Even this Friday they continue to talk about the Colombia National Team, which closed its year 2021 in the South American Qualifiers for the Qatar 2022 World Cup with a defeat against Brazil, as a visitor, and a draw with Paraguay, in Barranquilla, sowing concern among fans and arousing criticism from the media.
Today the Colombian team is fourth in the table with 17 points and their classification to the next World Cup is not clear at all. Even in the last hours, FIFA confirmed that the repechage will be a single match, in a neutral venue. This topic is of interest to our country.
In this regard, Carlos ‘Pibe’ Valderrama said in an interview with Gol Caracol that “we are going to finish the quarterfinals, that of the playoffs is better to avoid it, it is a risk, besides that it is in a single game, when before it was a game there and another here “.
Here are the statements of ‘Pibe’ Valderrama:
“I think that in the Colombian National Team they don’t have patience, there is no tranquility. Drawing conclusions, it must be said that there are good players, we lack a team. I don’t remember repeated lineups, in every game there are changes, the coach has difficulty finding the team. “
“It is true, we are classified, but we lack football, there is good players who are in the national team, who do not take abroad because they have green eyes, yellow hair … The coach (Reinaldo Rueda) is looking for the team, they are not going to take him out, they are not going to commit that outrage. We are in the World Cup, we are in the quarterfinals, that playoff match is brave, we must avoid that match. ”
“What is coming is brave. Peru is involved, it hit, he started winning and winning. Argentina is complicated, I think they have 26 undefeated games. Bolivia began to win, that is the problem and Venezuela, eliminated. But Venezuela is the classic, I want us not to define the classification there. But I have faith that we are going to classify. “
