The 35-year-old Venezuelan steering wheel Luis Manuel Seijas, who had a prominent time at Independiente Santa Fe, spoke about the playoff game that the Colombian National Team will hold this Tuesday, March 29 at 6:30pm against 'Vinotinto' in Puerto Ordaz.
The 'Tricolor' will have to beat José Néstor Pékerman's Venezuela and wait for other results to win the repechage quota and play their last card to qualify for their third consecutive world cup.
A voice authorized to speak about this match is Luis Manuel Seijas, who played a total of 71 official matches with Venezuela and participated in three knockout processes between 2010 and 2018. He also participated in the South American U20 in 2005 that took place in the Coffee Axis where Colombia was crowned champion.
The one born in Valencia, Venezuela arrived in Santa Fe in 2008 from Deportivo Táchira in his country. With the 'Leon', Seijas won three titles; a Colombia Cup in 2009, a league in 2014 and the Conmebol Sur Americana in 2015 against Argentina's Hurricane.

Currently, Luis Manuel Seijas is a member of the Phoenix Rising in the United States and spoke to the microphones of the Caracol Radio Sports Carousel about work being done by Argentine José Néstor Pékerman at the helm of Venezuela.
Similarly, the former Chapecoense stated that for them the games against Colombia have a special condiment because it is a “Classic”, and it motivates the fact that they have not lost as a local for 26 years with coffee growers.
He also pondered the work that Richard Páez did at the time in front of the 'Bolivariano' draw, and recalled the painful defeat that Colombia suffered in 2003, when he fell 1-0 with Juan Arango's score in the Metropolitan of Barranquilla.
Finally, he pointed out that there are rivals who still look at the Venezuelan National Team over their shoulders and that this factor usually weighs on opponents when they face them.
