Ronaldo sums up Colombia’s explosion in 5 words
Davinson Sanchez’s sprain prevented Colombia from completing the World Cup group stage with a clean sheet.
Colombia almost won against Portugal, but the match ended in a goalless draw.
The Colombian team increased its score to 7 points in the first position of the 11th group by holding a match with Ghana in the 32nd final of the World Cup.
The paper reviewed “Brand:In his report, he explained how the Colombian national team declared itself a candidate to fight for the title of world championship champion.
“Colombia is very strong… very strong,” Cristiano Ronaldo said as he left the Hard Rock Stadium media area.
Meanwhile, Colombia coach Nestor Lorenzo explained: “It was a match that measured our positions and the truth is that it left me satisfied. We’ll keep going. Colombia had a great match from start to finish. We deserved to win.”
That’s what actually happened, but Colombia once again lacked the final touch in front of goal.
Colombia play like Brazil on their best days
The Colombian team scored 4 goals, conceded two goals in the group stage, and its players scored 59 goals in the first three games.
Ironically, his match against Portugal was his most attacking, after he fired 24 shots on goal.
“After the last match, I said that when we play against opponents who allow us to play, it becomes more comfortable for us,” said James Rodriguez, who played another great match and created 5 goal chances.
Colombia wore Brazil’s kit, after using white socks because Portugal wore red socks, but they also played like Brazil in their best days.
Camilo Vargas was a huge presence in goal, while the centre-back pairing of Lusumi and Davinson Sanchez looked impenetrable and had a physicality that has been hard to come by at this World Cup.
As for Daniel Munoz, he was like a rocket on the right, Gustavo destroyed the opposition’s lines, James lived his usual brilliant state at the World Cup, and Luis Diaz undoubtedly confirmed that he is a world star.
“Colombia played a great match from start to finish,” Nestor Lorenzo said proudly. “We played with total honesty against one of the favorites to win the World Cup like Portugal and I think we outplayed them.”
Great public support for the Colombian team
Colombia are looking to match their best ever World Cup finish, reaching the quarter-finals at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Colombia is also participating in the tournament this time as if it were playing on home soil, not only because of the geographic proximity of the United States and Colombia, but also because, according to the 2021 census, the United States is home to more than one million Colombians, the largest Hispanic population in the country, according to official US government data.
The match against Portugal in Miami, where about 700,000 Colombians live, was the best evidence of that. “I was looking at the stands and it felt like we were playing in Barranquilla,” said a stunned Lorenzo.
