German Cano He is one of the players of the moment in world soccer, the Argentine striker, with an important step in Colombian soccer, shines in the Fluminense of Brazil and, following his hat-trick once morest River Plate in Libertadores Cupbecame the top scorer in the world in the year, together with the Norwegian Erling Haaland. Cano spoke with The Lengthen by Caracol Radiowhere he explained the reasons that prevent him from nationalizing and playing with the Colombian National Team.
“Very good, a magical night, the team really played very well once morest a great team like River, we were able to take the game forward, we managed to score the goals to take this victory. Living very happily in Fluminense, I hope to continue in the same way and obviously hand in hand with the goals”.
“With Jhon we are very good friends. He is a very good boy, very calm, who is always dedicated to training and doing the best for the team. He is having an incredible season, last season also in the same way, he assisted me a lot. That’s why he’s in the National Team, he’s well deserved, he’s going to make a mark in the National Team because he’s a great player, a better person and we have a beautiful friendship here, We live very close from one house to another and the connection and chemistry on the pitch is great. Every day that the games go by I get to know him more, he is a player who can calmly win a game with one of his plays or throw a cross that leaves you only one-on-one with the goalkeeper. For me he is a reference, a boy with a huge future and we will be seeing it soon European leagues”.
“On many occasions he gets down, he looks bad due to a match situation, but I am always there to be able to encourage him, not only me but all my teammates. He is a boy who is learning a lot, who listens and above all else he is very good, he has great human qualities”.
Why wasn’t Colombian nationalized?
“What happens is that I did not get to spend the necessary time that he asked me to migration to be able to fulfill those two years that I compulsorily asked myselfa, I spent a year and a half in 2018 and the opportunity came up to come to Brazil and I might not fulfill those two years. I was doing all the paperwork to be able to nationalize myself, but it didn’t happen. Everything was left at zero and that issue might not be resolved ”.

Would you like to play with Colombia?
“If they called me, one would think so for all that he lived in the country, because my son is Colombian and at the time he really wanted not to occupy a quota as a foreigner and that more players might join the team. First it was that, which was what we wanted, I never had any call, but hey, today I have to be in another country and work here. At the time, no one called me, there was a lot of press that said they were going to call me, but that did not happen.
“I did not speak to anyone from the Argentine team, but I do understand that they have a process that has been going on for many years with several players who have been working together and it is very difficult to be able to enter the team, I understand it and there are players who are in European football who represent all of us in the best way. It’s difficult, I don’t have that control to be able to choose, what I can do is be able to do my best for Fluminense, If it has to happen it will happen and if not I will continue in my happy club and give my best for Fluminense”.
What does it feel like to be the world’s top scorer with Haaland?
“For me it is a very great satisfaction that I am living, I struggled a lot to be where I am today, growing as a player and as a person. Seeing myself in those positions is the work I did for a long time, it is not from now but from many years. When you work over time, you always see yourself reflected. I am very happy for the present that I have to live”.
Why never played in Europe?
“It never happened in European football, I didn’t want to wait long either, I don’t like staying six months without playing, a year without playing or waiting for an offer to Europa. I have always spoken with my employer and I always accepted what was within reach and as quickly as possible. The possibility of going to Europe was never given, they are football things and things that happen ”.
Want to retire in Medellín
“If an offer comes from another team, I would say no, I am true to my word, what I said years ago. If I go back to Colombia, I would go back to DIM, if they receive me, I would love to finish my degree there. It does not depend on me, but on the situation of the club, on how everything is. I always carry red in my heart and I always want it to do well and we always give it a lot of strength”.
Why do you love him so much? DIM?
“Because we love Medellín, my family loves Medellín, my son was born in Medellín, he is paisa, we love the city very much. We have our house, our friends, we have friends who came to visit here. We miss the city very much, in the future we will surely return, it is a country that we love very much, Colombians treat us very well, we will always be grateful because they always opened the doors for me from the first moment. At some point in my career there is always that thought of returning to Independiente Medellín and being able to wear the sacred, hopefully.
The DT of the DIM who remembers the most
“There are several, I have worked with many technicians, but the one that marked me the most from the first moment was the bolillo gomezwho asked me when I arrived in Medellín, was like a father to me, He has given me a lot of good advice and surely he will have scolded me for my own good. I always have the best memories of Boli, who is a great person and I appreciate him very much, he helped me understand how the city of Medellín moves, what it is, what it represents, that is why I have great appreciation for Boli”.
The player you remember the most?
“I have a very good friendship with David González, with (Andrés) Ricaurte, that they are players with a different personality, well, whenever I can I talk to them, I like to know how they are, they are great people, great partners, I have a special affection for what they gave to the club and what they represent”.
