Betting on experience would be Reinaldo Rueda’s plan. The coach of the Qatar Stars League | Colombians Abroad”>Colombian National Team knows the importance of achieving a victory in the Metropolitano against the Peruvian National Team. The national team will seek to fight for that direct quota to Qatar in these last four dates.
Prior to the decisive match, Rueda gave a piece of calm in the face of David Ospina’s muscle injury recently. The Napoli goalkeeper will be the starter and captain of the national team. Your safety will be very important to achieve confidence on the pitch. “Hopefully tomorrow he has a good behavior, giving us all his experience to the national team,” said the coach.
The game system you would bet on would be 4-4-2. Luis Díaz, who would be close to Liverpool, would be one of those responsible for the imbalance on the left wing. Juan Cuadrado would be right back and his mission will be to help James Rodríguez. The ’10’ will have to create a game, open the field and connect with Santos Borré and Falcao.
The casualties of Colombia
The Selection has several casualties. Juan Fernando Quintero was not summoned, after suffering a strong blow to the knee against Honduras, the steering wheel is in River Plate. Duván Zapata has missed several games with Atalanta in 2022 due to a muscle injury. Jefferson Lerma and Luis Muriel were called off due to covid-19.
On the other hand, Gustavo Cuéllar will not be able to play against Peru due to suspension, after being booked against Paraguay.
The formula would return: James – Falcao
One of the couples that have given the most joy to the National Team, would return for a fundamental meeting. James Rodríguez and Falcao García always complement each other very well on the pitch. The ’10’ with his filtered passes and the movements of the ‘9’ inside the area could be decisive, just like the still ball. The perfect centers of the steering wheel and the good header of the Tiger would contribute.
