Friends, friends of the spectator,welcome to a new chapter of sports platform
expectant with the semifinals of the EuroCup that begin today with Spain and France,
and also, of course, thestart of the semifinals of the Copa
América, which will begin with Argentinaand Canada. The Spanish and French duel
at two o' clock and thatof Canada against Argentina at seven o'
(00:27):
clock today of a lot of soccer, because in addition to debut to falcao
garcía millionaires against river Plate, theteam that emerged, the team that was
made in which he became professional inArgentina and that also gave it to show
the world. Even the best screenwriterwould not have prepared that premiere of millionaires
(00:48):
falcado, but what is brought toour attention, all the spotlights is the
game of the Colombian team against Uruguay, which will play in the semifinals of
the Copa América tomorrow Wednesday at seveno' clock in the night, with
transmission of the goal Caracol, Colombiacomes from a brilliant match against Panama,
five zero. A match was expectedthat would be easy, but we will
see against Uruguay, a much moreclosed match and a forecast difficult to predict.
(01:12):
Don Luis Guillermo Ordoñez, a regularof this table, welcome to the
sports gallery. And how to seethat game against Uruguay. Two teams in
theory, you will tell me,but two teams that play similar with offensive
decisions, fast, with a gamemodel especially very dynamic. But perhaps Uruguay
with more claw, with more determinationat the time of defensive moments and a
(01:37):
Colombia that is perhaps characterized by agreater possiion of the ball. You see
that semifinal duel with Colombia looking forthe final of the Copa América. Hi
Fernando, how nice to all thefriends of the spectator of a great greeting
man. I really think the AmericaCup for Colombia starts tomorrow. Beyond all
the good he has done in thesefirst presentations, it really depends on the
(02:00):
ability to say that he made agood Copa América or a discrete Copa América
Paraguay, Costa Rica, Panama arerivals to those that Colombia should normally beat
them. The game with Brazil wasa bit atypical, because Colombia was already
classified, beyond the fact that itcommissioned it with the seriousness it required to
(02:23):
be the first, but without adoubt the crusaders are the most important matches
in this type of tournaments. Solet' s say that all the good
that has been done must be corroboratedin front of Uruguay. I think Colombia
has football, it has football maturityand it has the work to do it,
but obviously, it will not beeasy against one of the teams that
(02:45):
has done the best things in thisCopa América and that brings an important process
also very similar to that of Colombia, they under the command of Marcelo Bielsa,
to us with Néstor Lorenzo. Ithink it' s definitely a reserved
forecast game. There' s away to fight it, but it wouldn
' t be weird for Uruguay towin it too in a tight way.
(03:07):
Two similar processes with two Argentine technicianswho started almost at the same time and
who are going in the same directionvery well in the eliminatory. I expected
her before the Copa América that thiswould be the duel, at least for
Colombia, if six more months hasthe process of Nestor Lorenzo. But also
notice that in both have tried tomake renewal, of course with some players
(03:29):
of the old Guard. But theyhave greatly renewed the Uruguay campus after a
world championship that was, let's say, rather discreet in tasting us
without having been able to go tothat date. But they are processes that
have many, many similarities and,above all, something that is the credibility
that the two coaches have generated throughoutthe football environment. Look, that'
(03:53):
s very important in Colombia. Fewtimes the whole country is united around the
selection and thinking pulling for the sameside. I believe that with Lorenzo that
has been achieved, as happened inthe first stage with Beckerman and obviously,
in Uruguay people believe very much Bielsa. They' re convinced of the project
and they' re all pulling onthe same side. Well, at this
memo table is a regular, buttoday Buta' s that in quintero de
(04:15):
Butafa, Alcoby millionaires and U deButan, tigers are Butako' s tigers
in quintero, here, in quinteroand Ramirez that in quintero de Butar in
Paris. Don Kevin also talk aboutyou, who is a more folkloric football
man who likes the subject of fans. Uruguay is a rival to which Colombia
(04:36):
has the retina of recent duels.Of course he remembers the duel with James
as a protagonist, as a protagonistin Brazil two thousand fourteen and in the
qualifiers in the last Copa América,that to speak of that historical transcendence that
this duel has in the Copa isa fairly recurring duel. The first duel
(04:56):
between Colombia and Uruguay ended with aseven to zero in favor of Uruguay Copa
America, as the history of Uruguayweighs exactly, exactly and well in forty
- four games, since twenty victoriesfor Uruguay, barely twelve for Colombia and
two draws that we can also drawfrom those numbers. There you go.
(05:17):
I believe that statistical memos favor Uruguayhistorically. Yes, it is a team
that arrives with fifteen cups America,obviously twice champion in the world, but
in recent times Colombia has also beenup to those owners, because I have
always thought that the numbers do notlie, but the present neither. That
is the present today is different Ais to that historical statistic that indicates that
(05:41):
then we would not have to play, because Uruguay pays nothing. However,
it weighs on us, probably playingagainst Uruguay, against Argentina and against Brazil
is a classic. For them.We' re not classic. Playing against
Colombia is not a classic why,because of that story. But if we
' re just going to talk aboutthe present today, I think this is
an advanced ending for what has beenseen without demeaning Argentina. Of course,
(06:04):
Argentina is Argentina, but for whatthey have shown in this America Cup.
Uruguay and Colombia have been the teamsthat have played football best in this.
Considering that memo Kevin says, Colombiaarrives with the best records, America soup
scorers, with eleven goals, barelytwo awarded, but Uruguay arrives with nine
and one conceis In other words,yes, they are very similar. They
(06:27):
are not two teams that in LatinAmerica have played very accurately. I think
it' s a very, veryeven semifinal and I think it' s
the duel that many of us arehoping that somehow or other it' s
going to take place and that goodis that it also has its history in
Copa América, which has been eleventimes, six victories for Uruguay, three
for Colombia, two draws. That' s right, in direct elimination,
(06:47):
it' s been better for us. Yes, yes, yes, because
it has been played five times withthree wins for Colombia and two for Uruguay,
and the last in Copa América wasthat in the fourth of Brazil two
thousand twenty, without winning by penaltythe fourth four two that David ospina ends
up being the figure. I mean, Gabía Spina who' s not on
the team, but with a Vargastruck who' s responding. But if
(07:08):
he' s on the team,he' s not gonna go to my
ass. Yeah, but there's no Terargar' s team. You
know he was the great figure inthe prisons, especially the most mentioned,
but a team that says memo,has had a renovation. To me I
would like to talk Kevin about oneimportant thing and that is that Uruguay,
moreover, arrives with two crucial casualtiesto this duel. There are not so
many nandes because of the expulsion thatthe party suffers against Brazil Lateral right that
(07:30):
they will have to endure Luis Díaz. Let' s hope that days will
come out smiling in this game.Well Luis Días, that I think another
Panama had a great encounter, butthat we are still waiting for that game
of Luis Díaz determinant and the againstrivals Grandes usually appears as you see that
role of fighting Díaz. I thinkLuis Diaz is going to be determining.
I think in this good Cup it' s kind of sparkled a little bit
(07:56):
more James, but it' skey that Luis Díaz buys himself or it
' s like Brille also for Colombia. Colombia is going to need you for
Luis Díaz of a very good dayfor the semifinal and for an event at
the end. If I believe thesame thing, because in addition to walking
meditation, it is not going tobe rumando lara that are the central women
of the world, that is,they are two casualties in defense, which
are sensitive for a cost in whichColombia, as Kevin says, hopes to
(08:20):
have a lot of attack dynamics.Yes, yes, yes, but I
believe that one of the virtues ofthis Uruguay is precisely that that does not
depend on a player and that whoevercomes out is well replaced by a companion
who happens something similar in Colombia.Remember that yesterday came the version that there
is one of the centrals of Colombiathat is having some physical discomfort, apparently
David Son Sánchez. Then I thinkI do, for example, replace Jerry
(08:43):
Mina beyond the tastes of many people. And all that, I think the
gap wouldn' t feel that much, because one of the virtues these two
teams have is that they have goodreplacements, good replacements. And it'
s just happened. It happened becauseyou saw him talking about slope, but
costa went very well to review itI ate it that it looked like the
fixed, fixed rheo and one saiduy great low. Cuesta has responded and
(09:05):
it has been the other one hadwell the statistic that costs has been of
the players that has played more ballsin this Cup America for Colombia exactly,
exactly, are players that respond.And well, there' s one crucial
thing. We' ve talked alot about James Rodriguez. I believe it
is the creativity of Colombia, thatzone of attack that as it is going
to be fundamental for this party,a party that is going to be fought,
(09:28):
closed and that the half field ofColombia can be very important. Néstor
Lorenzo recently spoke of Jame Rodríguez,just as we have spoken. We wanted
to recover this clip from Néstor Lorenzoat the press conference, because he highlighted
the value of James in this teamand we, speaking of the importance that
James will have in that creative areain the game, wanted to rescue Andresito
(09:48):
this clip from Néstor Lorenzo talking aboutJames Rodriguez at a press conference. A
few days ago. I know himfrom Chiquito, or I know that what
depended on his performance for the selectionwas his commitment to him. I know
(10:15):
the love he has for these colors. That' s why it hurt so
much when I was being criticized.Not so much and good. So trust
him, because he knew that hiscommitment to the elections he supreme and that
he was going to show his conditionsand regarding the age of twenty- two
(10:35):
at thirty- two, suddenly nowhe runs less and thinks more too and
that helps him too and he hasa team in a context that surrounds him
well, that gives him alternatives tohis game, and that' s a
(10:56):
little what' s making him playwell, too, very well. I
didn' t want to start,I mean, after listening to our organ.
