The Colombian National Team is already making its debut in the Copa América, which will be next Monday, June 24, against Paraguay at the NRG Stadium in the city of Houston. A commitment that will be vital for those led by Néstor Lorenzo who will seek to continue with the high level they have had in both Qualifiers and Friendlies, and start the championship in the best way.
However, one of the people who spoke about the coffee team and who highlighted their work was the former Argentine soccer player, Sergio ‘Kun’ Agüero, who has just won with his team in the last edition held in 2021.

Agüero was explaining at an event that he sees Néstor Lorenzo’s National Team as the favorite, although he mentioned that the coffee growers have to prevent the pressure from getting the better of them. “From the outside, Colombia looks very good in the sense that it’s like ‘be careful with Colombia.’ Maybe that didn’t happen in a long time. From the outside it is seen that it is coming in a good, very good process, I hope this process can also last,” he added.
It is worth mentioning that prior to this Copa América the national team had just played two friendlies (against the United States and Bolivia) where Colombia won 5-1 and 3-0 respectively, and is one of the teams that best arrives before the tournament.
Likewise, the champion with Argentina of the Copa América in 2021 said that that pressure cannot beat them. “The most important thing is that people have patience, no matter how much you have this process, Colombia is going very well, no matter how much they may have a problem in the Copa América, it can happen, it is football, of being left out in the group stage or in the next round, what they have to evaluate is the process and that it is on a good path,” he indicated.
Colombia’s debut in the Copa América will be this Monday, June 24, when those led by Néstor Lorenzo face Paraguay at the NRG Stadium in Houston at 5:00 pm (Colombian time).
