Iván Mejía criticized soccer in Colombia, elimination in Libertadores and current selection | Libertadores Cup

Soccer in Colombia is not going through a good time and this Friday through his social networks, the sports analyst Iván Mejía undressed a “harsh reality” with the elimination of two Colombian soccer greats in the preliminary phase of the Copa Libertadores, a National Team Colombia in need of a miracle to go to the World Cup in Qatar and a few soccer managers investigated for mismanagement. The journalist also harshly criticized the Colombian league.

“Hard reality: the almost eliminated team; the losing youth teams; the championship is an organizational and technically poor disaster; teams in international tournaments, eliminated; managers are investigated. Anything else?” Mejía wrote through Twitter.

The one that is about to end turned out to be a difficult week for national football, after Millonarios and Atlético Nacional were eliminated from phase 2 of the Copa Libertadores. The two greats of the FPC left many with the “curly facts”, because they did not even reach the third phase, which gave a place to the groups; they were eliminated at the hands of Fluminense (Brazil) and Olimpia (Paraguay), who overwhelmed them with scores 4-1 and 2-4, respectively.

The quick x-ray of Colombian soccer presented by Mejía generated reactions as expected. And it is that hours before, the analyst had targeted a specific manager on his networks: Ramón Jesurun, president of the Colombian Football Federation. “A single question Ramón: failure in the minors, elimination in the major, criminal investigation for reseller, disorder and total lack of credibility. Why don’t you resign and leave? Ramón, cycle completed”.