I wanted to start with you,because you' re, like,
that myth, that legend that JamesRodriguez didn' t run much. But
I remember some statements by Carlo ancheLotti, who always did a lot of
Real Madrid, where he had italso in Everton, if I am not
bad, and he always highlighted thecommitment James Rodríguez to the James Rodríguez team
(11:20):
is differential in those physical factors asa player in creativity, when he is
in tune with the team that surroundshim yes, that I do not have
to say. That' s proven. The theme with James has always been,
I think, extra football. We' ve always criticized him much more
about what' s going on withhim off the court than what' s
(11:41):
going on inside. Even now inSão Paulo he did not play much,
but when he played he made adifference fifteen minutes and did two or three
things that the other companions did notdo. Now, since we' re
on a honeymoon with Lorenzo, thenwe all value everything. But a year
and a half ago, when Lorenzocalled him James he didn' t play,
(12:01):
people also gave Lorenzo a stick andsaid to screw him why they brought
a player who was usually playing uswith his club. And all that,
and I think that' s avery big bet that won us all,
because most people in this country saidJames is a failure, he' s
retired, since he doesn' tplay anymore and the guy saw in it
(12:22):
or kept believing in his talent inwhat he could contribute to the selection,
beyond that James, whenever he hascome to the selection, to surrender.
So the man played it for Jamesand I think that today what James is
doing is giving him back that trusthe gave him with results and with great
actors, if he has already highlightedhim as one of the great players of
the America Cup. But also,against Uruguay, James Rodriguez are always great
(12:46):
parties. If before I go withthat I think that if I agree very
much with what I did, Imemo and is that one of the virtues
of our Lorenzo has been to recoverthat great James from working the team the
mentality that was somehow what Pakerman didat the time. Not then did they
last long enough with them. Hemade his debut for Adams in that two
(13:09):
thousand eleven, too. Then Ithink that' s a good job.
He does not know and we havementioned it even in the previous we recorded
Rondes Bone of the goal snail,of the role Demés for one thing that
seems essential to me and that isthat they even said that in the dressing
room the teammates of the selection nolonger supported James Rodríguez, Yes Kevin and
there was a change of hand ofNéstor Lorenzo that with a great handling of
(13:33):
group that are values that gives thecoincidence that one attributes much to cabonche Lot
of José, but to Josékerman andnow nestor Lorenzo, the coaches with which
he has best surrendered James Rodriguez.They are attributes that have their coaches and
that this time in our Lorenzo hasalso been recovering that group. And I
think a sample of that was thatviral image of Luis Diaz crowning James.
(13:54):
I think that' s one ofthe weeks in the America Cup and now
it is against Uruguay and James,five games wins, two defeats, a
draw, three goals and three assists. But I believe that specifically in tomorrow
' s game will be more importantLuis Díaz millionaires for the Uruguayan scheme,
so that will be closed the gamethat the same javes that he will continue
(14:16):
to contribute with his geniuses, withhis deep passes, with his charges of
ball stopped. But I think thatthe key to the party for Colombia is
going to be how brilliant Luis Díazand Llonarias are to unbalance the defense,
because we have to break the gangs. Memo, you have to open the
courts, the court, but inthat game it is also important ja yes
(14:39):
cla Baron. That' s whyI think it' s also going to
be fundamental, it' s goingto be very physical, not much of
a blow, a fia party,party for Lerma also important. If you
come back, look at how wewere all talking about the big loss that
was going to be Lerma, butMateus came in and the team' s
functioning. Beyond Mateus, the operationof the team. He was not affected
(15:00):
by the blade of the derman althoughit must be said that he was a
minor rival. He was a minorrival, but Colombia behaved. How it
is as a compliment. Uruguay,too, let us analyse. I also
wanted to analyze that payroll a little, because Ugarte has been one of the
best players in this phenomenal Five Cupand, in addition, was green in
that area of the half we werehighlighting. I mean, he has a
(15:24):
team with very good weapons, asthey stood out. Uruguay historically has always
had a lot of player in thatbox abox, not that steering wheel that
marks, but that also usually reachesgoal position or, at least with its
momentum drives the team. The teampushes from behind one to Uruguay can never
underestimate it, because if any conditionhas Uruguayans it is that, besides the
(15:48):
good football that they normally practice,when it is put on that celestial shirt,
they also give a plus, whichis what I see that is appearing
in Colombia. We' re theColombian footballer is starting to give that over
one hundred and ten percent when hewears the yellow shirt. The Uruguayans have
always had that, and I thinkhe was suddenly a more acsequitable rival Brazil
(16:11):
Futbolistically speaking than Uruguay, because theUruguayan to Uruguay has to kill them exactly
the Brazilian, sometimes he also relaxes. And it' s all more of
our mentality. The Uruguayan is theGerman of Acábe, he is the frinsador,
the scha su frin knows But whatnot, because, with that definition
(16:32):
of penal, But Uruguay, Brazil, because Colombia did not suffer against Fanamá,
No, No, No, Ifobvious clear, Uruguay, Brazil saw
that image of the punishments of theBrazilian technician out of the round. Yeah,
then I' ll take one place. It is very easy to criticize
the situation and draw conclusions if onedoes not know the entrail, the entrant
of the group. There are coacheswho already have that with their square assistants
(16:55):
and one of the assistants is theone who takes the voice. Yeah,
it' s funny that coach outof the rondo and all that, when
on the other side I saw theknow who' s talking. But I
think it' s a situation thatwe give too many of too much importance
to, because Brazil and the penaltiesmay have won and that' s okay
they say then no one would betalking about that coach, nobody spoke to
(17:18):
him, but Brazil semifinalist. Yes, well, but so too, so
I give left that image of jnirseeing the word conclusions also about this party
of Colombia. You dare to castoff some result. We used to say
that I' m the man withthe flaws, the gamblers, but you
see that game. Also Colombia Uruguayparty closed. I think it' s
(17:41):
going to be a very close game. I don' t think they'
re going to prison. I don' t buy it I think both teams
are gonna mark that. Yes,I think I' m going with a
two- one in favor of Colombia, who doesn' t like to see
these predictions. No. I dosee it closed and I see it that,
because perfectly it can stay the matchtied and you can go to the
(18:03):
launches from the penalty point. I, if I see it, don'
t see a favorite clearing. Andthat is precisely why I insist on the
issue that Colombia can be eliminated inthe face of Uruguay. And it doesn
' t mean he made a badAmerica Cup. And it doesn' t
mean that the process has to changewhat, that you have to keep adjusting
things, like even the coach andthe players say it. But, well,
(18:23):
it' s definitely a reserved forecastgame. Memo, the technician from
Colombia, Né Estor Lorenzo, alwayssaid that the first goal of Colombiana danara
Copa América, that for that Iplayed. But in recent times he told
us that the great project of theselection is the World Cup of two thousand
and twenty- six. The thingis, we' re very radical here.
So, when a coach says we' re going to go make a
(18:45):
good America Cup, we insist onit, but it' s making a
good America Cup, because they wantme to say that he wants to be
champion, because if the guy doesn' t say that he has the goal
of being champion, ah he lacksvision, that we are conformists they have.
