plays a role withinthe playing field, which I insist,
I am not very friendly with that, but that destabilizes, that generates deconcentration
(31:49):
in the rival and I believe thatin that type of virtues is that Jerry
Mina has managed, therefore, toconsolidate in the teams in which he has
played. Once again, there isno less of his international career and there
is no less confidence given him byLorenzo and I think that in that sense,
it is a very good one,it is a very good complement.
Whether it' s Davinson Sánchez,whether it' s Lucumilla, then he
(32:14):
goes to bed, yes, I, I say Mina' s virtues go
a little. On that side,let' s say that ta technically,
no, it' s not themost ductile and that' s why it
sometimes generates as distrust. But Iknow it' s a key card.
That is why, from the attitudeand from its physical power, it gives
guarantees in defense And so, itgives guarantees in attack. Let us remember
(32:36):
that Jerry Mina, in fact keygoals, that of England in the World
Cup of Russia right now, becausealmost it causes the penalty And then Colombia,
that, again, as we havealready said, throughout this transmission,
has many offensive variants. But inthe air game, having Jerry Mina is
to have almost forty percent odds ofa goal, from a corner shot,
(32:59):
from a still ball. Then again, he has virtues that are very important
that complement the technical aspects of hiscolleagues and that I think they do work
in the end. So that's not the most politically correct thing.
If we could call it that way, we' ll have to see how
(33:20):
the medical part of Lucumill Jefferson's motto that we were talking about remains,
that it also came out with discomfortand all that content they' re
going to have in the viewer,where we' re going to be developing
all the edges that left the party, in addition to the conference. In
this, we will also upload yourwords to the web content and tomorrow you
(33:42):
will also be able to read inthe print the analysis of what was this
match, that first match of theselection. Yeah, to go closing I
also didn' t want to leavewithout asking them how they' ve seen
the America Cup as well. Colombiacame as one of the favorites, Argentina
was another of the favorites, Uruguayalso andrés you of those you have seen.
(34:02):
We need to see Brazil start thegame in a few minutes. How
you' ve seen the favorites andColombia. Well, in that sense,
as you have seen the level ofthe America Cup that for many I have
read, my opinion is that perhapsalso the level is a little low.
Perhaps yesterday' s game of UruguayPanama was the best we saw now that
(34:23):
of Colombia Paraguay was also seen oneof the level of agreement. I think
the best match was Uruguay, whichseemed curious to me because here in the
spectator we entitled it as a tightvictory, that yes and no because those
who saw the party know that Uruguaysuffered a little when it went to a
(34:43):
zero, almost that Panama was closerto tie than Uruguay to mark the second.
But in the end the result wasthree one. And I don'
t think a three- one resultis that tight either. I believe that
the level, at the bottom,is an always- to- be discussion
that will always occur, and thatis that it will happen when when you
(35:05):
participate selects that I agree to participate. I' m not saying they don
' t. But of course,one plays against Amaika and this type of
selections again, because, of course, they work. But it' s
not the level of a world championArgentina. It is not the level of
a Uruguay with a Marcelo Bielsa asa technician. The Argentina in the debut
(35:27):
in or at the opening of theCopa América, as it was also to
be expected. Maybe a lot ofpeople thought it was going to be a
bigger result. It wasn' t, it was a two zero and but
still, I think it showed agood face Argentina, which is what we
have used to, because they arealready many games of the Escaloni team,
(35:49):
because demonstrating hierarchy and showing that italso has many variants of game and many
variants in terms of names. Alsothen I believe that as for the favorites
or the teams they bring finally participatein the America Cup, we have seen
nothing beyond what we expected. Chéveresee a surprise, I don' t
know whose it might be, butI hope to see it and I think
(36:15):
it also happens that perspective influences whenwe have the Euro Cup games, that
one could say the same to theCopa América, when there are teams that
are not so big, let's say or that don' t have
so much weight on their shirt,because they are going to be regular games.
However, this has not happened somuch in the Eurocup. We have
seen games and today it happened againthat they make goals at the last minute
(36:37):
and change all the results, destroyall the jewels that we make. So,
there' s also a difference that' s obvious. Perhaps I think
we all know, and that isthat the level of European football, of
course, is a little higher forall the infrastructure they have and so on.
But as for the America Cup,so as not to deviate further from
(36:59):
the question. I think we're seeing what we expected. It is
missing to see that game of Brazilprecisely and well, I think that second
round is also always very interesting,because some already have to think about looking
for their classification, others in notbeing eliminated so early, then they will
(37:19):
risk much more the teams that perhapsdid not risk so much in the first
round, in one thing, thenerves, that was what Fernando also said
and another, to see a littlefor that expectation of what a game would
be like. Then, surely inthe second round we will see something more
than we thought we could see andhow that panorama already for closing, to
(37:42):
go firing the program, as youhave seen the program of that Copa América.
I believe that the candidates, morethan football, in the mood and
in the hierarchy fulfilled. Argentina startedas it had to start, Uruguay started
as it had to start. Andif I had to talk about football today
in Colombia, it wasn' tgreat. Because of today' s football
(38:06):
thing, I wouldn' t bea candidate. But I think the value
of today was how the party confrontedthe hierarchy it showed and how it finally
got the result without suffering beyond itssmall moments that it staggered a little bit.
We' ll see what happens toBrazil. I think that' s
where we' re going to workout a little bit. The unknown that
(38:27):
we already have seeing all the teamsof the Cup to know which are really
candidates which are going to be favoritefor the title. But one thing is
also the group phase and another verydifferent, those of direct elimination games.
That' s why I told themthat Colombia can make a great Copa América,
but stay out in the next round, because if it makes a great
(38:51):
match to Uruguay, that it canbe the rival, for example, and
is eliminated by penaltytist giving the fightand all that, because that would not
be a bad Copa América, theneverything is relative. I think we have
to wait for the forecasts to befulfilled and today I stay with the way
Colombia faced the party won it withmaturity, a team that showed solidarity,
(39:13):
that showed sun twenty and that reallygives you peace of mind. It is
not a selection that, when youare playing one, is pending throughout the
game, suffering that because they willput the goal. I think that is
the most valuable thing that has lastedthe technical Lorenzo, because with that memo
comment we are also closing the broadcastthis live analysis of sports platform. Thank
