The world is waiting for the quarterfinals of the World Cup in Qatar, which will bring real great matches, but not everyone is so focused on it.
Some continue to process the elimination of the Colombian National Team and even in Doha, without a national presence in the competition, they find points of criticism.
The analyst Carlos Antonio Vélez surprised on the Win Sports program ‘Planeta Fútbol’ with what would be the reason why the hiring of Néstor Lorenzo as DT of the team was rushed after the departure of Reinaldo Rueda, and it was not expected at the end of the World Cup, which has left several glittering names vacant.
“I know that the president of the Federation is afraid of appointing a European coach after what happened with Queiroz. As long as we have three or two there, it will be very difficult for us to have the intensity of Morocco, the speed of one. ..”, said.
Vélez did not stop at his broad criticism and pointed, without giving names, to players in the squad: “Jesurún is afraid of bringing a European coach because the ‘walkers’ can be revealed to him. As long as the walkers are in the national team, there are than having someone walk with them”.
Who or who is it referring to? Why pepper them all with the trait of injustice that this generates? Colombia advances between friendlies and microcycles towards what it hopes will be a rematch in 2026. But, according to Vélez, it would be far from competing at the high level seen today in Qatar.
