How to replace Juan Guillermo Cuadrado for the Copa América quarterfinals | Colombia Selection | Colombia selection

The Colombian Selection will meet its rival in the quarterfinals of the Copa América this Monday, June 28, on the last date of group A. Paraguay or Uruguay, from there will come the selection that will cross the Tricolor in the next round. The bad news is that he will not have Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, one of his references, for being suspended after receiving the second warning in four group stage matches.

Thus, Reinaldo Rueda’s task will be to find a replacement for Cuadrado. The coffee selector does not consider a change of scheme. He did not do it against Brazil and will surely maintain his 4-4-2 for the first direct elimination game.

Who can replace Square?

The first option seems to be Edwin Cardona, although not precisely in the same position. He would enter from the left and castling positions with Luis Díaz, who stands out on the left-handed side, but can do so on the right. Colombia’s ’10’ could also play on the right, so as not to make two changes – one in name and the other in position – and there would be a man of talent, clarity in passing and power in the shot.

Another clear option would be Daniel Muñoz, who has been playing as a right back, but has a tactical memory as a right midfielder. In that case, Stefan Medina would enter as a side and the Genk player from Belgium would come forward. Muñoz treads the area, knows the position and has been raising his level from the debut to here.

The other two options that could be handled are Luis Fernando Muriel or Yimmi Chará. Always with Luis Díaz on the opposite side. Both have power, imbalance, talent and must be demanded in the tactical part to help block the opponent’s exit.

Reinaldo Rueda has one week left. On Saturday, July 3, it will be the quarterfinals turn, so there is time to cement the bases of the National Team and find that replacement for one of the National Team’s pillars.
