Vélez asks Lorenzo eight new players in Colombia's call: Mier, Suárez and more | Colombia National Team


Ask is not offending. And at this point, on the days of a new call from Colombia National Team, everyone is in their right.

The national team is very needy points, not only to cut the bad streak of four games without winning, but to ensure, now and without delays, the 2026 World Cup classification. A victory against Peru in Barranquilla or against Argentina in Buenos Aires should suffice.

However, the recent performance low makes that, which should not be so complicated, suddenly becomes a titanic task.

Change to half equipment to improve performance?

In the midst of speculation, a theory makes its way: we would have to touch those who have felt untouchable, put pressure and give them internal competition, so that the level rises and the goals and the points return.

The novelty is that there are vacancies in defense and attack, as Camilo Vargas and Rafael Santos Borré will not be available due to physical problems.

And if that is the goal, a first proposal made the journalist Carlos Antonio Vélez: summon eight new players.

His list is long and full of merits and currentness: the first is Kevin Mier, Cruz Azul Figur and with the entire selection process, erased, it must be said, by the DT in his last calls.

In addition, Luis Javier Suárez and Dayro Moreno, two tested scorers, one in the Second Division of Spain and the other, top Colombian scorer, with 360 scoring, today in Once Caldas. It has 39 years, for doubts …

Vélez also proposed to Johan Romaña de San Lorenzo, Álvaro Angulo de Independiente de Avellaneda and Julián Millán of the National of Uruguay to strengthen the rear.

He also asked Nelson Deossa, who has been appearing in Monterrey and once called him for the game in Alto against Bolivia, without having minutes.

But to the big surprise is Rafael Carrascal, midfielder of América de Cali, who lives a great moment and has made outstanding matches in Copa Sudamericana.

Will they please you? It is unlikely, knowing that Lorenzo is usually very loyal to the Copa América group, but the situation merits modifications and sparkles of ingenuity. Losing in qualifiers would be unforgivable.