I believe that all these goals arealways being set according to how the
tournament is being done. Yes,of course, everyone comes with the intention
(19:06):
of getting to play the six gamesand reach the final match, the last
one, and I think Colombia understoodthat this is a great opportunity to be
champion of America outside the country.Yeah, because he' s got football
and he' s got the conditionto do it. Now it is not
guaranteed that he will do it,because, even surpassing Uruguay and against a
seemingly weaker Argentina, Argentina is stillthe art champion, the champion very champion
(19:30):
of the world and arrives with lionelMessi in which it will possibly be his
last Copa América, which in Colombiaseeks his third final of Copa América,
after the seventy- five that ofthe two thousand one that won. But
there' s reason to be excitedabout that title. Not sure, everyone
' s excited. Yes, everyoneand on the continent, Colombia is a
(19:51):
team that that much trust. IfI have also seen many Argentine comments,
Chilean Uruguayans who rival harder is Colombia. Yeah, he' s considered that
way. There is an interesting topicin this duel Brazil Uruguay, which also
raised Marcelo Bielsa and which has beentalked about a lot, the difference between
South American football and European football.Obviously, we are also in the times
(20:15):
of Eurocup and it has come tothe attention because many praised each other.
Memo, the theme of the EuroCup, the great game of the Euro
Cup, as the disrepute in contemptof the America Cup, and well,
it would have to be analyzed.We will, but we also want to
rescue Andresito who helps us behind thecontrols. Marcelo Bielsa' s clip at
a press conference. I think thatbefore the game with Brazil, in which
(20:38):
I spoke precisely about those formations ofthe old South American football at the level
of clubs and how the panorama haschanged now with the great stars of football
of America that are playing in Europeand that we want to rescue it to
open that discussion between South American footballand European football. Hi Te reminds you
(20:59):
of the way St Paul was andwith a monumental coach and a training of
all Brazilian team players playing in localfootball. Then look what happened to poor
South American football. I have abad memory, but surely you will know
(21:26):
that there played Root Antonio, Carlos, Ronaldo Kafu, all Painted, evanilso
Lin who Miller were your European players. But before they went to Europe they
played two finals of Copa Libertadores.So imagine what happened to football? Like
(21:56):
football? What is popular property?Football is essentially popular property because it is
popular property because the poor have verylittle ability to access happiness, because they
do not have money to buy happiness. So football, as it is free,
(22:18):
is of popular origin. So thatfootball, which is one of the
few things that the poorest maintain horizontally, they no longer have because at the
age of seventeen Endrix, Endrix,the windel Palmeira. Well all that'
(22:48):
s too bad I have to tellyou that you' re going to bring
me nothing but criticism and that youwho imagine you alien to the business.
If I didn' t ask thequestion, Grandpa, it' s part
of the business, and he getsme, because I think if there'
(23:11):
s one thing that should be avoidedis that the media listens to the amplified
voice, which means what we circumstantiallyhave public repercussion. Precisely this clarification of
biel knew he ended up saying theweek that I have to say it not
(23:32):
to bring consequences, already raises severalcriticisms, because, in addition to this
small clip that we saw later,he makes an even sharper criticism of the
media and what we could also interpretas an complicity that Bielsa says with these
changes in football and the little denunciationthat there is not seen, but it
seems to me that he points toone important thing, and it is the
(23:53):
change in South American football that happensin the last decades, with that flight
of stars to European football, Europeanfootball wins caprates, he won great stars
in great teams. Obviously, SouthAmerican football loses a little of its talent
or a talent that quickly goes outside. And that would also talk about that
South American football crisis. Or howyou interpret it. No, I interpret
(24:17):
it as the reality of football,the reality of the world, of business.
This is true even in South America, with small companies and large companies.
Every worker wants to aspire to alarge company. Every footballer aspires to
reach the big leagues, which isthe ones that moves the money. And
I think it' s basically thedynamic. Marcelo Bielsa collects what he charges
(24:40):
and earns what he earns by thatvery dynamic of international football, of world
football, then it is an obvioustruth against which it is difficult to take
action, because there is a greattruth and it is that he says football
is popular. Ro in the feeling. But if we' re going to
see who goes to the football WorldCups, to the football World Cups,
(25:02):
to the people who have to paya month' s rent, to pay
expensive tickets and to pay expensive tickets, and who are the ones who buy
most of the tickets, the bigsponsors, those firms that take their executives
who never go to football, butwho go to the end of the world
championship and everything and in struggle thatgoes every eight days can' t,
(25:22):
then basically, that' s thedynamic with how painful it can do.
But and to that must be addedother aspects, such as, for example,
not only the market, but thestage conditions look as even in the
United States there has been a greatcontroversy because the stadiums are made for football
and baseball and that alcoal and notto play football. They are both programmed
differently, because it is face tothe ballot, which was what you also
(25:42):
said clear and who likes immigrants andgood, I also say that it signals
a great truth is that football isbeing privatized, that is to say,
he is also talking about that gapis shrinking more and more and that that
gap did not exist. And youthink that that level of South American football,
that is, of the America Cup, has been, let' s
(26:03):
say, so distant from that ofthe Euro Cup or as you see it,
so, let' s say atselection level. Not so much because
the great South American stars are theones that shine in Europe. No,
we have Luis Diaz, Darwin Núñez. Yes, obviously, well, before
we had Messi, but the exactbeginnings, Vinis is that the world,
for me now sees us so muchbecause I do believe that in this Cup
(26:26):
the South American teams have had alot of intensity. Exactly. Yes,
there are other America Cups where yousee them walking much more from Colombia.
Of course, in Colombia it isa team that plays with a lot of
intensity, obviously in the ninety minutes. But if there are several moments of
the party in which it presses towardhigh pressure and demonstrates intensity. That didn
' t happen then. I thinkthat has also meant that today we do
(26:48):
not notice that gap so much.But, for example, there was a
lot of talk when the Euro Cupbegan, which weighed a few weeks before
the Euro America, about the brutallevel of Europe and the game and the
truth I have seen, that is, you don' t let me lie.
The teams that are called to befavorites that France, England, are
small teams that offer us many,i e memo and teach one thing that
(27:12):
I find very interesting is the intensityin the game, that is, very
speculative teams. But those teams arethe great favorites of the America Cup.
Nor is it that they have showna game is capsular and that is what
we saw also last week, notwith the quarterfinals let' s say that
match between Portugal and France. ButI do think there is. It has
(27:36):
to see the fact that the CopaAmérica is played at the end of the
season and most players the Copa Abrica, in the Copa América and the Eurocopalo
yes, yes, and many placesarrive quite, physically, quite beaten.
