The Colombian Under 20 National Team disappointed in its debut at the Maurice Revello tournament in France (the former Esperanzas de Toulon), falling in the penalty shootout against the weak Comoros after the initial 1-1.
The national team had many definition problems and it only got complicated in its debut in the international contest, in which the country usually makes good presentations.
The criticism and even the memes have not been long in coming and they focus on strikers like Tomás Ángel, from whom much more was expected.
But the analyst Iván mejía has gone further and has not been left alone in the footballers who are actually responsible, or in the coaches, because it is worth remembering that the starting coach, Héctor Cárdenas, is in Spain, in front of the senior team, which will play a friendly against Saudi Arabia on June 5.
Mejía has no doubts about the underlying culprits: “The defeat of the youth team against the marvelous Comoros team. But, Don Ramón and GONZALEZ are the “owners”. Christmas comes to every pig…”, he said.
Defeat of the youth team against the portentous team of Comoros. But, Don Ramón and GONZALEZ are the “owners”. Every pig gets his Christmas..

‘The owners’ is the term that Jesurún himself used to defend his permanence in the position of president of Fedefútbol (FCF) despite the controversies and results like this one or like the elimination of the Qatar World Cup, which in other countries managers paid in equal parts with coaches.
Colombia’s next challenge in the French youth tournament will be Algeria, next Friday, June 3.
