The team is focused and concentrated, working on the mental part for the debut this Monday at 5:00 pm against Paraguay and does not allow itself to lose concentration due to “being one of the favorites.” “It’s not that one is not excited, on the contrary, we are all excited. But the thing is that the favorite almost never wins, the favorite is the one they want to overturn.. We are not going to get on that, we go ball by ball, that’s how games are won. Regardless of how well it went for us, it does not guarantee anything, tomorrow is another story,” Lorenzo said at Sunday’s press conference.
Colombia, with its ideal team against Paraguay
The Argentine coach will put his best XI, the one he has been relying on for several games and that had a great performance in the friendly a few weeks ago against the United States, that day they beat the local team 5-1. Camilo Vargas, Davinson Sánchez, Jefferson Lerma and James Rodríguez, the backbone of Colombia to play against the Paraguayans. There is only one change, Richard Ríos for Matheus Uribe.
Lorenzo would go with Camilo Vargas in goal; Daniel Muñoz, Davinson Sánchez, Jhon Lucumí and Johan Mojica in defense; Jefferson Lerma, Richard Ríos and Jhon Arias in the middle; James Rodríguez floating, Luis Díaz as winger on the left and Rafael Santos Borré as a center forward, sometimes having to go back or throw himself to the right.