See, for example, from Englandto England watching professional players that at the
seventy minutes, if you throw themand sanded them, physically because they come
(28:00):
from a season that has been quitedemanding and in their clubs many times because
Real Madrid, for example, untilthe final of the champions is mid-
to- late May. Yes,with a very high intensity and all that
they had just one week, twoweeks for physical reconditioning, because it was
not even rest and again the highdemand. I think that, that they
(28:21):
' re paying the consequences of everything. And if we talk about these,
we' re already talking about theAmerica Cup, that is, Argentina,
Canada. On the one hand,I think the favorite is Argentina, Urugua
and Colombia. Well, boy,it' s a closed duel. But
speaking of the Euro Cup that yousee of the four teams, Spain,
that will face France, England,that will face the Netherlands, who you
(28:41):
see best, according to your opinion. Well, according to more than my
opinion, I think that more thanwhat they have done in the Cup and
let' s say today' sgreat let' s say, the favorite
is Spain, for what it hasdone, then it arrives here at the
game, because five victories out offive possible, if the only one who
(29:03):
has won all the acts his forthe death group. He beat Georgia and
well I had the pleasure of withdrawingCross, not if I beat Germany,
to withdraw Tony Cross. If Ibelieve that Spain is the one that showed
the best game so far, perhapsthe Netherlands is the other that has not
shown great game, but it arriveswith results and solvents. Yes, but
without a doubt if we have onlywhat has happened in Europe, one would
(29:26):
say Spain has to be champion,but it turns out that France comes from
being world champion, from being worldrunner- up. It is a team
that is mature that probably in agame like today, could get that caste,
from that hierarchy that is suddenly whatis missing a little bit from this
Spanish team, that is very youngand that has an immense future, because
that is why neither one would dareto say that it will win from Brown
Sobra Spain and the other the othersemi yes clear. I think the Netherlands,
(29:52):
apparently, is a little bit favorite, because especially in England it has
played very badly. But I alsosee that there are many people who want
England to go to sea, notEngland to do well, because there is
some romanticism, with which they arethe parents of football, with which they
will win it, with which itis time for them to win again,
(30:14):
because I think that would give ita boost and also because we want it
or. They don' t havethe best league in the world, which
is the Premier and there are alot of people who follow the Premier and
follow players. Then I think evenfor the premier it would also be a
big backlash that the selection will finallywin something. And besides, Jut Bellingham
' s figure, Yes, afterfifty- eight years without winning, Jut
Bellingham, who looks to me likea good player, but is not the
(30:36):
galactic, the super extraordinary player whohave shown good, but is a good
player who has defined, because heis a good definer. He' s
in the right place at the righttime, but I don' t think
he has, for example, theimbalance other players have that he doesn'
t pull out, for example,England, for example. Yeah, for
example, ob what' s goingon with Bellingham. It has been seen
(30:56):
a lot this season that in themost determined moments before the season of Real
Madrid, appears the man appeared againstlugo as if he had played for the
wand. Go be that Chilean rte, then yes. Sure. Obviously,
that gives you a. Let's say to compare in Madrid the two
classics I won with goal of Bellinghamin the last ones. That' s
why I say he' s agood player, but he' s not
(31:17):
the extraordinary magician. I think thereare other players who are more decisive and
who are more unbalanced, for example, at specific times. And if you
guys score Bellingham pot, except Chalaca' s, it' s just that
she' s standing there. Butwhether it' s a great virtue or
not it' s a great virtuthat you' re in line with,
(31:37):
you can' t do that inthat instance with England, that' s
being eliminated and bay sent by aChilean. I think that in that golden
ball race, that many also speculatewas let' s say a little Vinicius
Cross Benham, because Benlinham, ifit passes to the green final, more
than happens not Messi, well,Messi voca. That' s gonna depend
on the results. I' llsee if I don' t see him
this year. But it does definea lot what the last decade was,
(32:04):
because it was clear that Ronaldo andMessi were players who were above each other.
Probably at some point they were equatedand Lewandowski when eight were already in
the World Cup, and that intwo thousand. But I don' t
think there' s a player todaythat you see and say uf. This
guy' s wonderful because he's got ups and downs, for example,
(32:27):
embape, which is what we allsaid he was the successor. Jalan
is a definer, but so farhe is still very good and very valuable.
Then I race for the gold ball. I believe that it will also
be determined according to what happens rightnow in the semi- finals of both
America and Europe. I think we' re as used to what Christian and
Messi were doing now as we're getting back to normal. It'
(32:52):
s like the truth is very high, exactly and the two of us already
in this European America Cup, whichare already saying goodbye. We are going
to face this last stretch also ofthis sporting forum, also mentioning something very
important, and is that this weekendsports independent Cali Santa Fe, good independent
of Santa Fe, has already achievedit, but defined the finalists of the
Women' s League. I remembertalking about a Santa Fe, a Cali
(33:15):
that, along with America, arethe three major processes of the Women'
s League that emerged at the endof the last decade. But those three
teams are the ones that have hadthe best project and those that, yes
or yes, happen. What happensfinally is always with the three who arrive
at these definitive stages. Yes andI want to appreciate very much the process
that has had independent Santa Fe,such as the first professional male and professional
(33:38):
female football champion, and I thinkit has faced the process of the ball
iee played by women, as itshould be, with the necessary seriousness,
with the necessary support, with thenecessary process, beyond that it has had
coach changes, payroll changes, changesof directors, but I think it has
been like a constancy in Santa Feto support the full female and that,
(34:01):
obviously, is giving results. Hecan become the tetra champion, the first
presumptuous Colombian football champion. He hasnot yet achieved that title internationally, but
he has had good presentations and itis clear that in the valley they understood
that this was the way and bothDeportivo Cali and América winning titles, have
also followed that process. It seemsto me that, for example, teams
(34:23):
like millionaires understood that this is theway to do it national, athletic,
national also that made good campaign andI think that as long as those big
teams start doing it, follow inthe footsteps of Santa Fe. It will
be more competitive to our league andthat, obviously, will result in the
best level of our selections and inthe best conditions for our footballers. A
(34:46):
Cali ade more than well that qualifiedto the final in a rather closed group,
that is, Santa Fe, lendsthe consolvencia, but Calli a more
closed group. Of course, thatwas defined Sunday if we had goal what
had happened in the group that surprisinglyfell, was born national, so said
(35:07):
Memoky are Dar and in the endfell. But then Cali overcame a group
with America Well, very close,which was this weekend' s game,
and a millionaire who was ready.Yeah, I think what Millonarios did this
year, because not even semester thisyear is to take seriously what the team
(35:28):
had been asked for more than twentyrecruitments, to bring a technical body specialized
in women' s soccer crang andvega to the front. I think it
was very valuable what was done,that was taken seriously and well, million
was left out for a goal against. I want to make a wake-
up call to hobbies anyway. Yes, because people always complain that there is
(35:55):
no support, that there are evenno sponsorships and all that, but they
don' t see that the stadiumsaren' t exactly attending either. So,
well, we' re all committedto female football. Ready to pay
the boletica that is also very cheap, thirty and go to the women'
s football games, because not onlyif it tries to tell you that the
media help and that the major getsthe sponsors, but also that the hobby
(36:16):
is wearing the women' s soccershirt and that push that is the one
that is going to be fundamental forthe sponsors to realize that really, if
it is drawing attention and that itis worth it, it is supporting And
and eye that you should not letgo either of the wholesale that the final
is defined this Sunday, the twofinalists and the final is going to be
(36:38):
played more than a month later,Almost a month later for topics of preparation
of the sub- 20 World,for topics that also intersect the Olympic Games
and the finalists will have to waitalmost a month to play that definition by
the narrow. Those are the detailsthat make people feel that women' s
football is being attacked. Agreement,when it is not planned, when it
(37:00):
is not taken into account when measuresare not taken in time to tie up
this type of guando. How manyyears ago Colombia was obviously going to fight
the Olympics and the World Cup submente. We also wanted to end this part
of the Olympics. Memo, becauseit is also what comes to us the
women' s team that defined thepayroll that will play Paris two thousand twenty
(37:22):
- four, a payroll of thebase very solid, that maintains from the
World Cup with very important players thatI think you have there already prepared the
payroll and andresito will also show usthe players that are summoned. And that
' s what' s coming tous in less than a month than ten
days, Colombia' s debut againstFrance, in ten of me a little
(37:45):
more than fifteen in Paris. I' m a little worried that we'
re putting a pretty big weight onthe girls on this team. I think
it' s a team that hashow to fight, even though it'
s in a pretty tough group.I think he can move forward, he
can fight, but here we alreadywant the Puxims, which is that he
(38:06):
has to be a medalist, andit turns out that being a medalist in
some Olympics is quite complicated. Look, he made a Grand World in two
thousand twenty- three, but hestill made it to quarterfinals, where he
met England. So, to getto a fight for a medal, you
have to be in the top four. They have to get to semifinals that
' s not a simple thing.Even getting to rooms would be a very
(38:27):
good performance, but, as wealready put them the sign that you have
to be a medalist, the weightthat they have to be a medalist.
For now the Olympics are a competitionthat also has different characteristics. The girls
are going to be in the Olympicvillage, they' re going to be
with other players, there' sgoing to be distractions that aren' t
(38:49):
about being professional or not, butit' s impossible that they don'
t feel it, because you've never been Some in an Olympic villa
don' t know what it's like to live with other stars in
other sports and that' s whatthe Olympic Games are all about. There
' s only the competition. SoI don' t know if Pcolonia is
really that favorite. But they're equally focused mos players and they come
from clear processes and they' refocused players and all that. But the
(39:13):
centered player and all that. Yousee that next door the basketball players and
the team from the United States arepassing through the village and all that,
because they' re going to wantto take it together with them and all
that and and those things distract ifI don' t know why I tell
you that the Olympics are not justabout what the competition is as such,
and then they lose a game,so let' s say it' s
not that they were. He wentto eat and to walk and to the
(39:35):
villa and all that and not tothe competition, when we all know that
surely if they are very concentrated,because they are professionals and because they already
have the necessary maturity to understand whatthey go to the games in Paris.
