The Colombia selection defeated Costa Rica 3-0 and the team led by coach Néstor Lorenzo managed to qualify early in group D, but now, they will define first place against Brazil, which took on new life.
This era of coach Lorenzo has left a fairly good process and in his first two Copa América outings the level of some players has been confirmed, James Rodríguez being the most notable, as he has shown that wearing his country’s shirt makes him in the maximum figure.

Regarding James’ level in this Copa America, the renowned analyst, Carlos Antonio Velezassured in his ‘Planeta Fútbol’ program on Win Sports, that he feels a love for the ten, whom he valued leaving behind his bad experiences in clubs and continues to be a leader for Colombia.
“JAmes understood with his experiences in clubs and look at the leader he is today, he is a partner of everyone, he is a sacrificial player and he does charm and fall in love. cAs I said in the broadcasteven I fall in love with it”was Vélez’s praise for the captain.
He does not feel conformity after classification
However, Carlos Antonio Vélez continued analyzing the game and feels that there is still a long way to go, because facing low-weight teams such as Paraguay or Costa Rica has not measured his true level, so he is looking forward to the elimination duels direct, so he asked for non-conformity.
“Another choral game from the Colombian National Team. It makes everything easy. It is also true that there was little in front. These are not the rivals that measure a team with aspirations. Uruguay and Colombia ride without haste. They will have to measure themselves or be measured by Argentina. I don’t say Brazil until it starts. The rest is mere paperwork,” she mentioned.
He added: “Sanchez was phenomenal, Cordoba is a truck, ‘Lucho’ opened the scoring and James, in his new version, is a total leader. We are doing well.”

For now, Colombia will prepare one of the most complicated matches of the Copa América, which will be against Brazil, on July 2, and although it is not the best version, it is still a litmus test.
