Colombia thrashed Guatemala 4-1 in the new era of the ‘Tricolor’ with Néstor Lorenzo and immediately echoed the level of the young players, who entered in the second half, showing good performance and solving a goal problem, since their collective plays and speed were felt, so it can become a viable option to start from the beginning of the game against the Mexicans.
One of the best performing players was Yasser Asprilla, The jewel that became known in Envigado and who barely came of age went straight to Europe to play in Watford, where he has managed to win the title in the English club and be important in that team in the second division of England.
Promising start
Since his professional debut with the ‘Cantera de Héroes’ in 2020 at just 16 years old, the youth began to make his way in Colombian soccer where he always stood out for his speed and ability to break any defense, ending up generating options for goal for his teammates and also contributing the goals.
Approach to the Colombian National Team
With the ‘Tricolor’, Yaser Asprilla managed to be approached at the time of Reinaldo Rueda and had the opportunity of his first call-up in the Qualifiers against Qatar against Peru in Barranquilla, but due to the circumstances of the match, he was not taken into account as solution.
chance to shine
With his official debut in a match with Colombia, Yaser Asprilla, at the age of 18, managed to impress with his good soccer level against Guatemala, where Lorenzo gave him the opportunity to show his contribution and managed to achieve a collective goal that he wove with Jorge Carrascal. HIS speed, dribbling with a goal, became decisive to continue being taken into account with more minutes in the selected team.
Thus, Néstor Lorenzo will have the tough challenge of rethinking which roster to start against Mexico, as the young players responded to him and ended with a partnership of understanding that was reflected in the goals scored in the second half. For now, Yaser Asprilla is a reality and could be one of the surprises in the initial team of the Argentine coach.
