“We experienced Colombia in the Copa América, 1-1 in the 90s. They are very brave, they have players at a high level, just like us, but we play at home, in Córdoba. We want to give the people a joy and we are going to go for the three points”, commented the Argentine goalkeeper in statements published by the social networks of the Argentine National Team.
If you are a starter at Mario Alberto Kempes, It will be Dibu’s third appearance against the Tricolor, well He was also under the three sticks in the tie at two in Barranquilla for Qualifiers before the Copa América. However, he was only on the court for 40 minutes after the blow suffered in a clash with Mina that forced him to be replaced, leaving his place to Agustín Marchesín.
