On Brazil and the transformation of football in the last 30 years:

“Brazil in 1994 had a delicate period, where it had not been able to win a World Cup for 24 years. The soccer scene was different. He had passed to Germany a year earlier. There were only three foreign players per team. Now there are colonies of foreigners in the teams. The world of sports has changed a lot due to globalization. (...) Now the Brasileirao and the national team have a good present, the first with teams in the Libertadores and Sudamericana finals, and the second with almost assured World Cup qualification ”.

“Brazil did not play well against Colombia. The importance of the players made it necessary to do something completely different. Colombia played a fierce, strong match, where they wanted to win. They have a good team and a good chance to qualify for the World Cup.

Colombia has had good football. He has a team that can play nice, that is aggressive. It is logical that these players have more experience and that is why they open more space worldwide.

On Luis Díaz and the rumor of changing clubs in Europe

24 happenings

“Luis Díaz is a player who can play for Bayern Munich. That team has important flyers and especially in that position. There's Koeman, Gnabry, and I don't know if they buy it for that. (…) I think that for him, if he has a chance in Mourinho's Roma, it is better because he will have a better chance of playing ”.

About James Rodríguez

“I have followed the news of James a bit. I have a photo with him when he was at Bayern Munich. A great player. I think that the head does not work, it does not have the concentration to do what it should do. He has potential and a good level, but I feel like sometimes he doesn't feel like it. Play a game well, another bad, another regular. You have to always have a good head, otherwise you will not achieve a good level ”.

On Robert Lewandowski and Erling Haaland, references of the Bundesliga

They are different, diverse players. Lewandowski is 33 now, has impressive experience and concentration. How he plays draws my attention because he can be an example for everyone. All these years he has always had that desire to be a reference. And Haaland, on the other hand, is a 21-year-old who also wants to win. We must look to the future what can happen to it.
