There are only days left to know the first call of the Colombian National Team under the command of Néstor Lorenzo and there are few clues and important warnings before meeting their chosen ones.
From the experience of those who were part of the successful process, precisely when Lorenzo was José Pékerman’s assistant, come some of those recommendations that would be worth listening to.
Carlos Sánchez, a banner in that unforgettable World Cup in Brazil 2014, said it without thinking about it: “At the national team level it is very difficult to prepare a match because there is very little time. So it is the process, the knowledge of the players and maintaining a squad and a base. Brazil and Argentina maintain a base, they don’t change that much,” he said in a chat with Blu Radio.
And watch out for those who have so much desire to wipe the slate clean: “We with that desire to want to show players… The National Team cannot be a catwalk to be showing players,” he warned.
‘La Roca’, who was in his best moments dressed in yellow in the midfield, knows what he is talking about when he receives a call: “the team has to be a group of players who come together to fulfill a task, a responsibility. Because it’s not about opportunities anymore, you already have a responsibility. You have to respond, you’re going to put on the national team’s jersey and you have to defend it. You’re defending more than forty million people, representing them. So they’re fine changes at the payroll level, but you can’t change that much,” said the man who is now living a second youth in Independiente Santa Fe.
