This Friday, June 28, the Colombian National Team will face Costa Rica for the second day of Group D, in the 2024 Copa América. And before the start of the match, Juan Pablo Vargas spoke to the media as a representative of the ‘Tico’ team.
Millonarios’ central defender began by responding to the forceful statements of Miguel Ángel Borja, who invited them to play and propose football. This, taking into account that in the game against Brazil, those led by Gustavo Alfaro had a clearly defensive stance.
“We have an approach that no statement is going to change. What we do intend is to leave the goal at zero. If one day you can’t win, don’t lose. It is an intelligent phrase that is underestimated and may sound mediocre, but it is not.” said Juan Pablo Vargas at a press conference.
In addition, Vargas also said that the important thing is how they feel and not if they see them as a team that does not let them play. “We are more interested in how we feel, we care little about how our rival sees us.”

The 29-year-old centre-back revealed that what they have worked on the most is aerial play and set pieces. “Set pieces win games and we have to work on them. We have already analysed where James likes to put the ball. We also have good players and that can save the game for us.”
