The national team that Reinaldo Rueda guides is already complete in Barranquilla for what will be a microcycle, with players from the Colombian league, which will run until Thursday. The last to join the concentration were Dairon Mosquera, left back of Santa Fe, and José Luis Chunga, goalkeeper of Jaguares.
Regarding this first call for most of them, David Lemos from Once Caldas (scorer of the Betplay League with 4 goals), Cristian Arango from Millonarios, Fabián Ángel from Junior and Santiago Moreno from América, gave their first impressions already with the Colombia National Team shirt.
David Lemos: “This confirms your work, that you are doing things well and that you are on the right track. It is one more motivation to prepare myself in the best way.”
Cristian Arango: “Give 101% of myself, prepare well, work. Precisely that, I come willing to work a lot.”
Fabian Angel: “Learn too much, make the most of the opportunity. Give my best, show my qualities. I have to learn and get the most out of training.”
Santiago Moreno: “It is a recognition of my work, what I have been doing, and it motivates me a lot to continue showing what I am capable of”.
🎥 The happiness of wearing the Tricolor! 💛💛💙❤️
