The symbol of Colombian football put Argentina as a rival for the title. It gave a surprising result.
Carlos the ‘Pibe’ Valderrama is in the United States, as he works for an international media in the coverage and analysis of the Copa América 2024.
The ‘Pibe’ is a symbol of Colombia to the world, so he is one of the sensations in this Cup. In addition, he is recognized for speaking hard, up front and without hesitation, and this is what he referred to when asked about the objectives of the Colombian National Team in the competition.
Located in group D, along with Paraguay, Brazil and Costa Rica, the Tricolor seeks to make a historic performance, led by coach Néstor Lorenzo, and reach the grand final, something that has only happened twice: 1975 and 2001 .
Thus, Valderrama reacted to the favoritism with which Colombia arrives at the Copa América, and put pressure on it to be a finalist and champion of the competition.
The ‘Pibe’ assured that the Colombian National Team “is fine, it is a favorite and a candidate. They have many games without losing and we have a good team.”
In addition, he predicted that the coffee team will play the final against Argentina, and even dared to give a result that would cause surprise in the 2024 Copa América: “Colombia is a favorite and I also take the risk: final against Argentina and we won 2-1.”
