The promise that Daniel Muñoz made to Luis Díaz after the expulsion against Bolivia

From one moment to the next, the Colombian fans went from witnessing a great game of Luis Diaz to live the biggest scare since the extreme is the great figure of the Colombia selection. And all this just days before the start of the Copa América! The kick that a Bolivian player gave to ‘Fought’ was so strong that Daniel Muñoz He came out to defend him and took a couple of rivals ahead.

Colombia faced Bolivia in the last friendly match before the Copa America 2024 and the coach Nestor Lorenzo He decided to try out players like Yerry Mina, Carlos Cuesta, Deiver Machado and Jhon Córdoba. The figures in this selection, ‘Fought’ Díaz and James Rodríguez remained in the starting eleven and the narrative that was established was that an unnecessary risk was taken.

Díaz began to show the good level with which he will reach his debut in the Copa América against Paraguay, on Monday, June 24 at 5:00 PM, with an overflow that ended in the goal of John Arias after a ball that they can hardly get out of him. Colombia was up one to zero and the best of the extreme was yet to come.

Every time Luis Díaz takes the ball there is a feeling of danger. ‘Fought’ once again overflowed on the left side and on this occasion assisted John Cordoba. Then, a very similar play ended in a great goal from the number seven player of the Colombian National Team. The win was already three goals to zero and Bolivia’s strong play indicated that it was not necessary for the Tricolor figure to continue on the field. However…

“People come to see Luis Díaz, I have to play with Luis Díaz. If I have to take him out because the referee doesn’t know how to protect him… I’m not saying that they hit too much, but there were plays in which you had to at least get their attention and that happened within half a centimeter of a strong hit. So, the referee has to draw attention. We told the linesman: ‘Listen, tell him to get a yellow card to stop this because they are kids who want to compete and sometimes they equate it that way with some rough play.’ If I am responsible for risking Luis Díaz, apologies, but I don’t feel that way, I would have liked him to play the entire game“stated Néstor Lorenzo in a press conference.
