Radamel Falcao García and Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, perhaps the biggest absent from the Colombia team's commitment, the first due to injury and the second due to accumulation of yellow cards, did not forget their teammates and sent them a message of encouragement for the end of the qualifying rounds.
Falcao, the historic scorer of the tricolor team, World Cup winner in Russia 2018, shared a photo showing the initialists of the confrontation against Bolivia accompanied by the message: “We are with you, receive all our support. Hope, faith and struggle until the last minute.” The '9′, as always, showed that he accompanies the team even in the distance.
Cuadrado, the second captain of the team in the final rounds of the playoffs — the first is goalkeeper David Ospina and for quite some time James Rodríguez stopped wearing the band —, also showed that he keeps his faith intact that Colombia prevail over Venezuela and, in turn, Paraguay defeats Peru.
The versatile Juventus footballer uploaded a photo on Instagram in which he is seen inside a vehicle with his national team shirt on. In addition, he left a message: “Back home with the shirt on 🇨🇴 on me with the FE intact”.
It is worth remembering that, in case Colombia does not advance to Qatar 2022, it is most likely that both Cuadrado and Falcao will not participate in a world cup contest again, both because of their age. El Tigre, from a good start to the campaign with Rayo Vallecano, although his injuries prevented him from being constant, is 36 years old. The native of Necoclí (Antioquia), who would renew two more seasons with the Turin club, where he consolidated himself as a benchmark, is now 34 years old. It will be the task of Reinaldo Rueda or the next technical director of the coffee growers, to find who accomplishes goals and dazzles with gambetas after what will be an announced closing of the cycle.
César Augusto Londoño, one of the most critical journalists of the tricolor team, but also one of those who gave the greatest confidence in difficult matches, demonstrated on his Twitter account that he believes in the feat.
It is worth remembering that Brazil, Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay are already qualified for Qatar 2022, while Peru, Colombia and Chile compete for the quota of the repechage. Whoever gets it will face the winner between United Arab Emirates and Australia for the World Cup ticket.
Contrary to Londoño, who is not so positive that the Colombian team qualifies for the top football contest, is sports analyst Carlos Antonio Vélez. Although some believe that the team led by Rueda will arrive with a spirit after the victory over Bolivia at the Metropolitano Stadium, he played down the importance of that triumph.
“It is normal to beat a Bolivian grout, leaving the streak without a goal and feeding the miracle, although we were eliminated on the last date. Diaz took us out of the well and also ratified the weak moment of several, read Muriel-Fabra”, trino.
Colombia vs. Venezuela will be played at 6:30pm, when the rest of the final day of Conmebol qualifiers will be played.
