It should be remembered that Tomás Ángel, son of the former striker of the Colombian National Team, Juan Pablo Ángel, was not part of the national team that qualified for the world championship in the recent championship that took place in Colombia.
The technical director of the Colombia Under 20 National Team, Héctor Cárdenas, did not summon the Atlético Nacional striker, a decision that has been highly criticized because although the country qualified for the World Cup, which will take place from May 20 to June 11, it lacked a scorer at a good time.
Ángel was one of the great figures in the Super League final, that his team won against Deportivo Pereira, by scoring two goals in the second leg in Medellín.
“Tomás Ángel must be taken to the U-20 World Cup, he is the future of Colombian soccer,” Gutiérrez asserted when asked about this issue on the ESPN Colombia program F90.
According to FIFA, which organizes the Under 20 World Cup in Indonesia, the host Indonesia and the champion teams of the category such as England and France will be among the 24 countries represented in the tournament, which will be held in different parts of the country in two months.
