In Colombia’s resounding victory over Costa Rica, one of the players who stood out the most and received all the applause was striker Jhon Córdoba, an attacker with a good physical prowess, who knew how to take advantage of his opportunity. He scored a goal and won a penalty for Luis Díaz’s goal.
“I am calm, I have always trusted in my abilitiesI had confidence that I could contribute and my teammates are also showing confidence today,” the forward said in the mixed zone.
The forward has an interesting record, he has scored 3 goals in 6 games officials with the Colombian national team, that is, an average of 1 goal every 2 games. Whenever he was a starter, he scored. He scored goals against Romania, Bolivia and Costa Rica.
The most interesting thing about all this is that we in ToqueSportswe interviewed Jhon in 2020 through our section of Coffee growers around the worldwhen he wore the colors of FC Colonia. (See full interview with Jhon Córdoba)
At that time, he expressed his desire to wear the Colombian national team jersey for seniors, which is what he was preparing for despite never receiving the support of Carlos Queiroz, coach in charge of the coffee team that year.
This Friday, after the game against Costa Rica, he recognized us in the Mixed Zone and we remember that talk. We invite you to see the striker’s reactions and his words:
