The Colombia selection will return to the ring, officially, for the close FIFA of friendlies, where some combined will take advantage of the space to make their payrolls, facing Qatar. Others, to start a new process, with the hope of achieving a better path, facing 2026.
This is the case of the tricolor, which, under the command of Néstor Lorenzo, begins a new hope, among critics and followers, pointing to 2026, with a generation that is leaving, to add the new ones that will be integrated into the national team. .
Speaking on all lines, there is talent. From the attack, but specifically, touching the goal. The past Qualifiers were all for David Ospina, except for some injury or sanction, where Camilo Vargas appeared.
Along the way, they joined players like Álvaro Montero, who has established himself with his level in Millonarios. Recently, the tricolor strategist, under the command of Alejandro Otamendi, held a microcycle, where Kevin Mier and Juan David Valencia were also present.
The word replacement is mentioned a lot, but, in this case, there is no major novelty in the bow. 2022 for Colombian goalkeepers has been good, as they arrive with continuity at their clubs. Despite this, Ospina’s change of team questioned whether or not it was to be called again. Lorenzo backed him up and kept his decision.
So far this season, Ospina has played four games for Al Nassr. Last season, with Napoli, he played a total of 31 commitments for Serie A, adding one for the Italian Cup and the Europa League.
Camilo Vargas has remained in the Colombian Selection process. Overshadowed by Ospina’s level, he has waited for the moment from him and when he appeared, he answered him. In Mexico, he has played 14 games since the middle of the year, being fundamental with Atlas.
Called to be third goalkeeper, despite his 27 years and the possibility of competing for the tricolor arch, in the coming years, it is Álvaro Montero. In 2022 with Millonarios, he is the least defeated goalkeeper of the entire year, since he has played 36 league games.
We will have to wait for the decision of Néstor Lorenzo and his coaching staff, to define who will be the chosen goalkeeper. Continuity to Ospina or start marking the way with Vargas or Montero.