Yeah, you have the payroll thereto remind her that if you say andresito
there to finish showing it. Eighteenplayers plus four alternates. Come on,

Friends, friends of the spectator,welcome to a new chapter of sports platform
expectant with the semifinals of the EuroCup that begin today with Spain and France,
and also, of course, thestart of the semifinals of the Copa
América, which will begin with Argentinaand Canada. The Spanish and French duel
at two o' clock and thatof Canada against Argentina at seven o'
(00:27):
clock today of a lot of soccer, because in addition to debut to falcao
garcía millionaires against river Plate, theteam that emerged, the team that was
made in which he became professional inArgentina and that also gave it to show
the world. Even the best screenwriterwould not have prepared that premiere of millionaires
(00:48):
falcado, but what is brought toour attention, all the spotlights is the
game of the Colombian team against Uruguay, which will play in the semifinals of
the Copa América tomorrow Wednesday at seveno' clock in the night, with
transmission of the goal Caracol, Colombiacomes from a brilliant match against Panama,
five zero. A match was expectedthat would be easy, but we will
see against Uruguay, a much moreclosed match and a forecast difficult to predict.
(01:12):
Don Luis Guillermo Ordoñez, a regularof this table, welcome to the
sports gallery. And how to seethat game against Uruguay. Two teams in
theory, you will tell me,but two teams that play similar with offensive
decisions, fast, with a gamemodel especially very dynamic. But perhaps Uruguay
with more claw, with more determinationat the time of defensive moments and a
(01:37):
Colombia that is perhaps characterized by agreater possiion of the ball. You see
that semifinal duel with Colombia looking forthe final of the Copa América. Hi
Fernando, how nice to all thefriends of the spectator of a great greeting
man. I really think the AmericaCup for Colombia starts tomorrow. Beyond all
the good he has done in thesefirst presentations, it really depends on the
(02:00):
ability to say that he made agood Copa América or a discrete Copa América
Paraguay, Costa Rica, Panama arerivals to those that Colombia should normally beat
them. The game with Brazil wasa bit atypical, because Colombia was already
classified, beyond the fact that itcommissioned it with the seriousness it required to
(02:23):
be the first, but without adoubt the crusaders are the most important matches
in this type of tournaments. Solet' s say that all the good
that has been done must be corroboratedin front of Uruguay. I think Colombia
has football, it has football maturityand it has the work to do it,
but obviously, it will not beeasy against one of the teams that
(02:45):
has done the best things in thisCopa América and that brings an important process
also very similar to that of Colombia, they under the command of Marcelo Bielsa,
to us with Néstor Lorenzo. Ithink it' s definitely a reserved
forecast game. There' s away to fight it, but it wouldn
' t be weird for Uruguay towin it too in a tight way.
(03:07):
Two similar processes with two Argentine technicianswho started almost at the same time and
who are going in the same directionvery well in the eliminatory. I expected
her before the Copa América that thiswould be the duel, at least for
Colombia, if six more months hasthe process of Nestor Lorenzo. But also
notice that in both have tried tomake renewal, of course with some players
(03:29):
of the old Guard. But theyhave greatly renewed the Uruguay campus after a
world championship that was, let's say, rather discreet in tasting us
without having been able to go tothat date. But they are processes that
have many, many similarities and,above all, something that is the credibility
that the two coaches have generated throughoutthe football environment. Look, that'
(03:53):
s very important in Colombia. Fewtimes the whole country is united around the
selection and thinking pulling for the sameside. I believe that with Lorenzo that
has been achieved, as happened inthe first stage with Beckerman and obviously,
in Uruguay people believe very much Bielsa. They' re convinced of the project
and they' re all pulling onthe same side. Well, at this
memo table is a regular, buttoday Buta' s that in quintero de
(04:15):
Butafa, Alcoby millionaires and U deButan, tigers are Butako' s tigers
in quintero, here, in quinteroand Ramirez that in quintero de Butar in
Paris. Don Kevin also talk aboutyou, who is a more folkloric football
man who likes the subject of fans. Uruguay is a rival to which Colombia
(04:36):
has the retina of recent duels.Of course he remembers the duel with James
as a protagonist, as a protagonistin Brazil two thousand fourteen and in the
qualifiers in the last Copa América,that to speak of that historical transcendence that
this duel has in the Copa isa fairly recurring duel. The first duel
(04:56):
between Colombia and Uruguay ended with aseven to zero in favor of Uruguay Copa
America, as the history of Uruguayweighs exactly, exactly and well in forty
- four games, since twenty victoriesfor Uruguay, barely twelve for Colombia and
two draws that we can also drawfrom those numbers. There you go.
(05:17):
I believe that statistical memos favor Uruguayhistorically. Yes, it is a team
that arrives with fifteen cups America,obviously twice champion in the world, but
in recent times Colombia has also beenup to those owners, because I have
always thought that the numbers do notlie, but the present neither. That
is the present today is different Ais to that historical statistic that indicates that
(05:41):
then we would not have to play, because Uruguay pays nothing. However,
it weighs on us, probably playingagainst Uruguay, against Argentina and against Brazil
is a classic. For them.We' re not classic. Playing against
Colombia is not a classic why,because of that story. But if we
' re just going to talk aboutthe present today, I think this is
an advanced ending for what has beenseen without demeaning Argentina. Of course,
(06:04):
Argentina is Argentina, but for whatthey have shown in this America Cup.
Uruguay and Colombia have been the teamsthat have played football best in this.
Considering that memo Kevin says, Colombiaarrives with the best records, America soup
scorers, with eleven goals, barelytwo awarded, but Uruguay arrives with nine
and one conceis In other words,yes, they are very similar. They
(06:27):
are not two teams that in LatinAmerica have played very accurately. I think
it' s a very, veryeven semifinal and I think it' s
the duel that many of us arehoping that somehow or other it' s
going to take place and that goodis that it also has its history in
Copa América, which has been eleventimes, six victories for Uruguay, three
for Colombia, two draws. That' s right, in direct elimination,
(06:47):
it' s been better for us. Yes, yes, yes, because
it has been played five times withthree wins for Colombia and two for Uruguay,
and the last in Copa América wasthat in the fourth of Brazil two
thousand twenty, without winning by penaltythe fourth four two that David ospina ends
up being the figure. I mean, Gabía Spina who' s not on
the team, but with a Vargastruck who' s responding. But if
(07:08):
he' s on the team,he' s not gonna go to my
ass. Yeah, but there's no Terargar' s team. You
know he was the great figure inthe prisons, especially the most mentioned,
but a team that says memo,has had a renovation. To me I
would like to talk Kevin about oneimportant thing and that is that Uruguay,
moreover, arrives with two crucial casualtiesto this duel. There are not so
many nandes because of the expulsion thatthe party suffers against Brazil Lateral right that
(07:30):
they will have to endure Luis Díaz. Let' s hope that days will
come out smiling in this game.Well Luis Días, that I think another
Panama had a great encounter, butthat we are still waiting for that game
of Luis Díaz determinant and the againstrivals Grandes usually appears as you see that
role of fighting Díaz. I thinkLuis Diaz is going to be determining.
I think in this good Cup it' s kind of sparkled a little bit
(07:56):
more James, but it' skey that Luis Díaz buys himself or it
' s like Brille also for Colombia. Colombia is going to need you for
Luis Díaz of a very good dayfor the semifinal and for an event at
the end. If I believe thesame thing, because in addition to walking
meditation, it is not going tobe rumando lara that are the central women
of the world, that is,they are two casualties in defense, which
are sensitive for a cost in whichColombia, as Kevin says, hopes to
(08:20):
have a lot of attack dynamics.Yes, yes, yes, but I
believe that one of the virtues ofthis Uruguay is precisely that that does not
depend on a player and that whoevercomes out is well replaced by a companion
who happens something similar in Colombia.Remember that yesterday came the version that there
is one of the centrals of Colombiathat is having some physical discomfort, apparently
David Son Sánchez. Then I thinkI do, for example, replace Jerry
(08:43):
Mina beyond the tastes of many people. And all that, I think the
gap wouldn' t feel that much, because one of the virtues these two
teams have is that they have goodreplacements, good replacements. And it'
s just happened. It happened becauseyou saw him talking about slope, but
costa went very well to review itI ate it that it looked like the
fixed, fixed rheo and one saiduy great low. Cuesta has responded and
(09:05):
it has been the other one hadwell the statistic that costs has been of
the players that has played more ballsin this Cup America for Colombia exactly,
exactly, are players that respond.And well, there' s one crucial
thing. We' ve talked alot about James Rodriguez. I believe it
is the creativity of Colombia, thatzone of attack that as it is going
to be fundamental for this party,a party that is going to be fought,
(09:28):
closed and that the half field ofColombia can be very important. Néstor
Lorenzo recently spoke of Jame Rodríguez,just as we have spoken. We wanted
to recover this clip from Néstor Lorenzoat the press conference, because he highlighted
the value of James in this teamand we, speaking of the importance that
James will have in that creative areain the game, wanted to rescue Andresito
(09:48):
this clip from Néstor Lorenzo talking aboutJames Rodriguez at a press conference. A
few days ago. I know himfrom Chiquito, or I know that what
depended on his performance for the selectionwas his commitment to him. I know
(10:15):
the love he has for these colors. That' s why it hurt so
much when I was being criticized.Not so much and good. So trust
him, because he knew that hiscommitment to the elections he supreme and that
he was going to show his conditionsand regarding the age of twenty- two
(10:35):
at thirty- two, suddenly nowhe runs less and thinks more too and
that helps him too and he hasa team in a context that surrounds him
well, that gives him alternatives tohis game, and that' s a
(10:56):
little what' s making him playwell, too, very well. I
didn' t want to start,I mean, after listening to our organ.
I wanted to start with you,because you' re, like,
that myth, that legend that JamesRodriguez didn' t run much. But
I remember some statements by Carlo ancheLotti, who always did a lot of
Real Madrid, where he had italso in Everton, if I am not
bad, and he always highlighted thecommitment James Rodríguez to the James Rodríguez team
(11:20):
is differential in those physical factors asa player in creativity, when he is
in tune with the team that surroundshim yes, that I do not have
to say. That' s proven. The theme with James has always been,
I think, extra football. We' ve always criticized him much more
about what' s going on withhim off the court than what' s
(11:41):
going on inside. Even now inSão Paulo he did not play much,
but when he played he made adifference fifteen minutes and did two or three
things that the other companions did notdo. Now, since we' re
on a honeymoon with Lorenzo, thenwe all value everything. But a year
and a half ago, when Lorenzocalled him James he didn' t play,
(12:01):
people also gave Lorenzo a stick andsaid to screw him why they brought
a player who was usually playing uswith his club. And all that,
and I think that' s avery big bet that won us all,
because most people in this country saidJames is a failure, he' s
retired, since he doesn' tplay anymore and the guy saw in it
(12:22):
or kept believing in his talent inwhat he could contribute to the selection,
beyond that James, whenever he hascome to the selection, to surrender.
So the man played it for Jamesand I think that today what James is
doing is giving him back that trusthe gave him with results and with great
actors, if he has already highlightedhim as one of the great players of
the America Cup. But also,against Uruguay, James Rodriguez are always great
(12:46):
parties. If before I go withthat I think that if I agree very
much with what I did, Imemo and is that one of the virtues
of our Lorenzo has been to recoverthat great James from working the team the
mentality that was somehow what Pakerman didat the time. Not then did they
last long enough with them. Hemade his debut for Adams in that two
(13:09):
thousand eleven, too. Then Ithink that' s a good job.
He does not know and we havementioned it even in the previous we recorded
Rondes Bone of the goal snail,of the role Demés for one thing that
seems essential to me and that isthat they even said that in the dressing
room the teammates of the selection nolonger supported James Rodríguez, Yes Kevin and
there was a change of hand ofNéstor Lorenzo that with a great handling of
(13:33):
group that are values that gives thecoincidence that one attributes much to cabonche Lot
of José, but to Josékerman andnow nestor Lorenzo, the coaches with which
he has best surrendered James Rodriguez.They are attributes that have their coaches and
that this time in our Lorenzo hasalso been recovering that group. And I
think a sample of that was thatviral image of Luis Diaz crowning James.
(13:54):
I think that' s one ofthe weeks in the America Cup and now
it is against Uruguay and James,five games wins, two defeats, a
draw, three goals and three assists. But I believe that specifically in tomorrow
' s game will be more importantLuis Díaz millionaires for the Uruguayan scheme,
so that will be closed the gamethat the same javes that he will continue
(14:16):
to contribute with his geniuses, withhis deep passes, with his charges of
ball stopped. But I think thatthe key to the party for Colombia is
going to be how brilliant Luis Díazand Llonarias are to unbalance the defense,
because we have to break the gangs. Memo, you have to open the
courts, the court, but inthat game it is also important ja yes
(14:39):
cla Baron. That' s whyI think it' s also going to
be fundamental, it' s goingto be very physical, not much of
a blow, a fia party,party for Lerma also important. If you
come back, look at how wewere all talking about the big loss that
was going to be Lerma, butMateus came in and the team' s
functioning. Beyond Mateus, the operationof the team. He was not affected
(15:00):
by the blade of the derman althoughit must be said that he was a
minor rival. He was a minorrival, but Colombia behaved. How it
is as a compliment. Uruguay,too, let us analyse. I also
wanted to analyze that payroll a little, because Ugarte has been one of the
best players in this phenomenal Five Cupand, in addition, was green in
that area of the half we werehighlighting. I mean, he has a
(15:24):
team with very good weapons, asthey stood out. Uruguay historically has always
had a lot of player in thatbox abox, not that steering wheel that
marks, but that also usually reachesgoal position or, at least with its
momentum drives the team. The teampushes from behind one to Uruguay can never
underestimate it, because if any conditionhas Uruguayans it is that, besides the
(15:48):
good football that they normally practice,when it is put on that celestial shirt,
they also give a plus, whichis what I see that is appearing
in Colombia. We' re theColombian footballer is starting to give that over
one hundred and ten percent when hewears the yellow shirt. The Uruguayans have
always had that, and I thinkhe was suddenly a more acsequitable rival Brazil
(16:11):
Futbolistically speaking than Uruguay, because theUruguayan to Uruguay has to kill them exactly
the Brazilian, sometimes he also relaxes. And it' s all more of
our mentality. The Uruguayan is theGerman of Acábe, he is the frinsador,
the scha su frin knows But whatnot, because, with that definition
(16:32):
of penal, But Uruguay, Brazil, because Colombia did not suffer against Fanamá,
No, No, No, Ifobvious clear, Uruguay, Brazil saw
that image of the punishments of theBrazilian technician out of the round. Yeah,
then I' ll take one place. It is very easy to criticize
the situation and draw conclusions if onedoes not know the entrail, the entrant
of the group. There are coacheswho already have that with their square assistants
(16:55):
and one of the assistants is theone who takes the voice. Yeah,
it' s funny that coach outof the rondo and all that, when
on the other side I saw theknow who' s talking. But I
think it' s a situation thatwe give too many of too much importance
to, because Brazil and the penaltiesmay have won and that' s okay
they say then no one would betalking about that coach, nobody spoke to
(17:18):
him, but Brazil semifinalist. Yes, well, but so too, so
I give left that image of jnirseeing the word conclusions also about this party
of Colombia. You dare to castoff some result. We used to say
that I' m the man withthe flaws, the gamblers, but you
see that game. Also Colombia Uruguayparty closed. I think it' s
(17:41):
going to be a very close game. I don' t think they'
re going to prison. I don' t buy it I think both teams
are gonna mark that. Yes,I think I' m going with a
two- one in favor of Colombia, who doesn' t like to see
these predictions. No. I dosee it closed and I see it that,
because perfectly it can stay the matchtied and you can go to the
(18:03):
launches from the penalty point. I, if I see it, don'
t see a favorite clearing. Andthat is precisely why I insist on the
issue that Colombia can be eliminated inthe face of Uruguay. And it doesn
' t mean he made a badAmerica Cup. And it doesn' t
mean that the process has to changewhat, that you have to keep adjusting
things, like even the coach andthe players say it. But, well,
(18:23):
it' s definitely a reserved forecastgame. Memo, the technician from
Colombia, Né Estor Lorenzo, alwayssaid that the first goal of Colombiana danara
Copa América, that for that Iplayed. But in recent times he told
us that the great project of theselection is the World Cup of two thousand
and twenty- six. The thingis, we' re very radical here.
So, when a coach says we' re going to go make a
(18:45):
good America Cup, we insist onit, but it' s making a
good America Cup, because they wantme to say that he wants to be
champion, because if the guy doesn' t say that he has the goal
of being champion, ah he lacksvision, that we are conformists they have.
