This Friday, the Colombian National Team plays a key duel thinking about qualifying for the Qatar World Cup. The national team receives Peru in Barranquilla with the urgent need to get the three points.
In the run-up to the match, Luis Javier Suárez, summoned at the last moment due to the loss of Jefferson Lerma, spoke about the scoring drought of the coffee forwards and the similar situation he experienced while at the Spanish Granada.
Lack of goal in the National Team – I think that the lack of a goal in one of the strikers can happen. The National Team has been working very well at the defense level, in the midfield, but when we got ahead we haven’t been lucky enough to get things done. I’m sure that the teammates want to do it in the best way, things haven’t been going well for us in recent games, but we’re convinced that the goal will come.
Solution to drought – We are professionals. We have a lot of experience in these things, we know that we strikers are on a roll and we must have that peace of mind so that in this game we can celebrate with the whole country and the united group.
Own experience in the absence of a goal – I also came from a goalscoring drought of almost two months without scoring with Granada. I didn’t rush and the two goals came against Getafe. This can happen to us now in the match against Peru. There are strikers who have gone many games without scoring, but they can score goals here. If the possibility arises, I will contribute my grain of sand.
Contribution of the leaders of the National Team – Our references like James, Falcao, David give one confidence and more when it is the second with victory. That is important, to feel supported by the leaders.
Last minute call – I have been doing my job at my club, I worked hard every game and training for the opportunity to come. It couldn’t be before. He arrived at this time and happy to receive this call.
