“I think that from my side, nothing was lacking, since I had the great opportunity to stand out in B. But Colombia is a country of great talent, of many players who are lostUnfortunately for lack of opportunities, and among them was me, who was in B and that opportunity did not come to me in A. Maybe that’s why I had to go to Europe, “he said.
Now, after making a name for himself in Europe by defeating Real Madrid at home, Castaneda dreams of playing one day in the Colombian National Team and for this he thinks that he must continue to grow in the old continent.
“If the pass were to be made to the second round, my dream is to be with the National Team and I am aware that you have to be in a much bigger league to have a call. What I have always done as a player has been to pursue my dreams and that is to continue growing as a player and to be able to participate in one of the big leagues of Europe. I think I would lean more this way ”, he explained.
For now, this Tuesday, against Inter, Castañeda will be able to cross with one of his idols, the Chilean Alexis Sánchez.
“He is one of my favorite players and I have followed him for a long time. Hopefully I have a chance to change the jersey with him. I have his videos, his goals. He seems like an extraordinary player to me. And play in the same position as me“, He concluded.