I believe that all these goals arealways being set according to how the
tournament is being done. Yes,of course, everyone comes with the intention
(19:06):
of getting to play the six gamesand reach the final match, the last
one, and I think Colombia understoodthat this is a great opportunity to be
champion of America outside the country.Yeah, because he' s got football
and he' s got the conditionto do it. Now it is not
guaranteed that he will do it,because, even surpassing Uruguay and against a
seemingly weaker Argentina, Argentina is stillthe art champion, the champion very champion
(19:30):
of the world and arrives with lionelMessi in which it will possibly be his
last Copa América, which in Colombiaseeks his third final of Copa América,
after the seventy- five that ofthe two thousand one that won. But
there' s reason to be excitedabout that title. Not sure, everyone
' s excited. Yes, everyoneand on the continent, Colombia is a
(19:51):
team that that much trust. IfI have also seen many Argentine comments,
Chilean Uruguayans who rival harder is Colombia. Yeah, he' s considered that
way. There is an interesting topicin this duel Brazil Uruguay, which also
raised Marcelo Bielsa and which has beentalked about a lot, the difference between
South American football and European football.Obviously, we are also in the times
(20:15):
of Eurocup and it has come tothe attention because many praised each other.
Memo, the theme of the EuroCup, the great game of the Euro
Cup, as the disrepute in contemptof the America Cup, and well,
it would have to be analyzed.We will, but we also want to
rescue Andresito who helps us behind thecontrols. Marcelo Bielsa' s clip at
a press conference. I think thatbefore the game with Brazil, in which
(20:38):
I spoke precisely about those formations ofthe old South American football at the level
of clubs and how the panorama haschanged now with the great stars of football
of America that are playing in Europeand that we want to rescue it to
open that discussion between South American footballand European football. Hi Te reminds you
(20:59):
of the way St Paul was andwith a monumental coach and a training of
all Brazilian team players playing in localfootball. Then look what happened to poor
South American football. I have abad memory, but surely you will know
(21:26):
that there played Root Antonio, Carlos, Ronaldo Kafu, all Painted, evanilso
Lin who Miller were your European players. But before they went to Europe they
played two finals of Copa Libertadores.So imagine what happened to football? Like
(21:56):
football? What is popular property?Football is essentially popular property because it is
popular property because the poor have verylittle ability to access happiness, because they
do not have money to buy happiness. So football, as it is free,
(22:18):
is of popular origin. So thatfootball, which is one of the
few things that the poorest maintain horizontally, they no longer have because at the
age of seventeen Endrix, Endrix,the windel Palmeira. Well all that'
(22:48):
s too bad I have to tellyou that you' re going to bring
me nothing but criticism and that youwho imagine you alien to the business.
If I didn' t ask thequestion, Grandpa, it' s part
of the business, and he getsme, because I think if there'
(23:11):
s one thing that should be avoidedis that the media listens to the amplified
voice, which means what we circumstantiallyhave public repercussion. Precisely this clarification of
biel knew he ended up saying theweek that I have to say it not
(23:32):
to bring consequences, already raises severalcriticisms, because, in addition to this
small clip that we saw later,he makes an even sharper criticism of the
media and what we could also interpretas an complicity that Bielsa says with these
changes in football and the little denunciationthat there is not seen, but it
seems to me that he points toone important thing, and it is the
(23:53):
change in South American football that happensin the last decades, with that flight
of stars to European football, Europeanfootball wins caprates, he won great stars
in great teams. Obviously, SouthAmerican football loses a little of its talent
or a talent that quickly goes outside. And that would also talk about that
South American football crisis. Or howyou interpret it. No, I interpret
(24:17):
it as the reality of football,the reality of the world, of business.
This is true even in South America, with small companies and large companies.
Every worker wants to aspire to alarge company. Every footballer aspires to
reach the big leagues, which isthe ones that moves the money. And
I think it' s basically thedynamic. Marcelo Bielsa collects what he charges
(24:40):
and earns what he earns by thatvery dynamic of international football, of world
football, then it is an obvioustruth against which it is difficult to take
action, because there is a greattruth and it is that he says football
is popular. Ro in the feeling. But if we' re going to
see who goes to the football WorldCups, to the football World Cups,
(25:02):
to the people who have to paya month' s rent, to pay
expensive tickets and to pay expensive tickets, and who are the ones who buy
most of the tickets, the bigsponsors, those firms that take their executives
who never go to football, butwho go to the end of the world
championship and everything and in struggle thatgoes every eight days can' t,
(25:22):
then basically, that' s thedynamic with how painful it can do.
But and to that must be addedother aspects, such as, for example,
not only the market, but thestage conditions look as even in the
United States there has been a greatcontroversy because the stadiums are made for football
and baseball and that alcoal and notto play football. They are both programmed
differently, because it is face tothe ballot, which was what you also
(25:42):
said clear and who likes immigrants andgood, I also say that it signals
a great truth is that football isbeing privatized, that is to say,
he is also talking about that gapis shrinking more and more and that that
gap did not exist. And youthink that that level of South American football,
that is, of the America Cup, has been, let' s
(26:03):
say, so distant from that ofthe Euro Cup or as you see it,
so, let' s say atselection level. Not so much because
the great South American stars are theones that shine in Europe. No,
we have Luis Diaz, Darwin Núñez. Yes, obviously, well, before
we had Messi, but the exactbeginnings, Vinis is that the world,
for me now sees us so muchbecause I do believe that in this Cup
(26:26):
the South American teams have had alot of intensity. Exactly. Yes,
there are other America Cups where yousee them walking much more from Colombia.
Of course, in Colombia it isa team that plays with a lot of
intensity, obviously in the ninety minutes. But if there are several moments of
the party in which it presses towardhigh pressure and demonstrates intensity. That didn
' t happen then. I thinkthat has also meant that today we do
(26:48):
not notice that gap so much.But, for example, there was a
lot of talk when the Euro Cupbegan, which weighed a few weeks before
the Euro America, about the brutallevel of Europe and the game and the
truth I have seen, that is, you don' t let me lie.
The teams that are called to befavorites that France, England, are
small teams that offer us many,i e memo and teach one thing that
(27:12):
I find very interesting is the intensityin the game, that is, very
speculative teams. But those teams arethe great favorites of the America Cup.
Nor is it that they have showna game is capsular and that is what
we saw also last week, notwith the quarterfinals let' s say that
match between Portugal and France. ButI do think there is. It has
(27:36):
to see the fact that the CopaAmérica is played at the end of the
season and most players the Copa Abrica, in the Copa América and the Eurocopalo
yes, yes, and many placesarrive quite, physically, quite beaten.
