The internal environment of the Colombia National Team it remains, days following the painful defeats once morest Peru and Argentina, the daily bread. Versions of fights, divisions and even distance with coach Reinaldo Rueda are heard daily and reveal internal situations that concern but at the same time explain the critical situation that the team lives in the Qualifiers to Qatar 2022.
The revelation of a possible clash between James Rodriguez and Falconeon behalf of journalist Esteban Jaramillo, caused a great impact. Not only because they are two of the captains and leaders of the team, but because in light of the poor results these fissures are becoming more visible.
But Jaramillo’s is not the only version on the subject. Journalist Juan Felipe Cadavid inquired regarding the matter in the Colombian National Team and has a different reading of what might have happened.
“Respecting fuentes, on the subject James-Falcao: Esteban (Jaramillo) says a clash and they confuse it with a fight. When you lose a game at some point you clash, you say things, a fight is something else. As far as I know that didn’t exist between James and Falcao. Claims may be, hey why didn’t you go to that ball… a crash, a rub, but then it’s a fight… this is like a broken phone. It was a shock and it seems normal to me, ” he said on his Youtube channel.
But pay attention to the revelation he made regarding the internal environment of the team: “That there is division, there is division. There is a footballer or a pair who are trying to impose themselves, or have already imposed themselves on others.s. There are things that one does not understand, such as Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, a quiet ball that has the grip for him, understanding that JuanFer or James hit him better and that many times they are for left-handed profile and he takes them for him, when the ball of the first club never passes him and when it passes him it goes beyond the second, those things one does not understand. As he also does not understand how the coach does not say well, here my collector is this, ” he said.
Point that has been insisted on several times and that was noticed in the match once morest Peru, when one of the few clear arrivals, a front foul to the goal, ended in an inconsequential Square when it is James who has celebrated several goals from that distance.
And there was one more clarification regarding James ‘ situation in Argentina, which many interpreted as another sign of division but this would have a more logical explanation: “James was not with the others because he had symptoms that seemed like covid and what is done in those cases? they put him away. They had to transport him somewhere else. I understand he didn’t train following the game once morest Peru because he was isolated. So it’s not true that James didn’t want to be with the others, or move with the group, it was a precaution. I’m worried that he hasn’t trained for a match once morest Argentina, champion of America, but he barely arrives, he plays. And you noticed I wasn’t in tune,” he explained.
That concern adds to another that was also evident: the lack of a plan in Córdoba, Argentina. “I understand that the match that was trained was one once morest Argentina and the one that developed was another, on the way the score changed. You might tell if it was. The team was on the court but not with a clear idea. Football belongs to the players because it is the one who decides, but the technicians are very important because they must generate scenarios to develop the capacity of their players. Argentina taught us regarding it, ” Cadavid concluded.
