One day after Víctor Aristizábal hit a stop to a former Colombian National Team player for not greeting him, in the debate they had another referent of the ‘Tricolor’ as a guest.
Hernán Darío ‘Bolillo’ Gómez, technical director of the national team in the World Cup in France in 1998, defended the Argentine strategist Néstor Lorenzo for the call made for friendlies against Guatemala and Mexico.
“It’s very difficult to please everyone after not qualifying for the World Cup,” he said during his interview on the sports channel’s ‘F360’ program ESPNwhere he added that the team was left out of the competition in Qatar due to “bad times”.

Lizeth ‘Liche’ Durán refuted Gómez’s statement and was critical of the results that the players had in the decisive matches of the tie, which caused the coach’s annoyance.
“Hopefully in the lives of all of us we have good times because it is very easy to be pointing,” assured ‘Bolillo’, annoyed in his response by the attitude he considers communicators have of “pointing and pointing” in their analyses. “It’s not like that either,” he said.
In the midst of his disagreement, he continued the conversation with the panelists and, in a subsequent speech by Durán, he apologized and justified his attitude: “When I get involved in arguing about football, I’m like that, fast-paced.”
In fact, Gómez also highlighted the call of James Rodríguez for the work he has done in his career with the Colombia selection: “I would never speak ill of James,” he asserted.
This was the statement that opened the controversy on the part of the man from Antioquia with the communicators of the sports program, in the midst of the discussion for the elimination of the Qatar World Cup.
