Without a doubt, Carlos Cuesta has been the great revelation of Colombia in this triple round of Qualifying. The Genk defender won the title by taking out neither more nor less than Dávinson Sánchez and he has more than complied.
In his first two games he has had to deal with Uruguay and Brazil, teams that are more than complicated. The result could not be better. Figure and bulwark of the team in its first 180 minutes with the tricolor jersey. Quite a dream.
Just after the 0-0 draw with Canarinha, the former Nacional spoke about his pleasant footballing present and revealed certain infidences regarding his relationship with coach Reinaldo Rueda.
Consolidation with Colombia – This is part of what are the processes in the Selection. I have had the opportunity to play, the teacher and the group have trusted me and the least I can do is respond on the court.
Compete with the best – It is usually the dream of every player: to be competing at the top. They are players who compete in the big leagues, in the best teams and when you are here you realize that it is a dream come true. In the end it is the reward for years of effort.
Objectives with the Selection – What goes through my head is to go out and play a good game. Enforce the entrance to each of the people who come here, who accompany us. A whole country sees us as references and wants to see us at a World Cup. We want to be there in Qatar.
Wheel Relationship – We have a relationship with the teacher for years. The looks say more than the words. He and I speak little, more than anything that has to do with the game, practical indications. Off the field, he’s like a father to me.
