The discussions in the Colombian National Team, now that goals are scarce and solutions of all kinds are being sought, goes through the forwards.
They are the first to be pointed out before the inescapable reality of not scoring five games ago, a situation that calls into question qualification for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
And if those outside the field are distressed, not to mention those appointed by Reinaldo Rueda with the aim of turning reality around. The one that is taken for granted before all is precisely Radamel Falcao Garcia, the captain, the leader, the one who can’t prevent injuries from throwing him off the charts at critical moments in the Playoffs.
Perhaps thinking of motivating, of giving a boost to someone else who does not suffer so many absences, he was encouraged to choose his favorite striker, of those who today wear the yellow jersey. Surprises? Definitely. While in Colombia the power and experience of Duván Zapata stands out, despite the bad streak he is experiencing in the National Team, El Tigre ‘has looked the other way.
“In Colombia I really like Rafael Santos Borré. He is growing a lot and had a very prominent role in River Plate, “Falcao said in an interview with Club del Deportista magazine.
The attacker hopes that in January, when his presence in the vital duel against Peru in Barranquilla will be urgent, he will be able to return to Rueda’s orders. But if not, it is clear that he has already chosen the one who may be his successor, by talent, age (he is only 25 years old) and friction. A lot of pressure for Borré? We will have to wait to see him in Playoffs.
