The Colombian National Team reached the date 13 of the Qualifiers to Qatar 2022 with the direct classification and the pride of the undefeated in the Reinaldo Rueda era.
But the next day, this Tuesday (6:00 pm) in Barranquilla, he arrives one place below, now in the playoff zone, and with an urgent need to win at home to stay alive in the qualifying fight.
Losing against Brazil, the super leader of the Qualifiers, was among the possibilities, beyond that first half that for Carlos ‘Pibe’ Valderrama was “category”. But Paquetá and the talent of the best team in the region did their thing and now that 1-0 suffered in Sao Paulo must be lifted with a victory.
“Colombia, first half good, second half, disappeared. He lost undefeated, we are in the fight, we are in the playoffs, but we are unable to give anything away, we already gave away what we had to give away. If we want to go to the World Cup, we have to win on Tuesday forced. We do not accept or draw, “sentenced the legendary former Colombian captain.
The time for excuses, in short, is over: “We know that the South American Qualifiers are not easy, but we have to get up again. It is an obligation to win on Tuesday, there is no chance of a draw against Paraguay,” he added on his social networks.
Always accurate. And this time especially peremptory. The ‘Pibe’ is right: here, more than ever, you cannot tie.
