Colombia played one last time in front of a desperate Peru because it was eliminated in the elimination

LIMA (AP) – After the Copa América on January 27, 2019, Colombia arrived in Lima with the hostility that the Viernes perpetrated against the Peruvian Alicia, since she was treated “one last time” to review the three points to be consolidated on the third round of the eliminatory tournaments in 2026.

Colombia failed to win the Copa America, but was defeated by Argentina in the final by an even greater margin.

The Argentine businessman from Colombia, Néstor Lorenzo, said before the trip through the Peruvian capital that the party with Blanquirroja was “slow and very attentive” and made sure that the meeting ended “like a finale”.

When he advocated the change of entrepreneur in Peru under the leadership of Uruguayan Jorge Fossati, he found it difficult to solve a “double difficulty problem”.

With three wins and three accumulated galleries, Colombia was punished by the eliminators of South America.

The Copa América “is very important for us in the process, but it goes on and the goal is the world,” said Lorenzo. “The immediate goals are these dates.”

Colombia managed to take the lead in Lima with James Rodríguez, declared the best player of the Copa América, who closed the card with the Spanish club Rayo Vallecano, as well as Luis Díaz, of Liverpool, the premier of the league, and Jhon Córdoba, of Krasnodar, Russia.

Today, the author of three games and an assistant at the start of the season, he said that his good deed at Liverpool gave him the confidence because he was now focused on his selection, believing that Peru was “a tough rival” among the teams they know. “Hay que contrarrestar lo que vayan a docer, we know a lot of your players,” he added.

Liverpool's extreme situation suggested that the team of the Colombian “energy” group was consolidated by the “spectacular” meeting with Logradas in July during the Copa América.

For this reason, Fossati, it is not a question of breaking through the mysteries of the country to Peru, because the board is profound and only two points away.

The 71-year-old participant said that the last week in Peru he was out of options. “If I don't think we have 'opportunities' to win, I've lived in my house,” he said.

The bicolor school was founded in the presence of the Delantes Paolo Guerrero, 40 years old, and André Carrillo, 33, as well as the midfielder Christian Cueva, 32, Russia 2018.

Fossati had repeatedly launched a double offensive on behalf of Alex Valera, the 28-year-old trainee of the local university, and Gianluca Lapadula, an Italian official who played in Cagliari. A novelty was the convocation of Maxloren Castro, a 16-year-old, from the local Sporting Cristal.

When refereed by Uruguayan Esteban Ostojich, the four played at the Estadio Nacional in the Peruvian capital, which had a capacity of 43,000 spectators.
