A position for which there was not even enough space Mateo Casierra, top scorer for Zenit St. Petersburg, Russia.
The tricolor team continues in USA, where next Saturday (4:00 pm) they will play against Bolivia the last friendly match prior to the continental competition, after beating the local team 5-1.
Lorenzo, a 58-year-old Argentine coach, will have to resolve the dilemma after that match in the hope that the chosen one will provide him with enough experience.
The Hummingbird, in good time
Lorenzo is a man who has respected the process, but until now he had not called up River Plate’s scorer, Miguel Borja. El Colibrí, 31, before joining the Tricolor, scored 22 goals in 27 games with the Argentine team.
In addition, With the National Team jersey in this era he only has one goal in 4 games. Against the USA he did not have minutes.
I deleted, the trusted one
One of the key pieces in the strategist’s scheme is the forward of the Brazil international, Rafael Santos Borré.
La Maquina, at 28 years old, is the man who until now has been used the most with the Tricolor. Why does Lorenzo like it? Borré has played 19 games with the senior team and has only scored 6 goals, which shows the confidence that the coach has in him.
On the other hand, The Barranquillero brings sacrifice when it comes to going down and recovering the ball, returning and marking the line of the ball.
Borré is not an area forward, he enters into the creation of the game and in several moments of the matches he is seen starting from behind, but he is still that player with a goal-scoring nose. This was demonstrated precisely in the second goal in the rout of the United States., with a Chilean half, after chasing a rebound that Jefferson Lerma won. He arrived at the call-up with 3 goals in 10 games with Inter.
Córdoba, a resilient
And he remains the second scorer in the Russian League this season. The one born in Istmina, Chocó, Jhon Córdoba. He scored 18 goals in 32 games after finishing the cycle with Krasnodar.
Despite scoring with his team, he hasn’t had much action with Colombia.
