Costa Rica comes from taking a golden point from Brazil on the first date of group D of the Copa América and that result left them excited for the second duel against the Colombian National Team, which comes with a favorite label for its great soccer moment.
One of the players who knows Colombian football very well is the defender, Juan Pablo Vargas, current Millonarios player, who, in view of this duel, spoke at a press conference to analyze Néstor Lorenzo’s team, highlighting its great moment, but does not believe that Costa Rica is inferior because of that.

“It is not a lie to say that when a rival is better than another, he may see it in an inferior way, but it may not be like that, but internally We are not concerned with how our rival sees us, rather we are concerned with how we can achieve mentally and that is the most important thing for us.”said Juan Pablo Vargas.
Despite this, the defender highlighted the undefeated record, but it should not be something that has to play against Costa Rica.
“Colombia as a football country is going through a very nice moment for them, obviously having so many undefeated games allows them to dream at this moment of Copa América aspirations. I don’t know how they will see us, since one stays away from social networks, but we only care more about how we see ourselves to face this game,” said Vargas.
Finally, the Costa Rican assured that in order to get a good result it is necessary to have defensive order and guts when it comes to hurting them, since being on par with them will be crucial to causing the surprise.
“The Colombian striker is a little different, the player is more physical, bigger in stature, but our form should not change and the work as defenders should be the same, the application, the order, the guts, should be the themselves. If we can do it in a similar way we will achieve good results,” concluded Juan Pablo Vargas.
