Colombia

Round-up and possible starters

By: Nando | November 16th, 2007 | 4 Comments »

First of all, Rentería is fully recovered of his injury and will play on tomorrow’s game, that’s really great!. On the other hand, Amaranto Perea (Atlético de Madrid, Spain) is injured and won’t be able to play tomorrow. Humberto Mendoza (Atlético Nacional) was called last night but he won’t be on the pitch tomorrow (he will be on the bench though). Nevertheless, Perea would play on Tuesday game against Argentina.

These seems to be the squad who will play tomorrow:

  • Goalkeeper: Julio (Tolima)
  • Defenders: Bustos (Gremio, Bra), Moreno (Cúcuta Deportivo), Mosquera (Sevilla, Spa), Velez (Atlético Nacional)
  • Midfielders: Sánchez (Valenciennes, Fra), Amaya (Atlético Nacional), Castrillón (Medellín), Ramírez (Atlético Nacional)
  • Forwards: Falcao (River Plate, Arg), Rentería (Strasbourg, Fra)

It’s almost the same 11-men who started the game against Brazil one month ago, there are just 2 different players: Bustos instead of Zuñiga (Atlético Nacional, injured) and Ramírez instead of Ferreira (Paranaense, Bra, but he will be surely on the bench).

I would play with Grisales (Colón, Arg) instead of Castrillón, he’s much better and we need this kind of player to beat a team like Venezuela, hopefully he will play on second half. We should win tomorrow and I will be really disappointed if we lose.

I got tickets today so I’m going to attend to the game :-)
