This Thursday, in the middle of ESPN Soccer Show the former soccer player Carlos Valdés made his position clear regarding the possibility that the Colombian National Team would be directed by Arturo Reyesafter this name began to appear as a candidate to replace Reinaldo Rueda and that the president of FCF, Ramón Jesurún, did not close the door to the one who was already interim in the majors.
Regarding Reyes and that possibility of being in charge of the Colombian project, Valdés assured: “Tell me if Arturo Reyes gets to lead the Colombia Sub-20 National Team on merit, no! He arrived because he was close at hand and he was a friend of Jesurún”, and added that the managers in Colombia go the other way: “We continue to think that this goes three ways, the press on one side, the players on the other and the managers who are those of the ticket for another”.
The position of Carlos Valdés, who thinks that Reyes is not the right one for the tricolor, was supported by the journalist Julián Capera, in the middle of the debate on ESPN. “Sometimes there are those opportunities in life, that you find something you don’t deserve or you don’t find something you deserve. There are people who manage to take advantage of that, for example Scaloni. In the case of Reyes, when he had the Sub 23 in the pre-Olympic, did not manage to qualify or the Sub 20 that qualified suffering to a World Cup, I think it shows that not yet.
