The Colombian National Team defeated Peru 2-1, their first victory in the South American Under 20 Cup, and although the support of the fans in Cali was not as expected, there was a guest in the stands who caught everyone’s attention.
The former DT of the senior team, Reinaldo Rueda, was present at the Pascual Guerrero and the opinions were not long in coming.
Many charged him with eliminating the World Cup in Qatar and made all kinds of comments about his presence on stage, but others defended him.
These were some criticisms, which in any case were not correct because Colombia won their match:
The delay was that Reinaldo Rueda was at Pascual Guerrero and the Colombian team is already losing. What type to destroy the selection.

Reinaldo Rueda is in the stadium, the national team no longer wins, I salute it

Look at Reinaldo Rueda all calm there, as if he were not directly in charge of the sadness of 40 million Colombians last year.

They focused on Reinaldo Rueda in the stadium, it gave me chills.

Others instead defended him:
Being DT of the Colombian sub-20 seems more punishment than reward. There hasn’t been a decent one since Reinaldo Rueda.

Reinaldo Rueda should have a life contract with the minor teams.