See, for example, from Englandto England watching professional players that at the
seventy minutes, if you throw themand sanded them, physically because they come
(28:00):
from a season that has been quitedemanding and in their clubs many times because
Real Madrid, for example, untilthe final of the champions is mid-
to- late May. Yes,with a very high intensity and all that
they had just one week, twoweeks for physical reconditioning, because it was
not even rest and again the highdemand. I think that, that they
(28:21):
' re paying the consequences of everything. And if we talk about these,
we' re already talking about theAmerica Cup, that is, Argentina,
Canada. On the one hand,I think the favorite is Argentina, Urugua
and Colombia. Well, boy,it' s a closed duel. But
speaking of the Euro Cup that yousee of the four teams, Spain,
that will face France, England,that will face the Netherlands, who you
(28:41):
see best, according to your opinion. Well, according to more than my
opinion, I think that more thanwhat they have done in the Cup and
let' s say today' sgreat let' s say, the favorite
is Spain, for what it hasdone, then it arrives here at the
game, because five victories out offive possible, if the only one who
(29:03):
has won all the acts his forthe death group. He beat Georgia and
well I had the pleasure of withdrawingCross, not if I beat Germany,
to withdraw Tony Cross. If Ibelieve that Spain is the one that showed
the best game so far, perhapsthe Netherlands is the other that has not
shown great game, but it arriveswith results and solvents. Yes, but
without a doubt if we have onlywhat has happened in Europe, one would
(29:26):
say Spain has to be champion,but it turns out that France comes from
being world champion, from being worldrunner- up. It is a team
that is mature that probably in agame like today, could get that caste,
from that hierarchy that is suddenly whatis missing a little bit from this
Spanish team, that is very youngand that has an immense future, because
that is why neither one would dareto say that it will win from Brown
Sobra Spain and the other the othersemi yes clear. I think the Netherlands,
(29:52):
apparently, is a little bit favorite, because especially in England it has
played very badly. But I alsosee that there are many people who want
England to go to sea, notEngland to do well, because there is
some romanticism, with which they arethe parents of football, with which they
will win it, with which itis time for them to win again,
(30:14):
because I think that would give ita boost and also because we want it
or. They don' t havethe best league in the world, which
is the Premier and there are alot of people who follow the Premier and
follow players. Then I think evenfor the premier it would also be a
big backlash that the selection will finallywin something. And besides, Jut Bellingham
' s figure, Yes, afterfifty- eight years without winning, Jut
Bellingham, who looks to me likea good player, but is not the
(30:36):
galactic, the super extraordinary player whohave shown good, but is a good
player who has defined, because heis a good definer. He' s
in the right place at the righttime, but I don' t think
he has, for example, theimbalance other players have that he doesn'
t pull out, for example,England, for example. Yeah, for
example, ob what' s goingon with Bellingham. It has been seen
(30:56):
a lot this season that in themost determined moments before the season of Real
Madrid, appears the man appeared againstlugo as if he had played for the
wand. Go be that Chilean rte, then yes. Sure. Obviously,
that gives you a. Let's say to compare in Madrid the two
classics I won with goal of Bellinghamin the last ones. That' s
why I say he' s agood player, but he' s not
(31:17):
the extraordinary magician. I think thereare other players who are more decisive and
who are more unbalanced, for example, at specific times. And if you
guys score Bellingham pot, except Chalaca' s, it' s just that
she' s standing there. Butwhether it' s a great virtue or
not it' s a great virtuthat you' re in line with,
(31:37):
you can' t do that inthat instance with England, that' s
being eliminated and bay sent by aChilean. I think that in that golden
ball race, that many also speculatewas let' s say a little Vinicius
Cross Benham, because Benlinham, ifit passes to the green final, more
than happens not Messi, well,Messi voca. That' s gonna depend
on the results. I' llsee if I don' t see him
this year. But it does definea lot what the last decade was,
(32:04):
because it was clear that Ronaldo andMessi were players who were above each other.
Probably at some point they were equatedand Lewandowski when eight were already in
the World Cup, and that intwo thousand. But I don' t
think there' s a player todaythat you see and say uf. This
guy' s wonderful because he's got ups and downs, for example,
(32:27):
embape, which is what we allsaid he was the successor. Jalan
is a definer, but so farhe is still very good and very valuable.
Then I race for the gold ball. I believe that it will also
be determined according to what happens rightnow in the semi- finals of both
America and Europe. I think we' re as used to what Christian and
Messi were doing now as we're getting back to normal. It'
(32:52):
s like the truth is very high, exactly and the two of us already
in this European America Cup, whichare already saying goodbye. We are going
to face this last stretch also ofthis sporting forum, also mentioning something very
important, and is that this weekendsports independent Cali Santa Fe, good independent
of Santa Fe, has already achievedit, but defined the finalists of the
Women' s League. I remembertalking about a Santa Fe, a Cali
(33:15):
that, along with America, arethe three major processes of the Women'
s League that emerged at the endof the last decade. But those three
teams are the ones that have hadthe best project and those that, yes
or yes, happen. What happensfinally is always with the three who arrive
at these definitive stages. Yes andI want to appreciate very much the process
that has had independent Santa Fe,such as the first professional male and professional
(33:38):
female football champion, and I thinkit has faced the process of the ball
iee played by women, as itshould be, with the necessary seriousness,
with the necessary support, with thenecessary process, beyond that it has had
coach changes, payroll changes, changesof directors, but I think it has
been like a constancy in Santa Feto support the full female and that,
(34:01):
obviously, is giving results. Hecan become the tetra champion, the first
presumptuous Colombian football champion. He hasnot yet achieved that title internationally, but
he has had good presentations and itis clear that in the valley they understood
that this was the way and bothDeportivo Cali and América winning titles, have
also followed that process. It seemsto me that, for example, teams
(34:23):
like millionaires understood that this is theway to do it national, athletic,
national also that made good campaign andI think that as long as those big
teams start doing it, follow inthe footsteps of Santa Fe. It will
be more competitive to our league andthat, obviously, will result in the
best level of our selections and inthe best conditions for our footballers. A
(34:46):
Cali ade more than well that qualifiedto the final in a rather closed group,
that is, Santa Fe, lendsthe consolvencia, but Calli a more
closed group. Of course, thatwas defined Sunday if we had goal what
had happened in the group that surprisinglyfell, was born national, so said
(35:07):
Memoky are Dar and in the endfell. But then Cali overcame a group
with America Well, very close,which was this weekend' s game,
and a millionaire who was ready.Yeah, I think what Millonarios did this
year, because not even semester thisyear is to take seriously what the team
(35:28):
had been asked for more than twentyrecruitments, to bring a technical body specialized
in women' s soccer crang andvega to the front. I think it
was very valuable what was done,that was taken seriously and well, million
was left out for a goal against. I want to make a wake-
up call to hobbies anyway. Yes, because people always complain that there is
(35:55):
no support, that there are evenno sponsorships and all that, but they
don' t see that the stadiumsaren' t exactly attending either. So,
well, we' re all committedto female football. Ready to pay
the boletica that is also very cheap, thirty and go to the women'
s football games, because not onlyif it tries to tell you that the
media help and that the major getsthe sponsors, but also that the hobby
(36:16):
is wearing the women' s soccershirt and that push that is the one
that is going to be fundamental forthe sponsors to realize that really, if
it is drawing attention and that itis worth it, it is supporting And
and eye that you should not letgo either of the wholesale that the final
is defined this Sunday, the twofinalists and the final is going to be
(36:38):
played more than a month later,Almost a month later for topics of preparation
of the sub- 20 World,for topics that also intersect the Olympic Games
and the finalists will have to waitalmost a month to play that definition by
the narrow. Those are the detailsthat make people feel that women' s
football is being attacked. Agreement,when it is not planned, when it
(37:00):
is not taken into account when measuresare not taken in time to tie up
this type of guando. How manyyears ago Colombia was obviously going to fight
the Olympics and the World Cup submente. We also wanted to end this part
of the Olympics. Memo, becauseit is also what comes to us the
women' s team that defined thepayroll that will play Paris two thousand twenty
(37:22):
- four, a payroll of thebase very solid, that maintains from the
World Cup with very important players thatI think you have there already prepared the
payroll and andresito will also show usthe players that are summoned. And that
' s what' s coming tous in less than a month than ten
days, Colombia' s debut againstFrance, in ten of me a little
(37:45):
more than fifteen in Paris. I' m a little worried that we'
re putting a pretty big weight onthe girls on this team. I think
it' s a team that hashow to fight, even though it'
s in a pretty tough group.I think he can move forward, he
can fight, but here we alreadywant the Puxims, which is that he
(38:06):
has to be a medalist, andit turns out that being a medalist in
some Olympics is quite complicated. Look, he made a Grand World in two
thousand twenty- three, but hestill made it to quarterfinals, where he
met England. So, to getto a fight for a medal, you
have to be in the top four. They have to get to semifinals that
' s not a simple thing.Even getting to rooms would be a very
(38:27):
good performance, but, as wealready put them the sign that you have
to be a medalist, the weightthat they have to be a medalist.
For now the Olympics are a competitionthat also has different characteristics. The girls
are going to be in the Olympicvillage, they' re going to be
with other players, there' sgoing to be distractions that aren' t
(38:49):
about being professional or not, butit' s impossible that they don'
t feel it, because you've never been Some in an Olympic villa
don' t know what it's like to live with other stars in
other sports and that' s whatthe Olympic Games are all about. There
' s only the competition. SoI don' t know if Pcolonia is
really that favorite. But they're equally focused mos players and they come
from clear processes and they' refocused players and all that. But the
(39:13):
centered player and all that. Yousee that next door the basketball players and
the team from the United States arepassing through the village and all that,
because they' re going to wantto take it together with them and all
that and and those things distract ifI don' t know why I tell
you that the Olympics are not justabout what the competition is as such,
and then they lose a game,so let' s say it' s
not that they were. He wentto eat and to walk and to the
(39:35):
villa and all that and not tothe competition, when we all know that
surely if they are very concentrated,because they are professionals and because they already
have the necessary maturity to understand whatthey go to the games in Paris.
Yeah, you have the payroll thereto remind her that if you say andresito
there to finish showing it. Eighteenplayers plus four alternates. Come on,
