Juan Felipe Cadavid analyzed a rumor about the absence of Tomás Ángel in the Sub-20 | Colombia selection

Héctor Cárdenas launched the list of 23 players who will play the South American U-20 as a local. Colombia will face Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Peru in the first phase with the desire to pass the group stage, but they know that they will not have it at all easy with two very tough coconuts such as Argentines and Brazilians.

23 players ready to represent the Colombian U-20 National Team in the best way with the desire to go to the next round and look for one of the four spots to qualify for the World Cup in Indonesia in this category. However, it was surprising that Héctor Cárdenas did not summon Tomás Ángel, captain and benchmark of the national team, a topic of conversation that has been a trend in the sports media and among journalists.

Juan Felipe Cadavid was one of the first to leave his opinion about Tomás Ángel’s absence by writing the following message on Twitter, attaching the table of scorers of the Colombian U-20 National Team process prior to playing the South American in Colombian territory: “Tomás Ángel has merits to be in the South American, it is not a last name, it is to be the scorer of the process and with a difference. Table of goals Including Revelations Cup, Raúl Coloma Cup, Esperanza de Toulon, South American Games and friendlies against the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Peru”.

Several of the journalists also received the news of his absence with surprise, since he is the leader of the U-20 group. Without a doubt, Héctor Cárdenas summoned Jhon Jáder Durán with the longest run and international experience with the Chicago Fire and in the senior team in recent friendlies. But, other names generated surprise, especially for Juan Felipe Cadavid and the journalist Gustavo López is Isaac Zuleta, Getafe B player from Spain.

Juan Felipe Cadavid on his YouTube channel revealed rumors that may explain why Tomás Ángel was not called up by Héctor Cárdenas. Would there be directors of the Colombian Football Federation (FCF) who take out and put players in the call? Well, that is exactly what is being said by the list of 23 players.

The journalist began to list the forwards called up, among them Ricardo Caraballo, Jhon Jáder Durán and Miguel Monsalve, whom he put as great options on the attack front, until he analyzed the issue of one who has recently been called up to the microcycles of Héctor Cárdenas, perhaps due to his experience abroad with Getafe B in Spain, “Gustavo López, a very football man who is generally very well informed and who leaves this rumor around here on networks about Isaac Zuleta, a Colombian player who is in Spain has added 26 minutes throughout last season”. In López’s message he said that Zuleta would be one of the favorites and requested by Álvaro González Álzate, giving rise to a possible issue of levers that left Tomás Ángel out.

“This is the rumor, but this gives me the opportunity to return to regret things that are not far from football. Whether it is true or not, this happens. If this is true, the one who is least to blame for all this is the boy Zuleta. He was able to convince the coach, let’s say he convinced him and what explains Gustavo’s issue, which is more a matter of influence, everyone will know that and everyone’s conscience is why they do it or why not. Then he stressed that these are situations that unfortunately happen in Colombian soccer, “this player belongs to such a man and you have to give him a little hand, and players remain who in my case deserved to be here. I already told you about Tomás Ángel and there is a boy like Sebastián Girado who is above Ángel himself and Zuleta”.

A subject that causes him a lot of concern about how the youth teams are managing in the country, “from the beginning we started with these situations. The chances of making a good South American (Tomás Ángel and Sebastián Girado) are lost, since neither of them would be headlines because Jhon Jáder Durán and Miguel Monsalve for me are the headlines, but it was a moment to take advantage of wearing the Colombian National Team shirt”. And then he touched on the subject of Álvaro González, “I don’t have any paper to confirm if he is corrupt or not, I don’t know, I won’t call him that, for me he is a leader who has been in the National Team for too many years, which are more There are negative things that I could say about him from the sporting or organizational point of view than the positive ones, he has too much power and when he concentrates very strongly on one person I don’t know how good he is. If this rumor is true, then worse, if someone has how to prove it, welcome to prove it. I have nothing to prove that he is corrupt or honest because I have no proof. For the good of the Federation, it would be good for him to step aside”, Juan Felipe sentenced.
